An Eye For An Eye, is a verse in Ex. 21:24. Though many took the phrase to be interpreted literally, the holy Talmud [B.K.83] explains, it refers to monetary payments.
Some sages explain why, still it is phrased as it is, for from Heaven wise, the offender deserves to be punished likewise. But not by man.
Others add, that the Torah wants to teach us, not everything in this world, is as it seems.
