Exodus 21:28-36 ▼

28 And if an ox gores a man or a woman, and they die, the ox must surely be stoned, and its flesh shall not be eaten; and the owner of the ox is innocent.

29 But if the ox itself has a habit of goring from yesterday and the day before yesterday, and it has been made known to his owner, and he has not guarded it, and it has killed a man or a woman, the ox shall be stoned, and also its owner shall be put to death.

30 If a ransom is laid on him, then he shall give the redemption of his soul according to all that is laid on him.

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

32 If the ox gores a manservant or a maidservant, he shall give thirty silver shekels to their lord, and the ox shall be stoned.

33 And 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 in there,

34 the owner of the pit shall repay. He shall return silver to its owner, and the dead animal shall be unto him.

35 And if the ox of one man strikes the ox of his neighbor and it dies, then they shall sell the living ox and divide its silver, and also the dead ox they shall divide.

36 Or if it was known that the ox itself has a habit of goring from yesterday and the day before yesterday, and its owner has not guarded it, he shall surely repay, ox for ox; and the dead animal shall be unto him.
