28. When an ox gores a man or a woman to death, the ox must be stoned; its meat may not be eaten. The owner of the ox, however, shall be free of blame.
29. But if an ox was previously in the habit of goring people and its owner, though warned, would not watch it; should it then kill a man or a woman, not only must the ox be stoned, but its owner also must be put to death.
30. If, however, a fine is imposed on him, he must pay in ransom for his life whatever amount is imposed on him.
31. This ordinance applies if it is a boy or a girl that the ox gores.
