Kill the Ox Kill the Owner of the Ox The price of the life of male or female slave is 12 ounces of silver
If an ox gores a man or a woman to death, •The ox shall surely be stoned to death •And its flesh shall not be eaten; •But the owner of the ox shall go unpunished.
If, however, an ox was previously in the habit of goring and its owner has been warned, yet he does not confine it and it kills a man or a woman, •The ox shall be stoned to death •And its owner also shall be put to death.
If the ox gores a male or female slave, •The owner shall give his or her master thirty shekels of silver, •And the ox shall be stoned to death.
Thirty shekels of silver equal about 12 ounces or 342 grams in weight This means that the price of the life of male or female slave is 12 ounces of silver! ========= The three verses of the Law of the Ox in different versions of the Bible
Exodus 21:28, 29 and 32
New American Standard Bible
28] "If an ox gores a man or a woman to death, the ox shall surely be stoned and its flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox shall go unpunished. 29] "If, however, an ox was previously in the habit of goring and its owner has been warned, yet he does not confine it and it kills a man or a woman, the ox shall be stoned and its owner also shall be put to death. 32] "If the ox gores a male or female slave, the owner shall give his or her master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned.
King James Version
28] If an ox gores a man or a woman that they die: then the ox shall be surely stoned, and his flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox shall be quit. 29] But if the ox were wont to push with his horn in time past, and it hath been testified to his owner, and he hath not kept him in, but that he hath killed a man or a woman; the ox shall be stoned, and his owner also shall be put to death. 32] If the ox shall push a manservant or a maidservant; he shall give unto their master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned. =========
The law of the Ox (Bull) in the Noble Quran
There is no specific Law for the Ox and/or the Owner of the Ox in the Noble Quran!
However, the two verses 2:178-179 give a general Law in cases of murder
Verse 2:178 says: O you who believe, the Law of retaliation is prescribed for you on equal terms, regarding the slain, both in the attributes [of the one slain] and in the action involved; In the matter of the murdered ones; a free man, is killed, for a free man, and a slave for a slave, and a female for a female a life for a life The freeman for the freeman, a freeman who premeditatedly kills another freeman And the slave for the slave, a slave who premeditatedly kills another, And the female for the female, a female who premeditatedly kills another A life for a life, this is the Law And for him who is forgiven somewhat by his brother, Whoever forgives the killing and takes instead blood money, Allah commands the person who asks for blood money to claim this money according to practiced usage: three years if it is full blood money, two years if it is half of the blood money, or one year if it is a third (and payment unto him) The person who is required to pay blood money is commanded to give the custodians of the murdered person what is due to them (in kindness) without the need to go to court or making it difficult for them. This pardon is alleviation, appeasement and a mercy from your Lord towards the killer such that he is not killed. He who transgresses after this, after taking the blood money and kills the murderer will have a painful doom; he shall be killed and will not be forgiven or allowed to pay blood money. And verse 2:179 says: And there is a life for you in the law of retaliation a continuation of existence and a lesson, O men of understanding, those who possess sound minds among people, that you may ward off (evil)) that you may ward off killing one another for fear of retaliation
Chapter 2: AL-BAQARA 178 and 179
?178? o ye who believe! the law of retaliation (equality) is prescribed to you in cases of murder: the free for the free, the slave for the slave, the woman for the woman. but if any remissions are made by the brother of the slain, then grant any reasonable demand, and compensate him with handsome gratitude, this is a concession and a mercy from your lord. after this whoever exceeds the limits shall be in grave penalty. ?179? in the law of retaliation (equality) there is (saving of) life to you, o ye men of understanding; that ye may restrain yourselves.
---------------------------------------------------- What if the Quran was the Book which commands to kill 1) the Uncircumcised, 2) who curses his parents, 3) the gay, 4) the Zoosexual and the Beast, 5) who works in the Sabbath! 6) Your brother, your son, etc. if they try to turn you away from the LORD and 7) all who live in that town, 8) the prophet and 9) all the Midianites, men, women and boys and 10) the Ox, and the owner. What if the Quran says that the Price of the Life of a human being is 12 Ounces of Silver? What the Western Media would have said? What names they have given the Quran in such case? =========
Back to the main issue of my series of articles; this is my question to you smart readers: "Is the Quran quoted from the Bible?"
Well with the power of the Law of Attraction you can attract what you really want into your life.
What is the difference between people who seem to have it all and people who seem to have little? The difference is not fate or coincidence. The difference is the way people think about whatever it is that they are thinking and feeling. The Law of Attraction is responding to feelings and thoughts. Thoughts are energy, thoughts make us have feelings and emotions. This is an ancient knowledge and through the ?Secret? DVD and other publications on the Law of Attraction it has become public knowledge now. So many people are able because of this to make big changes in their lives. It is a powerful knowledge that you can use to turn things around completely.
Here is how you can get started today to attract what you want into in your life:
1. Make a list of all the things you would like to attract into your life. Put the most important one at the top of your list.
2. Now you have to understand that you have to do some mind work. You know that
Whatever you have right now in your life if you wanted it or not you have attracted to you by the way you think and feel. You emotion play a big role in this.
If you do not like what you are attracting simply change the way you are thinking!
This may sound easy enough but it is a process, it does not happen over night and you have to become involved in making your mind over and in changing your thought patterns. To help you along with this you can start meditations daily. You may find this difficult at first if you are new to meditations. If you continue however you will soon notice a difference in the way you are feeling. Meditations will help you are great deal to become a person that is able to be in harmony with cosmic laws. Choose this special time of the day when things are quiet around you, maybe late in the evening or early in the morning what ever may work best for you and your lifestyle. Sit quiet for at least 10 ? 15 minutes and try not to think about anything. If thoughts will enter into your mind just dismiss them gently. As longer you can do this as easier this kind of exercise will become for you. These sessions will be refreshing for you and soon you will be looking forward to meditate. You can make them even more pleasant with some instrumental back ground music and herbal candle lights.
3. Reprogram your subconscious mind! This is an important factor. We are only using a very small fraction of our mind consciously. Using the Law of Attraction successfully we need to make sure that we deliberately creating thought patterns that match with what we want.
Meditation is one tool that can help you to get started in attracting what you want into your life and become the person you always wanted to be inside and out.
There are no magical powers but knowing the secrets of the universe can make us deliberate creators of our own life experiences!
