An Eye For An Eye, Cow For A Cow

Leviticus 24:18 wasn't clear to me in many English translations.  I wasn't sure what it was asking.  When I read it in the NIV and in the Good News translation, I got it.  So, it doesn't mean that you die if you kill an animal, although older translations say you must make good, life for a life.  It means that you must replace the animal.  In the modern world, I don't know how you could; some animals are family members to many.
