SEV Biblia, Chapter 21:28
Si un buey acorneare hombre o mujer, y a causa de ello muriere, el buey será apedreado, y no se comerá su carne; mas el dueño del buey será absuelto.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Exodus 21:28
Verse 28. If an ox gore a man] It is more likely that a bull is here intended, as the word signifies both, see chap. xxii. 1; and the Septuagint translate the rw shor of the original by taurov, a bull. Mischief of this kind was provided against by most nations. It appears that the Romans twisted hay about the horns of their dangerous cattle, that people seeing it might shun them; hence that saying of Horace. Sat., lib. i., sat. 4, ver. x24: Faenum habet in cornu, longe fuge. "He has hay on his horns; fly for life!" The laws of the twelve tables ordered, That the owner of the beast should pay for what damages he committed, or deliver him to the person injured. See the note on "chap. xxii. 1". His flesh shall not be eaten] This served to keep up a due detestation of murder, whether committed by man or beast; and at the same time punished the man as far as possible, by the total loss of the beast.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 22-36 - The cases here mentioned give rules of justice then, and still in use for deciding similar matters. We are taught by these laws, that we mus be very careful to do no wrong, either directly or indirectly. If we have done wrong, we must be very willing to make it good, and be desirous that nobody may lose by us __________________________________________________________________
