The bible can be interpreted in many ways the idea of Capital Punishment can be found throughout, here is an example of capital punishment on an Ox.Exodus 21:28 If an ox gore a man or a woman, that they die: then the ox shall be surely stoned, and his flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox shall be quit.The ox is a fun example but you probably want human examples. How about killing a child because the cursed his parents.Exodus 21:15 And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall be surely put to death.and again in Mark 7:10 For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death: Withcraft? Exodus 22:18 Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.Cursing the name of the lord surely means you ought to be killed.Levitus 24:16 And he that blasphemeth the name of the LORD, he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemeth the name of the Lord, shall be put to death.

The Bible seems include civil and moral laws.
Source(s):
I also discovered that the Law of Mose did include forgiveness. In parts the law demand retribution for damage or injury, but it also include forgiveness.

On particular cases is the Year of Jubilee where debts were forgiven.
