Bible Verses About Trespass: Of an ox

"If an ox gores a man or a woman to death, the ox is to be stoned and its flesh not eaten, but the owner of the ox will have no further liability.

However, if the ox was in the habit of goring in the past, and the owner was warned but did not confine it, so that it ended up killing a man or a woman; then the ox is to be stoned, and its owner too is to be put to death.

However, a ransom may be imposed on him; and the death penalty will be commuted if he pays the amount imposed.

If the ox gores a son or daughter, the same rule applies.

If the ox gores a male or female slave, its owner must give their master twelve ounces of silver; and the ox is to be stoned to death.

"If someone removes the cover from a cistern or digs one and fails to cover it, and an ox or donkey falls in,

the owner of the cistern must make good the loss by compensating the animal's owner; but the dead animal will be his.

"If one person's ox hurts another's, so that it dies, they are to sell the live ox and divide the revenue from the sale; and they are also to divide the dead animal.

But if it is known that the ox was in the habit of goring in the past, and the owner did not confine it; he must pay ox for ox, but the dead animal will be his.
