Exodus 21:28-36 - The Responsibility Of Owners

28 If an ox gore a man or a woman that they die, then the ox shall be stoned, and his flesh shall not be eaten: and his master shall go quit. 29 If the ox were wont to run at men in time past and it hath been told his master, and he hath not kept him, but that he hath killed a man or a woman: then the ox shall be stoned and his master shall die also. 30 If he be set to a sum of money, then he shall give for the deliverance of his life, according to all that is put unto him. 31 And whether he hath gored a son or a daughter, he shall be served after the same manner. 32 But if it be a servant or a maid that the ox hath gored, then he shall give unto their master the sum of thirty sicles, and the ox shall be stoned.

33 "If a man open a well or dig a pit and cover it not, but that an ox or an ass fall therein, 34 the owner of the pit shall make it good and give money unto their master, and the dead beast shall be his.

35 If one man's ox hurt another's that he die: then they shall sell the live ox and divide the money, and the dead ox also they shall divide. 36 But and if it be known that the ox hath used to push in time's past, then because his master hath not kept him, he shall pay ox for ox, and the dead shall be his own."
