Deuteronômio 19
MacArthur - These “boundary marks” referred to stones bearing inscriptions which identified the owner of the property. Moving a neighbor’s boundary stone was equivalent to stealing his property. (MacArthur Study Bible) Proverbs 22:28 Do not move the ancient boundary Which your fathers have set. Proverbs 23:10 Do not move the ancient boundary Or go into the fields of the fatherless,
Deuteronômio 19
MacArthur - Jesus confronted the Jews of His day for taking this law out of the courts and using it for purposes of personal vengeance (cf. Mt 5:38–42).(MacArthur Study Bible) HCSB - There is disagreement as to whether life for life, eye for eye, and the rest were to be taken literally or whether the principle was simply that the punishment must fit the crime. The latter seems more likely given other biblical laws that indicate that tit for tat was not always followed (Ex 22:21; Num 35:31). NET Note - This kind of justice is commonly called lex talionis or “measure for measure” (cf. Exod 21:23–25; Lev 24:19–20). It is likely that it is the principle that is important and not always a strict application. That is, the punishment should fit the crime and it may do so by the payment of fines or other suitable and equitable compensation (cf. Ex 22:21; Num 35:31). See T. S. Frymer-Kensky, “Tit for Tat: The Principle of Equal Retribution in Near Eastern and Biblical Law,” BA 43 (1980): 230–34.
