Exodus 21:28-32
New American Standard Bible
28 “Now if an ox gores a man or a woman [a]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. 30 If a ransom is [b]demanded of him, then he shall give for the redemption of his life whatever is [c]demanded of him. 31 Whether it gores a son or [d]a daughter, it shall be done to him according to [e]the same rule. 32 If the ox gores a male or female slave, [f]the owner shall give his or her master [g](B)thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned.

28 “When an ox gores a man or a woman to death, the ox shall be stoned, and its flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox shall be clear. 29 But if the ox has been accustomed to gore in the past, and its owner has been warned but has not kept it in, and it kills a man or a woman, the ox shall be stoned, and its owner also shall be put to death. 30 If a ransom is laid on him, then he shall give for the redemption of his life whatever is laid upon him. 31 If it gores a man’s son or daughter, he shall be dealt with according to this same rule. 32 If the ox gores a slave, male or female, the owner shall give to their master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned.
