The owner of the pit shall make it good, etc.] 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.
