Chapter 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.31 Whether he have gored a son, or have gored a daughter, according to this judgment shall it be done unto him.32 If 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.33 And 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;34 The owner of the pit shall make it good, and give money unto the owner of them; and the dead beast shall be his.35 And 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.36 Or 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.}

Chapter 22 _{1 If a man shall steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it; he shall restore five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep.2 If a thief be found breaking up, and be smitten that he die, there shall no blood be shed for him.3 If the sun be risen upon him, there shall be blood shed for him; for he should make full restitution; if he have nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.4 If the theft be certainly found in his hand alive, whether it be ox, or ass, or sheep; he shall restore double.5 If a man shall cause a field or vineyard to be eaten, and shall put in his beast, and shall feed in another man's field; of the best of his own field, and of the best of his own vineyard, shall he make restitution.6 If fire break out, and catch in thorns, so that the stacks of corn, or the standing corn, or the field, be consumed therewith; he that kindled the fire shall surely make restitution.7 If a man shall deliver unto his neighbour money or stuff to keep, and it be stolen out of the man's house; if the thief be found, let him pay double.8 If the thief be not found, then the master of the house shall be brought unto the judges, to see whether he have put his hand unto his neighbour's goods.9 For all manner of trespass, whether it be for ox, for ass, for sheep, for raiment, or for any manner of lost thing, which another challengeth to be his, the cause of both parties shall come before the judges; and whom the judges shall condemn, he shall pay double unto his neighbour.10 If a man deliver unto his neighbour an ass, or an ox, or a sheep, or any beast, to keep; and it die, or be hurt, or driven away, no man seeing it:11 Then shall an oath of the LORD be between them both, that he hath not put his hand unto his neighbour's goods; and the owner of it shall accept thereof, and he shall not make it good.12 And if it be stolen from him, he shall make restitution unto the owner thereof.13 If it be torn in pieces, then let him bring it for witness, and he shall not make good that which was torn.}
