Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Leviticus 24:21
And he that killeth a beast, he shall restore it: and he that killeth a man, he shall be put to death.
21. A repetition, introduced apparently in order to emphasize the direction to exercise no discrimination ( Lev 24:22) between ‘the stranger’ and the ‘homeborn.’ P repeatedly urges this matter. Cp. Exo 12:49; Lev 16:29; Lev 17:15, etc.

And he that killeth a beast, he shall restore it,…. The same as in Le 24:18, which is repeated for the confirmation of it, and that it might be observed, though Jarchi takes it to be a different law; before, he says, it speaks of him that kills a beast, here of him that makes any wound or bruise in it, which he must make good; and it must be allowed that the manner of expression is different; there it is, he that smites the soul of a beast so that it dies, here only he that smites a beast, though it dies not, yet having some damage done it, satisfaction must be made:
and he that killeth a man, he shall be put to death; or he that smites a man, though he does not kill him, as Jarchi observes, only makes a wound or bruise in him, because it is not said, the soul of a man, as before; but such damages did not require death, but satisfaction in another way, as in Le 24:19.
