- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Si bos cornu percusserit virum aut mulierem, et mortui fuerint, lapidibus obruetur : et non comedentur carnes ejus, dominus quoque bovis innocens erit.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- Ἐὰν δὲ κερατίσῃ ταῦρος ἄνδρα ἢ γυναῖκα, καὶ ἀποθάνῃ, λίθοις λιθοβοληθήσεται ὁ ταῦρος, καὶ οὐ βρωθήσεται τὰ κρέα αὐτοῦ· ὁ δὲ κύριος τοῦ ταύρου ἀθῷος ἔσται.
- Hebrew (WLC)

Haydock's commentary
Stoned, that he may do no more harm, and that the owner may be punished at least by this loss. (Haydock)
Sentence was passed by the 23 judges. By the Roman law, the animal which struck a man was forfeited to him (Calmet); and its master had to make good all damages. ( Justinian iv. 9.)
