@Osteopenia_Powers@newsie.social @aaron.rupar@threads.net That's a novel reading of Exodus 21. Where do you find that this is prohibited? That's the exact opposite of how it reads to me.

@Lightfighter@infosec.exchange The interpretation comes from Jewish scholarship in general and my Torah Commentary in particular. Although there are Biblical examples of death penalties, there are no Biblical examples of mutilation as legal punishment for crimes. Exodus here is *limiting* compensation for harms to the monetary value of the injury. 🧵/1
