21 He who puts a beast to death will have to make payment for it; he who puts a man to death will himself be put to death.
And anyone who takes another's life is certainly to be put to death. And anyone wounding a beast and causing its death, will have to make payment for it: a life for a life.

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.
