Exodus 21:28-32

New King James Version

Animal Control Laws

²⁸ “If an ox gores a man or a woman to death, then ^(A)the ox shall surely be stoned, and its flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox shall be ^[a]acquitted. ²⁹ But if the ox ^[b]tended to thrust with its horn in times past, and it has been made known to his owner, and he has not kept it confined, so that it has killed a man or a woman, the ox shall be stoned and its owner also shall be put to death. ³⁰ If there is imposed on him a sum of money, then he shall pay ^(B)to redeem his life, whatever is imposed on him. ³¹ Whether it has gored a son or gored a daughter, according to this judgment it shall be done to him. ³² If the ox gores a male or female servant, he shall give to their master ^(C)thirty shekels of silver, and the ^(D)ox shall be stoned.
