Exodus 21:28–36

²⁸“ ‘And if an ox gores a man or a woman and he dies, the ox will surely be stoned, and its meat will not be eaten, and the owner of the ox is innocent. ²⁹But if it was a goring ox before^p and its owner was warned and did not restrain it and it kills a man or a woman, the ox will be stoned, and the owner also will be put to death. ³⁰If a ransom is set on him, he will pay the redemption money for his life according to all that is set on him. ³¹If it gores a son or it gores a daughter, according to this regulation it shall be done to him. ³²If the ox gores a male slave or a female slave, he will give thirty shekels of silver to his master, and the ox will be stoned.

³³“ ‘If a man opens a pit or if a man digs a pit and he does not cover it and an ox or a donkey falls into it, ³⁴the owner of the pit will pay restitution; he will pay silver to its owner, but the dead animal will be for him.^{q 35}And if a man’s ox injures the ox of his neighbor and it dies, they will sell the living ox and divide the money,^r and they will also divide the dead one. ³⁶Or if it was known that it was a goring ox before^s and its owner did not restrain it, he will surely make restitution, an ox in place of the ox, and the dead one will be for him.
