EXODUS | 21:24 eye — EXOD595 It was taught in the school of Chezkiah: ...

EXOD595 It was taught in the school of Chezkiah: "An eye for an eye" -- and not an eye and a life for an eye [i.e., "An eye" must refer to monetary payment; for if "eye" is taken literally, the extraction of the eye might result in the taking of the life, and this is proscribed by Scripture] (Kethuvoth 38a)
