הלכה אויף שמות 21:25

כְּוִיָּה֙ תַּ֣חַת כְּוִיָּ֔ה פֶּ֖צַע תַּ֣חַת פָּ֑צַע חַבּוּרָ֕ה תַּ֖חַת חַבּוּרָֽה׃ (ס)

אַ ברען פֿאַר אַ ברען, אַ װוּנד פֿאַר אַ װוּנד, אַ בײַל פֿאַר אַ בײַל.

Mishneh Torah, One Who Injures a Person or Property

And from where [do we know] that that which it states with regards to limbs, "An eye for an eye," is [to be understood as] payments? Since it is stated about it, "A wound for a wound," and it is explicitly stated, "And when a man strikes his neighbor with a stone or with a fist, etc... he should surely give him his rest and his rehabilitation." Behold, you have learned that "for (tachat)" mentioned with regards to a wound means payments. And this is [also] the case with "for (tachat)" mentioned concerning the eye and concerning the other limbs.
