"What's worse than rape? When you find that out, you'll know everything, won't you?" - Col. Robert Moore "The General's Daughter"

כד. עַיִן תַּחַת עַיִן שֵׁן תַּחַת שֵׁן יָד תַּחַת יָד רֶגֶל תַּחַת רָגֶל:
an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a hand for a hand, a foot for a foot
- The Bible Ex 21:24

Wiki: An eye for an eye, is the principle that a person who has injured another person is similarly injured in retribution, or according to other interpretations the victim receives the value of the injury in compensation. According to Jewish interpretations the victim in criminal law gets financial compensation based on the law of human equality eschewing mutilation and 'lex talionis'
