Gill's Notes on the Bible
The owner of the pit shall make it good,.... Repair the loss of the ox or ass:
and give the money unto the owner of them: the price of them, what they are worth: the Targum of Jonathan is,
"the owner of the pit shall pay the silver, he shall return to its owner the price of the ox or ass:''
and the dead beast shall be his; either the owner of the pit; who pays the full value for the ox or ass killed, which seems but reasonable; or
"the injured person as Jarchi, for he says, they reckon or estimate the carcass, and he takes it for the price;''
that is, for part of the price it is valued at.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
