And whosoever shed man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed, for in the image of God made He man.

What it means
Our interpretation.
The sentence links the taking of a human life with the taking of the killer’s life in return. It then grounds that severe rule in humanity’s divine image. The passage joins an assertion of human value to a demand for bloodshed, creating a stark tension within its stated justice.
