21:28

Exodus 21:29

21:30

But if the ox were wont to push with his horn in time past, and it hath been testified to his owner, and he hath not kept him in, but that he hath killed a man or a woman; the ox shall be stoned, and his owner also shall be put to death.

But if the ox {H7794} were wont to push with his horn {H5056} in time past {H8543}{H8032}, and it hath been testified {H5749} to his owner {H1167}, and he hath not kept {H8104} him in, but that he hath killed {H4191} a man {H376} or a woman {H802}; the ox {H7794} shall be stoned {H5619}, and his owner {H1167} also shall be put to death {H4191}.

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.

But if the ox has a habit of goring, and its owner has been warned yet does not restrain it, and it kills a man or woman, then the ox must be stoned and its owner must also be put to death.

But if the ox was wont to gore in time past, and it hath been testified to its owner, and he hath not kept it in, but it hath killed a man or a woman; the ox shall be stoned, and its owner also shall be put to death.
