An eye for an eye means that a person who steals $50 should only be punished to that degree. Not more nor less. If he kills someone, then that is much more serious and should be punished in some way that is equal. The punishment for a crime should be equal to that crime. No more or not less. A small amount of stealing doesn't mean the death penalty.
