If we all lived "an eye for an eye", we would all be blind.
... But since I seem to have my eyes gauged no matter what I do, I'd might as well call for universal blindness.
‘If we all lived "an eye for an eye", we would all be blind.’
That’s assuming that a potential eye-gouger could not be deterred by the prospect of losing his own eye. There are communities who live “an eye for an eye” that don’t lose any eyes, because of the deterrent.
An eye for an eye means that when justice is exacted you allowed compensation for exactly what was taken.....no more. 1 stolen donkey = 1 donkey or the equivilent returned, someone steals $20, they return exactly $20, not $4500 as in the pain and suffering nonsense. It was never meant as a literal plucking out of one eye for another. Ghandi was a fool for using this an example, yet people that can't think believe it was a brilliant statement. Then again he was a major antisemite, so you can see why he would twist the Hebrew law like that.
Also there were different outcomes for accidental and purposeful actions. Thou shall not kill is purposefully plotting a murder. But its justified to kill in defense of self wife children home invasion etc. Those 5 dont deserve to breath another breath
Well thou shalt not kill should be correctly translated as murder. The seven cities of refuge were established for an accidental death, and were to protect relatives from exacting revenge and becoming muderers themselves.
Murderers however were by the law, to be put to death.
It means to do to them, what they did to these poor people. Let the criminals feel the same pain that they did to these two. Then let them die.
