A burn, burning; noun used in the lex talionis formula "burn for burn" (Exod 21:25)
This feminine noun designates a burn injury, appearing only in Exodus 21:25 within the famous lex talionis (law of retaliation) formula. The phrase "burn for burn" completes the sequence "eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, stripe for stripe." The principle established proportional justice, limiting revenge to equivalence rather than escalation. The word derives from the same root as the verb "to burn" discussed above.

1. sense 1 — Attested exclusively in Exodus 21:25, appearing twice in the construct phrase "burn for burn." All major translations preserve the repetitive formula ("quemadura por quemadura" in Spanish, "brûler pour brûler" in French, "verbrennen für verbrennen" in German), recognizing the legal precision of the lex talionis principle that requires exact correspondence between injury and recompense. 2×
