John Gill - Exposition - John Gill

Read in KJV Bible Reader

Breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth,.... Which is not to be taken strictly or literally, but for the price or value of those, which is to be given in a pecuniary way; [See comments on Exodus 21:24],

[See comments on Exodus 21:25];

as he hath caused a blemish in a man, shall it be done to him; unless he gives satisfaction, and pays a valuable consideration for it.
