27 And if he [a]knocks out a tooth of his male or female slave, he shall let [b]the slave go free on account of the tooth.

28 “Now if an ox gores a man or a woman [c]to death, (A)the ox shall certainly 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.
