What is the penalty for taking the life of any man?
Answer From The Annual Reading Schedule - Week 29 Notes For Leviticus: It depends. Although Leviticus 24:17 says that he is to be put to death, we have to take into account the full Word of Yahweh. See the reading notes for Week 41 of the Annual Reading Schedule, specifically the answer for the question, "Who puts the murderer to death and when?".
