Exodus 21:29-36

29But if the ox tended to thrust with its horn in times past, and it has been made known to his owner, and he has not kept it confined, so that it has killed a man or a woman, the ox shall be stoned and its owner also shall be put to death.

30If there is imposed on him a sum of money, then he shall pay to redeem his life, whatever is imposed on him.

31Whether it has gored a son or gored a daughter, according to this judgment it shall be done to him.

32If the ox gores a male or female servant, he shall give to their master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned.

33“And if a man opens a pit, or if a man digs a pit and does not cover it, and an ox or a donkey falls in it,

34the owner of the pit shall make it good; he shall give money to their owner, but the dead animal shall be his.

35“If one man’s ox hurts another’s, so that it dies, then they shall sell the live ox and divide the money from it; and the dead ox they shall also divide.

36Or if it was known that the ox tended to thrust in time past, and its owner has not kept it confined, he shall surely pay ox for ox, and the dead animal shall be his own.
