Exodus 21:29-36

29However, if the ox was in the habit of goring, and its owner has been warned yet does not restrain it, and it kills a man or a woman, the ox must be stoned, and its owner must also be put to death.

30If instead a ransom is demanded of him, he can pay a redemption price for his life in the full amount demanded from him.

31If it gores a son or a daughter, he is to be dealt with according to this same law.

32If the ox gores a male or female slave, he must give thirty shekels of silver to the slave’s master, and the ox must be stoned.

33“When a man uncovers a pit or digs a pit, and does not cover it, and an ox or a donkey falls into it,

34the owner of the pit must give compensation; he must pay to its owner, but the dead animal will become his.

35“When a man’s ox injures his neighbor’s ox and it dies, they must sell the live ox and divide its proceeds; they must also divide the dead animal.

36If, however, it is known that the ox was in the habit of goring, yet its owner has not restrained it, he must compensate fully, ox for ox; the dead animal will become his.
