#4 whatever the 'eye for an eye' meant the first time it was promulgated

- there are no examples in the Bible of a literal eye for an eye punishment

- by the time of the early compilation of oral law, the phrase was considered to require monetary compensation -- and the way it is written there, implies that this was the interpretation for many years before that - Mishnah Tractate Bava Kamma

I believe they insisted he report for re-education, but he told them to fook off or however you say that in Canadian.

#6 there are no examples in the Bible of a literal eye for an eye punishment

Matthew 5:29-30 King James Version

"29 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell."

#7 That’s the New Testament, Skidmark, and is a future conditional rather than a report of the Hebrew/Judaen justice system in action.

#8 “If you come across your enemy’s ox or donkey wandering off, be sure to return it. If you see the donkey of someone who hates you fallen down under its load, do not leave it there; be sure you help them with it.” Exodus 23:4-5

The idea of loving your enemy was present in the Christian version of the Old Testament.

#9 Anyone who injures their neighbor is to be injured in the same manner: fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. The one who has inflicted the injury must suffer the same injury. Whoever kills an animal must make restitution, but whoever kills a human being is to be put to death. Leviticus 24: 19-21

The Old Testament verse referenced in Matthew seems to be a message of restraint rather than a call for vengeance. Again it is The Christian version of the Old Testament.

#10 Not exactly on topic , but close, here is what A. E. Housman wrote:

If it chance your eye offend you,
Pluck it out, lad, and be sound:
'Twill hurt, but here are salves to friend you,
And many a balsam grows on ground.

And if your hand or foot offend you,
Cut it off, lad, and be whole;
But play the man, stand up and end you,
When your sickness is your soul.

Umm No.

#12 “If you come across your enemy’s ox or donkey wandering off, be sure to return it. If you see the donkey of someone who hates you fallen down under its load, do not leave it there; be sure you help them with it.” Exodus 23:4-5

The idea of loving your enemy was present in the Christian version of the Old Testament.

The translation from the Hebrew is similar in my copy of the Torah, Jewish Publication Society 1962. It isn’t about love so much as treating fairly with all, regardless of personal feelings. Or tribal feelings, as enemies in that place and time were more in the vein of Ukraine vs Russia or Jets vs Sharks than Tommy vs Joey.

And Leviticus 24: 19-21 is rounded off by verse 22: “You shall have one standard for stranger and citizen alike: fot I the Lord am your God.”

The entire sequence revolves around a man whose mother was Israelite and whose father was Egyptian (Leviticus 24:10). This person got into a fight with a full Israelits, and the half Israelite blasphemed using God’s name. So he was arrested and brought to judgement before Moses, who passed on God’s judgement that the half-Israelite was to be treated under the law the same as a full Israelite, as was the stranger in the camp. It is in that context that eye for an eye, etc. is stated, and it is in that same context of equality before the law is stated clearly in verse 22.

A new idea under the sun, whether during the Bronze Age, during the time of Jesus, and in this time when Progressives attempt to hold on to power without pity for those who believe themselves free men: that citizens and non-citizens alike, rich and poor, priest and layman — all are subject to the same laws and the same punishments.
