The owner of the ox may redeem his life by paying whatever is demanded.“ The same regulation applies if the ox gores a boy or a girl.But if the ox gores a slave, either male or female, the animal’s owner must pay the slave’s owner thirty silver coins, and the ox must be stoned.“ Suppose someone digs or uncovers a pit and fails to cover it, and then an ox or a donkey falls into it.The owner of the pit must pay full compensation to the owner of the animal, but then he gets to keep the dead animal.“ If 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.

Temptations are inevitable, but what sorrow awaits the person who does the tempting.
