Chapter 233: Prophet William (9)

Leviticus 24 says:

『 Whoever takes the life of a human being is to be put to death. (Qui percusserit et occiderit hominem, morte moriatur.) 』

『 Anyone who takes the life of an animal must make restitution, life for life. (Qui percusserit animal, reddet vicarium, id est animam pro anima.) 』

『 Anyone who injures their neighbor is to be injured in the same manner. (Qui irrogaverit maculam cuilibet civium suorum, sicut fecit, sic fiet ei:) 』

『 Fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. The one who has inflicted the injury must suffer the same injury. (fracturam pro fractura, oculum pro oculo, dentem pro dente restituet; qualem inflixerit maculam, talem sustinere cogetur.) 』

『 Anyone who kills an animal must make restitution, but anyone who kills a human being is to be put to death. (Qui percusserit iumentum, reddet aliud. Qui percusserit hominem, morietur.) 』

『 You are to have the same law for the foreigner and the native-born. I am the Lord your God. (Aequum iudicium sit inter vos, sive peregrinus sive civis peccaverit; quia ego sum Dominus Deus vester.) 』

The law is solemn, and it was said that those who harm others must surely pay the price.

In other words, an unknown someone was saying this:

That they must exact a price from William...
