Punishment of the Owner of an Ox that Killed
Question
Hello,
In Parashat Mishpatim, Exodus 21:29, it is stated that the owner of an ox that killed is punished with death by the hands of Heaven. In verse 30, it is mentioned that he can pay a ransom to redeem himself. How do these things reconcile with each other?
Answer
Hello
The Gemara explains that if he does not pay the ransom, his punishment will be death by the hands of Heaven.
