Exodus 21:22-36

²² "When there's a fight and in the fight a pregnant woman is hit so that she miscarries but is not otherwise hurt, the one responsible has to pay whatever the husband demands in compensation. ²³ But if there is further damage, then you must give life for life ²⁴ - eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, ²⁵ burn for burn, wound for wound, bruise for bruise.

Laws concerning Responsibility of Owners

²⁶ "If a slave owner hits the eye of a slave or handmaid and ruins it, the owner must let the slave go free because of the eye. ²⁷ If the owner knocks out the tooth of the male or female slave, the slave must be released and go free because of the tooth. ²⁸ "If an ox gores a man or a woman to death, the ox must be stoned. The meat cannot be eaten but the owner of the ox is in the clear. ²⁹ But if the ox has a history of goring and the owner knew it and did nothing to guard against it, then if the ox kills a man or a woman, the ox is to be stoned and the owner given the death penalty. ³⁰ If a ransom is agreed upon instead of death, he must pay it in full as a redemption for his life. ³¹ If a son or daughter is gored, the same judgment holds. ³² If it is a slave or a handmaid the ox gores, thirty shekels of silver is to be paid to the owner and the ox stoned. ³³ "If someone uncovers a cistern or digs a pit and leaves it open and an ox or donkey falls into it, ³⁴ the owner of the pit must pay whatever the animal is worth to its owner but can keep the dead animal. ³⁵ "If someone's ox injures a neighbor's ox and the ox dies, they must sell the live ox and split the price; they must also split the dead animal. ³⁶ But if the ox had a history of goring and the owner knew it and did nothing to guard against it, the owner must pay an ox for an ox but can keep the dead animal.
