Exodus 21:33–34

21:33 “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 into it, 21:34 the owner of the pit must repay71 the loss. He must give money72 to its owner, and the dead animal73 will become his.

71	tn The verb is a Piel imperfect from שָׁלַם (shalam); it has the idea of making payment in full, making recompense, repaying. These imperfects could be given a future tense translation as imperfects of instruction, but in the property cases an obligatory imperfect fits better—this is what he is bound or obliged to do—what he must do.
72	tn Heb “silver.”
73	tn Here the term “animal” has been supplied.
