Exodus 21:28–36

²⁸“If an ox gores a man or a woman ¹to death, ^athe ox shall surely be stoned and its flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox shall go unpunished.

²⁹“If, however, an ox was previously in the habit of goring and its owner has been warned, yet he does not confine it and it kills a man or a woman, the ox shall be stoned and its owner also shall be put to death.

³⁰“If a ransom is ¹demanded of him, then he shall give for the redemption of his life whatever is demanded of him.

³¹“Whether it gores a son or ¹a daughter, it shall be done to him according to ²the same rule.

³²“If the ox gores a male or female slave, ¹the owner shall give his or her master ^athirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned.

³³“If a man opens a pit, or ¹digs 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 ¹give 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.

³⁶“Or 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.
