Exodus 21:36
Or if it be known that the ox hath used to push in time past, and his owner hath not kept him in; he shall surely pay ox for ox; and the dead shall be his own. Or if it be known that the ox hath used to push in time past, and his owner hath not kept him in; he shall surely pay ox for ox; and the dead shall be his own.
Exodus 21:36 belongs to the instruction given by God through Moses to guard against injustice and to guide people in their dealings with one another. It is part of the statutes and judgments that Christ gave to Israel, and those statutes and judgments were to be strictly obeyed. It stands within a code by which God guarded His people against injustice and guarded their interests. That code directed their dealings with one another by impartial and exalted requirements.
