Exodus Exodus 20:22-22:17
"Eye for eye" is the most misread sentence in the Torah — not a license for revenge but a judicial ceiling that caps retaliation at the injury. And from that ceiling the case laws of the Book of the Covenant run forward to Christ: the wound-word lands on the Servant, the willing bondservant takes the form of a slave, and the thirty-shekel slave-price becomes the betrayal price of the Son.
Genesis 8:15-9:7
Genesis 8:15-9:7 is the canonical first iteration of three load-bearing institutions and the verbal completion of a prophecy issued five generations earlier. Noah builds the first mizbeach, offers the first olah, and YHWH smells the first reach nichoach — and the aroma's Hebrew root (n-w-ch) is Noah's own name. The post-Flood charter then renews the Adamic mandate verbatim and grounds the lex talionis in tselem Elohim, an image whose LXX rendering eikōn lands at Col 1:15 on Christ.
