For him who is an occasion of harm burn for burn This phrase is part of the broader "lex talionis" or law of retaliation, which is a principle of justice that ensures the punishment fits the crime. In the ancient Near Eastern context, this law was common, aiming to limit excessive retribution and maintain social order. The concept of "burn for burn" suggests a direct and proportional response to harm caused. This principle is echoed in other parts of the Old Testament, such as Leviticus 24:19-20, and is a precursor to the teachings of Jesus in the New Testament, who calls for mercy and forgiveness over strict retribution (Matthew 5:38-39). wound for wound stripe for stripe Persons / Places / Events 1.

Limitations on Retaliation By specifying "burn for burn, wound for wound," the law limits excessive retaliation, promoting a balanced approach to justice. Foreshadowing of Christ's Teachings While the Old Testament law emphasizes justice, it foreshadows the New Testament teachings of Jesus, who calls for mercy and forgiveness, encouraging believers to transcend the law with love. Community Responsibility The law underscores the importance of community responsibility in maintaining justice, reminding believers of their role in upholding righteousness within their communities. Transformation through Christ In light of the New Testament, believers are called to transform their understanding of justice through the lens of Christ's sacrificial love and forgiveness.
