Tetapi jikalau lembu itu terkenal telah sering menanduk sejak dahulu, dan walaupun demikian pemiliknya tidak mau menjaganya, maka ia harus membayar ganti kerugian sepenuhnya: lembu ganti lembu, tetapi binatang yang mati itu menjadi kepunyaannya."
Tetapi jikalau dahulupun nyatalah lembu itu memang nakal dan tiada ditunggu oleh orang yang empunya dia, maka tak dapat tiada digantinya dengan sempurnanya, seekor lembu akan ganti seekor lembu, tetapi yang mati itu menjadi dia punya.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Or if it be known that the ox hath used to push in time past,.... If it is a plain case, and a thing well known in the neighbourhood, and there are witnesses enough to testify it, that it has yesterday, and for two or three days running, pushed with his horns men and cattle, as they have come in his way, :-
and his owner hath not kept him in; took no care to prevent his doing mischief by putting him into a barn or out house, or into an enclosure, where he could do no damage to any:
he shall surely pay ox for ox; that is, he shall give as good an ox to him, whose ox has been killed by his, as that was, or pay him the full worth and value of it: and the dead shall be his own; shall not be divided as in the preceding case, but shall be the proprietor's wholly, that is, the sufferer's; because the owner of the vicious ox took no care of him, though it was well known he was mischievous, for which negligence he was punished this way.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The dead ox in this case, as well as in the preceding one, must have been worth no more than the price of the hide, as the flesh could not be eaten. See Leviticus 17:1-6.
