Exodus 21:30-36

30If a ransom is demanded of him [in return for his life], then he shall give whatever is demanded for the redemption of his life.

31If the ox has gored another’s son or daughter, he shall be dealt with according to this same rule.

32If the ox gores a male or a female servant, the owner shall give to the servant’s master thirty shekels of silver [the purchase price for a slave], and the ox shall be stoned.

33“If a man leaves a pit open, or digs a pit and does not cover it, and an ox or a donkey falls into it,

34the owner of the pit shall make restitution; he shall give money to the animal’s owner, but the dead [animal] shall be his.

35“If one man’s ox injures another’s so that it dies, then they shall sell the live ox and divide the proceeds equally; they shall also divide the dead ox [between them].

36Or if it is known that the ox was previously in the habit of goring, and its owner has not kept it confined, he must make restitution of ox for ox, and the dead [animal] shall be his.
