Exodus 21:30-32
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
30 If, however, a fine is imposed on him, he must pay in ransom[a] 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. 32 But if it is a male or a female slave that it gores, he must pay the owner of the slave thirty shekels of silver, and the ox must be stoned.
