021:029 But if the bull had a habit of goring in the past, and it
has been testified to its owner, and he has not kept it in,
but it has killed a man or a woman, the bull shall be stoned,
and its owner shall also be put to death.
021:030 If a ransom is laid on him, then he shall give for the redemption
of his life whatever is laid on him.
021:031 Whether it has gored a son or has gored a daughter,
according to this judgment it shall be done to him.
021:032 If the bull gores a male servant or a female servant,
thirty shekels of silver shall be given to their master,
and the ox shall be stoned.
021:033 "If a man opens a pit, or if a man digs a pit and doesn't cover it,
and a bull or a donkey falls into it,
021:034 the owner of the pit shall make it good. He shall give money
to its owner, and the dead animal shall be his.
021:035 "If one man's bull injures another's, so that it dies,
then they shall sell the live bull, and divide its price;
and they shall also divide the dead animal.
021:036 Or if it is known that the bull was in the habit of goring
in the past, and its owner has not kept it in, he shall surely
pay bull for bull, and the dead animal shall be his own.
022:001 "If a man steals an ox or a sheep, and kills it, or sells it;
he shall pay five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep.
022:002 If the thief is found breaking in, and is struck so that he dies,
there shall be no guilt of bloodshed for him.
022:003 If the sun has risen on him, there shall be guilt of bloodshed
for him; he shall make restitution. If he has nothing,
then he shall be sold for his theft.
022:004 If the stolen property is found in his hand alive, whether it
is ox, donkey, or sheep, he shall pay double.
022:005 "If a man causes a field or vineyard to be eaten, and lets
his animal loose, and it grazes in another man's field,
he shall make restitution from the best of his own field,
and from the best of his own vineyard.
022:006 "If fire breaks out, and catches in thorns so that the shocks
of grain, or the standing grain, or the field are consumed;
he who kindled the fire shall surely make restitution.
022:007 "If a man delivers to his neighbor money or stuff to keep,
and it is stolen out of the man's house; if the thief is found,
he shall pay double.
022:008 If the thief isn't found, then the master of the house shall
come near to God, to find out if he hasn't put his hand
to his neighbor's goods.
022:009 For every matter of trespass, whether it be for ox, for donkey,
for sheep, for clothing, or for any kind of lost thing,
about which one says, 'This is mine,' the cause of both parties
shall come before God. He whom God condemns shall pay double
to his neighbor.
