Kill the murder in the Bible
And Never Ever take compensation
The Lord commands to kill the murder in ten verses in the Bible. In verse, Numbers 35:31, the Lord Forbids to take any compensation or satisfaction for the life of a murderer, which is guilty of death: but he shall be surely put to death.
On the contrary, taking compensation is allowed in the Noble Quran!
---------------------------------------
Kill the murder in the Bible:

Leviticus 24:17, 21 (King James Version)

17 And he that killeth any man shall surely be put to death.
21 And he that killeth a beast, he shall restore it: and he that killeth a man, he shall be put to death.

Leviticus 27:29 (King James Version)

29 None devoted, which shall be devoted of men, shall be redeemed; but shall surely be put to death.
Numbers 35:16-19, 21 and 30 (King James Version)
16 And if he smite him with an instrument of iron, so that he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
17And if he smite him with throwing a stone, wherewith he may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
18Or if he smite him with an hand weapon of wood, wherewith he may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
19The revenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer: when he meeteth him, he shall slay him.
21 Or in enmity smite him with his hand, that he die: he that smote him shall surely be put to death; for he is a murderer: the revenger of blood shall slay the murderer, when he meeteth him.
30 Whoso killeth any person, the murderer shall be put to death by the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against any person to cause him to die.
--------------------
Kill the murder and do not take compensation:

Numbers 35:31
31 Moreover ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer, which is guilty of death: but he shall be surely put to death.

=====================================

Kill the murder in the Noble Quran
And you can take compensation

Verse 2:178 says that:

O you who believe
Retaliation is prescribed for you in the matter of the murdered ones;
The freeman for the freeman, a freeman who premeditatedly kills another freeman, and the slave for the slave, a slave who premeditatedly kills another,
And the female for the female, a female who premeditatedly kills another,
And for him who is forgiven somewhat by his brother,
Whoever forgives the killing and takes instead blood money,
Prosecution according to usage
Allah commands the person who asks for blood money to claim this money according to practiced usage:
And payment unto him, the person who is required to pay blood money is commanded to give the custodians of the murdered person what is due to them, in kindness without the need to go to court or making it difficult for them.
This pardon is alleviation, appeasement and a mercy from your Lord towards the killer such that he is not killed.
He who transgresses after this, after taking the blood money and kills the murderer will have a painful doom; he shall be killed and will not be forgiven or allowed to pay blood money.
===================

Verse 2:178 in different translations:

QARIB:
Believers, retaliation are decreed for you concerning the killed. A free (man) for a free (man), a slave for a slave, and a female for a female. He who is pardoned by his brother, let the ensuing be with kindness, and let the payment be with generosity. This is alleviation from your lord and mercy. He who transgresses thereafter shall have a painful punishment.

SHAKIR:
O you who believe! retaliation is prescribed for you in the matter of the slain, the free for the free, and the slave for the slave, and the female for the female, but if any remission is made to any one by his (aggrieved) brother, then prosecution (for the blood wit) should be made according to usage, and payment should be made to him in a good manner; this is an alleviation from your lord and a mercy; so whoever exceeds the limit after this he shall have a painful chastisement

PICKTHAL:
O ye who believe! retaliation is prescribed for you in the matter of the murdered; the freeman for the freeman, and the slave for the slave, and the female for the female. and for him who is forgiven somewhat by his (injured) brother, prosecution according to usage and payment unto him in kindness. this is an alleviation and a mercy from your lord. he who transgresseth after this will have a painful doom.

YUSUFALI:
O ye who believe! the law of equality is prescribed to you in cases of murder: the free for the free, the slave for the slave, the woman for the woman. But if any remission is made by the brother of the slain, then grant any reasonable demand, and compensate him with handsome gratitude, this is a concession and a mercy from your lord. After this whoever exceeds the limits shall be in grave penalty.
-------------------------------

What if the Quran was the Book which commands to kill all of these many kinds of people? Also, the Lord in the Bible forbids taking compensation from the murder to save his life and insists to kill the murder. On the other hand, the Noble Quran allows taking compensation from the murder to save his life!
What the Western Media would have to say in such case?
