Exodus 21:30-36

30If a ransom is 1demanded of him, then he shall give for the redemption of his life whatever is 2demanded of him. 31Whether it gores a son or 3a daughter, it shall be done to him according to 4the same rule. 32If the ox gores a male or female slave, 5the owner shall give his or her master 6thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned.

33“If a man opens a pit, or 7digs a pit and does not cover it over, and an ox or a donkey falls into it, 34the owner of the pit shall make restitution; he shall 8give money to its owner, and the dead animal shall become his.

35“If one man’s ox hurts another’s so that it dies, then they shall sell the live ox and divide its price equally; and also they shall divide the dead ox. 36Or if it is known that the ox was previously in the habit of goring, yet its owner has not confined it, he shall surely pay ox for ox, and the dead animal shall become his.
