If instead a payment is demanded of him, he may redeem his life by paying whatever is demanded.
In context
28If an ox gores a man or a woman to death, the ox must be stoned, and its meat must not be eaten; but the owner of the ox is not liable. 29But if the ox has had the habit of goring, and its owner has been warned but has not restrained it, and it kills a man or a woman, the ox must be stoned, and its owner too must be put to death. 30If instead a payment is demanded of him, he may redeem his life by paying whatever is demanded. 31Whether it gores a son or a daughter, the same law applies. 32If the ox gores a male or female servant, the owner must pay the master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox must be stoned.
