21 He that smiteth a beast [mortally] shall make it good; and he that smiteth a man [mortally] shall be put to death.
And if any one smiteth any man mortally, he shall certainly be put to death. And he that smiteth a beast mortally shall make it good, life for life.

Commentary on Leviticus 24 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 24
In this chapter we have,
Lev 24:1-9
Care is here taken, and orders are given, for the decent furnishing of the candlestick and table in God's house.
Lev 24:10-23
Evil manners, we say, beget good laws. We have here an account of the evil manners of a certain nameless mongrel Israelite, and the good laws occasioned thereby.
