Exodus 21:29-36

29If the ox was given to goring in times past, and a warning has been given to its owner, yet he has not kept it pent up, and it has killed a man or a woman, then the ox must be stoned and its owner must also be put to death.

30If instead a ransom is placed on him, then he is to pay for the redemption of his life whatever is demanded.

31Whether it has gored a son or daughter, this rule is to be applied to him.

32If the ox gores a male or female slave, he is to pay 30 shekels of silver to their master, and the ox is to be stoned.

33“If one uncovers a pit or digs a pit and does not cover it, and an ox or a donkey falls in,

34the owner of the pit must pay compensation. He is to give money to the owner, and the dead animal will be his.

35“If one man’s ox hurts another’s ox so that it dies, they are to sell the live ox and divide the price. They are also to divide the dead one.

36Or if it becomes known that the ox was given to violence in times past, and its owner has not kept it pent up, he must surely pay ox for ox, and the dead animal will be his own.
