Sometimes this proverb is shortened to just an eye-for-an-eye. So sometimes people don't say the whole, the whole, the whole proverb. Some sometimes they'll just say well something is an eye for an eye. You know , he believes in an eye for an eye. But the real full proverb is an eye for an eye, a tooth for tooth meaning of course the idea that if somebody you know injured you and knocked out your eye you have the right to injure them and knock out their eye or if they broke one of your teeth you have the right to do the same punishment back to them. You can break one of their teeth. So let's go on. The proverb derived from the code of Hammurabi . Okay. Hammurabi was the king of Babylon from 1792 to 1750 BC. So that's how far this actually goes back. This goes back to the Babylonian Empire. You know, predating you know before the Roman Empire before the Greek Empire you know, even much further back. It goes all the way back to the Babylonian Empire. Yes. So yeah Hammurabi was the king but yeah we we covered that. So this is a biblical quote Matthew 5:38. So this, this proverb also appears at least once in the Bible and this is the quote from the Bible .\"Ye have her ye have heard it hath been said an eye for an eye and a tooth for tooth . \" So so even the Bible has a quote from this proverb as well. All right ahead of course you know it also reminds me you can go back and check one of my really older videos on a Gandhi quote Gandhi had a... I thought I had a good quote that he picked from this proverb. He says an eye for an eye only makes the whole world blind. Which means that if you really follow this philosophy well you hurt me that I hurt you and then probably you hurt me back I hurt you bike you hurt me back I hurt you back. And it's kind of like never ending so Gandhi was kind of bringing out that point. So if you like that idea. Go back and check that old video I did on Gandhi. A Gandhi quote. He his quote actually worked off of this old proverb. All right. And we just give one example here. This is a typical way that it might be used. So there are many who believe that those who are found guilty of murder should get the death penalty or at least I think in a lot of states they probably don't give it for all murders but they might give it for a premeditated murder. Like if somebody planned to murder of somebody that that's usually like the first-degree murder. The one that's most serious. So probably if some people were in favor of a death penalty that's the one they would probably do it for. We know a lot of times there are accidental murders but premeditated murder is probably the one that they would want. So they believed in the philosophy of an eye for an eye and a tooth for tooth. So this is just the way that we would use it. Okay, Anyway I hope you got it. I hope it's clear.Thank you for your time. Bye-bye.
