Variantly: "If the ox gore a man-servant or a maid-servant": Scripture speaks of a Canaanite (man-servant or maid-servant). But perhaps it speaks of an Israelite? (This cannot be, for) "silver, thirty shekels, shall he give to his master" indicates that a Canaanite is intended, (for if it were an Israelite, the money would go to his heirs.)
