Exodus 21:29-31
New English Translation

29 But if the ox had the habit of goring, and its owner was warned[a] but he did not take the necessary precautions,[b] and then it killed a man or a woman, the ox must be stoned and the man must be put to death. 30 If a ransom is set for him,[c] then he must pay the redemption for his life according to whatever amount was set for him. 31 If the ox[d] gores a son or a daughter, the owner[e] will be dealt with according to this rule.[f]
