“Eye for an eye” describes a straight forward exchange between two parties. “Makes the whole world blind” never, ever made any sense whatsoever. When I buy a candy bar for $2, does the whole world get half a candy bar and $1?
I haven't heard it referred to like that since my University days! 😺
In the same part of the OT it also discusses that if a slave owner accidentally puts out his slave's eye? The slave must go free. There's teeth mentioned in there too, I haven't read it for years now :>
But the "life for a life" part is both about the bull's owner AND about abortion too.

"We can't just stop taking eyes! That's not an option. You just need to learn to live with eye-gougers going unpunished."
