Exodus 21:30

If there be laid on him a sum of money, then he shall give for the ransom of his life whatsoever is laid upon him.

If there be laid {H7896} on him a sum of money {H3724}, then he shall give {H5414} for the ransom {H6306} of his life {H5315} whatsoever is laid {H7896} upon him.

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

If payment is demanded of him instead, he may redeem his life by paying the full amount demanded of him.

If there be laid on him a ransom, then he shall give for the redemption of his life whatsoever is laid upon him.
