Esodo 21:30 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 21:30

If there be laid on him a sum of money
By the decree of the judges, as Aben Ezra, or which the sanhedrim of Israel have laid upon him; if his sentence of death is commuted for a fine, with the consent of the relations of the deceased, who in such a case are willing to show mercy, and take a fine instead of the person's death; supposing it was through carelessness and negligence, and not with any ill design that he did not keep up his ox from doing damage, after he had notice:

then he shall give for the ransom of his life whatever, is laid upon
him;
whatever mulct or fine he is amerced with by the court, instead of the sentence of death first pronounced. Of this ransom Maimonides F17 thus writes:

``the ransom is according as the judges consider what is the price (or value) of him that is slain; (i.e. according to his rank, whether a noble or common man, a free man or a servant) all is according to the estimation of him that is slain.--To whom do they give the ransom? to the heirs of the slain; and if a woman is killed, the ransom is given to the heirs of her father's (family), and not to her husband.''

Esodo 21:30 In-Context

28 E quando un bue avrà cozzato un uomo o una donna, sì che ne muoia, del tutto sia quel bue lapidato, e non mangisene la carne; e il padrone del bue sia assolto.
29 Ma se il bue per addietro è stato uso di cozzare, e ciò è stato protestato al padron di esso, ed egli non l’ha guardato, e il bue ha ucciso un uomo o una donna, sia il bue lapidato, e anche facciasi morire il padron di esso.
30 Se gli è imposto alcun prezzo di riscatto, paghi il riscatto della sua vita, interamente come gli sarà imposto.
31 Se il bue cozza un figliuolo o una figliuola, facciaglisi secondo questa legge.
32 Se il bue cozza un servo o una serva, paghi il padron del bue trenta sicli di argento al padrone di esso, e sia lapidato il bue.
