And thine eye shall not pity; but life shall go for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.

Verse 21 is found in chapter 19 of Deuteronomy. Moving property boundaries constitutes a violation of the established order for territorial inheritance. The judicial procedure requires two or three witnesses and establishes that a false accusation may receive the punishment intended for the accused. The legislation unites property, procedural truth, and proportional justice.

Dein Auge soll sie nicht schonen; Seele um Seele, Auge um Auge, Zahn um Zahn, Hand um Hand, Fuß um Fuß.
Y no perdonará tu ojo: vida por vida, ojo por ojo, diente por diente, mano por mano, pie por pie.
Tu ojo no tendrá compasión: vida por vida, ojo por ojo, diente por diente, mano por mano, pie por pie».
Tu ne jetteras aucun regard de pitié: oeil pour oeil, dent pour dent, main pour main, pied pour pied.
L’occhio tuo non lo risparmi; vita per vita, occhio per occhio, dente per dente, mano per mano, piè per piè
O teu olho não perdoará; vida por vida, olho por olho, dente por dente, mão por mão, pé por pé.
你的眼不可顧惜,要以命償命,以眼還眼,以牙還牙,以手還手,以腳還腳。」
