In these chapters, I found a common expression that is used now days, but here it has a different meaning whatsoever. "Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot."(21:24)
This passage shows merely enough for an interpretation, but as it goes on, it explains that one should only bne vengeful when that who has hurt one is one's equal, and not when its is one's "superior" or one's "inferior". This shows me how the bible is a suporter and follower of inequality, for vengance is not the right thing to do, but to restrict it only among equals is even worse.
