Exodus 21:30-36
30However, if only a cash settlement is demanded from the owner, the bull’s owner may save his life by paying whatever price is demanded of him.
31If the bull gores someone’s son or daughter, this same ruling applies.
32If the bull gores a male or female slave, its owner must pay 12 ounces of silver to the slave’s master, and the bull must be stoned.
33“Whenever someone opens up a cistern or digs a new one and doesn’t cover it and a bull or a donkey falls into it,
34the owner of the cistern must make up for the loss. He must pay money to the animal’s owner, and then the dead animal will be his.
35“Whenever one person’s bull kills another person’s bull, they must sell the live bull and divide the money between them. They must divide the dead bull, too.
36However, if it was known that the bull had the habit of goring, and its owner didn’t keep it confined, the owner must make up for the loss—bull for bull—and then the dead bull will be his.”
