Exodus 21:33-36 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

33. “A man might take the cover off a pit. Or he might dig one and not cover it. Another man’s ox or donkey might come and fall into it.

34. The owner of the pit must pay the owner of the animal for his loss. The dead animal will belong to the one who pays.

35. “One man’s bull might kill another man’s bull. Then they must sell the bull that is alive. Both men get half of the money. And both men will also get half of the bull that was killed.

36. A man’s bull might have hurt other animals in the past. But the owner might not have kept it in a pen. Then that owner must pay bull for bull. And the dead animal is his.
