In context
35If a man’s ox injures a neighbor’s ox and it dies, they must sell the live ox and divide the price, and also divide the dead animal. 36But if it is known that the ox has had the habit of goring, and its owner has not restrained it, he must pay full compensation, ox for ox, and the dead animal will be his. 37If a man steals an ox or a sheep and slaughters it or sells it, he must repay five head of cattle for the ox, and four sheep for the sheep.
