It’s a saying when you want revenge you will do the same thing to the person what they did to you.
For example someone stole your food so you will steal that’s persons food as your revenge. You do the same as they did to you.

In ancient times before prisons, this was regarded as an appropriate way to punish people. If someone injured another person's eye, than he should be punished by having his eye injured. Similarly if someone committed murder, he should be executed.
This particular saying is from the scriptures of the Jewish people (the Torah), referred to as the "Old Testament" of the Bible by Christians.
