1. Exodus 21:28–36

   If an ox gores a man or woman to death, the ox must surely be stoned, and its meat must not be eaten. But the owner of the ox shall not be held responsible.

   ›Commentary on Exodus 21:28–362 voices

   “If an ox gore a man or a woman, that they die,....

   “If an ox gore a man - It is more likely that a bull is here intended, as the word signifies both, see Exo 22:1; and the Septuagint translate the שור shor of the original by ταυρος, a bull. Mischief of this kind was provided against by most nations. It appears that the Romans twisted hay about the horns of their dangerous cattle, that people seeing it might shun them; hence that saying of Horace. Sat., lib. i., sat.

2. Exodus 22:1–10

   “If a man steals an ox or a sheep and slaughters or sells it, he must repay five oxen for an ox and four sheep for a sheep.

   ›Commentary on Exodus 22:1–102 voices

   “Some think that the precepts of the Old Testament are stricter than those of the New; but these are certainly deceived by careless consideration. For in the Old Testament, not avarice but robbery is punished. There, property unjustly taken is punished by fourfold restitution. But here this rich man is not blamed for taking what belonged to others, but for not giving what was his own. Nor is it said that he oppressed anyone by violence, but that he exalted himself in the things he had received.

3. Exodus 23:12

   For six days you are to do your work, but on the seventh day you must cease, so that your ox and your donkey may rest and the son of your maidservant may be refreshed, as well as the foreign resident.

   ›Commentary on Exodus 23:122 voices

   “Six days thou shalt do thy work,....

   “Six days thou shalt do thy work - Though they were thus bound to keep the sabbatical year, yet they must not neglect the seventh day’s rest or weekly Sabbath; for that was of perpetual obligation, and was paramount to all others. That the sanctification of the Sabbath was of great consequence in the sight of God, we may learn from the various repetitions of this law; and we may observe that it has still for its object, not only the benefit of the soul, but the health and comfort of the body also. Doth God care for oxen?

    “On the first day of the seventh month, you are to hold a sacred assembly, and you must not do any regular work. This will be a day for you to sound the trumpets.

    ›Commentary on Numbers 29:12 voices

    After these, in the seventh month other festivals are celebrated. "On the first day of the month" there is the new moon of trumpets, just as it says in the psalm, "Play the trumpet at the beginning of the month." But "on the tenth day of the seventh month" there is the festival of atonement. Only "on this day" is the high priest dressed with all the pontifical garments. Then he is dressed in "the manifestation and truth." Then he goes into that inaccessible place where he can approach only "once a year," that is, into "the Holy of Holies."

    “And in the seventh month,.... The month Tisri, as the Targum of Jonathan, which answers to part of our September and October; a month famous for days to be religiously observed, having more of them in it than any other month in the year: on the first day of the month, ye shall have a holy convocation; see Lev 23:24, ye shall do no servile work; therefore, in the place referred to, is called a sabbath: it is a day of blowing the trumpets unto you; of which; see Gill on Lev 23:24.

    “There it is perhaps guessing at the disparity between the animals. It is at the same time showing clearly that we must not wrong any of those from other races by bringing them under the same yoke when we have nothing against them apart from their foreignness, for which they are not responsible, which is not an immoral trait and does not spring from one.

    ›Commentary on 1 Samuel 14:141 voice

    “This is called the first plague, because the saints are described as striking the wicked even afterward, at the last judgment. Hence Paul also rouses the Corinthians, saying: "Do you not know that we shall judge angels?" (1 Cor. 6:3). Hence the Psalmist, prophesying, says: "The saints shall exult in glory, they shall rejoice upon their beds, the praises of God in their throats, to execute vengeance upon the nations, rebukes among the peoples" (Ps. 149:5–6).
