The chapter describes a famous law, often called the "law of retaliation". It is said, an "eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot". This does not mean a person who causes another person to lose their eye must have their own eye removed as punishment. Instead, it is about limiting the punishment or the ability of a person to retaliate. Also, this chapter describes the establishment of special cities to protect those fleeing from revenge killings.
