Just to clear this up.Your both right to the extent of the mention of an eye for an eye in the Bible, however this is not it's origin.

It's origins are from ancient Babylonia, circa 1800 BC. An eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth - was the basis of the Code of Hammurabi.

To give you some relation, the oldest known text of the Old Testament, dates back to about 600 B.C - 1200 years later.
