    28If an ox gores a man or woman to death, the ox must be stoned to death, and its meat must not be eaten. But the owner of the ox will not be held liable.

    29But if the ox has a habit of goring, and it has been known to its owner for some time but he has not kept it confined, and it kills a man or a woman, the ox must be stoned, and its owner must also be put to death.

    30However, if a ransom is imposed on him, he must pay whatever is demanded for the redemption of his life.

    31Whether it gores a son or a daughter, the same judgment applies to him.

    32If the ox gores a male or female servant, the owner must pay thirty shekels of silver to the master of the servant, and the ox must be stoned.

    33If a man opens a pit or if he digs a pit and does not cover it, and an ox or a donkey falls into it,

    34the owner of the pit must pay compensation; he must pay the owner of the animal, and the dead animal will become his.

    35If one man’s ox injures another’s ox so that it dies, they are to sell the live ox and divide the money, and they must also divide the dead animal.

    36However, if it was known that the ox was prone to goring in the past and its owner did not keep it confined, he must pay compensation—an ox for an ox—and the dead animal will be his.
