Responsibility for loss

28And if an ox gores a man or a woman and he dies, the ox shall surely be stoned, and its flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox is clear.

29But if the ox was accustomed to gore from yesterday and the day before, and its owner had been warned but did not keep it in, and it kills a man or a woman, the ox shall be stoned, and its owner also shall be put to death.

30If a ransom is imposed on him, then he shall give the redemption price for his life according to all that is imposed on him.

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

32If the ox gores a male servant or a female servant, he shall give thirty shekels of silver to his master, and the ox shall be stoned.

33And 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,

34The owner of the pit shall make restitution; he shall pay money to its owner, and the dead animal shall be his.

35And if one man's ox strikes his neighbor's ox and it dies, then they shall sell the live ox and divide its price, and they shall also divide the dead one.

36Or if it was known that the ox was accustomed to gore from yesterday and the day before, and its owner did not keep it in, he must surely pay ox for ox, and the dead animal will be his.

37If a man steals an ox or a sheep and slaughters it or sells it, he shall repay five cattle for the ox and four sheep for the sheep.
