Mishnayos Bava Kamma Perek 4 Mishnah 5

בבא קמא פרק ד׳ משנה ה׳

5

With regard to an ox that gored a person and the person died, if the ox was forewarned its owner pays ransom, but if it was innocuous he is exempt from paying the ransom. And both this forewarned ox and that innocuous ox are liable to be put to death for killing a person. And the same halakha applies in a case where the animal killed a boy and the same applies in a case where it killed a girl. If the ox gored and killed a Canaanite slave or a Canaanite maidservant, its owner gives the victim’s master thirty sela, whether he was a slave worth one hundred maneh, i.e., one hundred silver dinars, or worth only one dinar.

שׁוֹר שֶׁנָּגַח אֶת הָאָדָם וָמֵת, מוּעָד, מְשַׁלֵּם כֹּפֶר, וְתָם, פָּטוּר מִן הַכֹּפֶר. וְזֶה וָזֶה חַיָּבִים מִיתָה. וְכֵן בְּבֵן וְכֵן בְּבַת. נָגַח עֶבֶד אוֹ אָמָה, נוֹתֵן שְׁלשִׁים סְלָעִים, בֵּין שֶׁהוּא יָפֶה מָנֶה וּבֵין שֶׁאֵינוֹ יָפֶה אֶלָּא דִּינָר אֶחָד:

מועד משלם כופר – and even though that in the first that he (i.e., the ox) gored, we kill it, we find him [now] to be forewarned, as in the example of one that killed three idolaters; alternatively, that it killed three Israelites, it is considered “torn” (as by another animal), for something that is “torn”, we don’t kill it as a man put to death is considered as dead; alternatively, someone who is [sentenced to be] killed and flees to the lake after they testified against him.

וכן בבן וכן בבת – small male child and small female child, he is liable for stoning and ransom like for adults.

מועד משלם כופר. ואע״ג דבקמא דנגח קטלינן ליה, אשכחינן מועד, כגון שהרג שלשה נכרים. אי נמי, שהרג שלשה ישראלים טריפה. דאטריפה לא קטלינן ליה, דגברא קטילא קטיל. אי נמי, דקטיל וערק לאגמא לאחר שהעידו בו:

וכן בבן וכן בבת. תינוק ותינוקת. חייב עליהן סקילה וכופר כגדולים:
