Exodus 21:32-36
New American Standard Bible
33Now if someone opens a pit, or digs a pit and does not cover it, and an ox or a donkey falls into it,
34the owner of the pit shall make restitution; he shall give money to its owner, and the dead animal shall become his.
35And if someone’s ox injures another’s ox so that it dies, then they shall sell the live ox and divide its proceeds equally; and they shall also divide the dead ox.
36Or if it is known that the ox was previously in the habit of goring, yet its owner has not confined it, he must make restitution of ox for ox, and the dead animal shall become his.
King James Version
Chapter 21
32If the ox shall push a manservant or a maidservant; he shall give unto their master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned. 33And if a man shall open a pit, or if a man shall dig a pit, and not cover it, and an ox or an ass fall therein; 34The owner of the pit shall make it good, and give money unto the owner of them; and the dead beast shall be his. 35And if one man's ox hurt another's, that he die; then they shall sell the live ox, and divide the money of it; and the dead ox also they shall divide. 36Or if it be known that the ox hath used to push in time past, and his owner hath not kept him in; he shall surely pay ox for ox; and the dead shall be his own.Christian Standard Bible
33"When a man uncovers a pit or digs a pit, and does not cover it, and an ox or a donkey falls into it,
34the owner of the pit must give compensation; he must pay to its owner, but the dead animal will become his.
35"When a man's ox injures his neighbor's ox and it dies, they must sell the live ox and divide its proceeds; they must also divide the dead animal.
36If, however, it is known that the ox was in the habit of goring, yet its owner has not restrained it, he must compensate fully, ox for ox; the dead animal will become his.
New Living Translation
33Suppose someone digs or uncovers a pit and fails to cover it, and then an ox or a donkey falls into it.
34The owner of the pit must pay full compensation to the owner of the animal, but then he gets to keep the dead animal.
35If someone’s ox injures a neighbor’s ox and the injured ox dies, then the two owners must sell the live ox and divide the price equally between them. They must also divide the dead animal.
36But if the ox had a reputation for goring, yet its owner failed to keep it under control, he must pay full compensation — a live ox for the dead one — but he may keep the dead ox.
English Standard Version
33“When a man opens a pit, or when a man digs a pit and does not cover it, and an ox or a donkey falls into it,
