“If a man opens a pit, or if a man digs a pit and doesn’t cover it, and a bull or a donkey falls into it,
Private to you. Anything you write on this verse, here or while reading, shows up here and in My study.
“If a man opens a pit, or if a man digs a pit and doesn’t cover it, and a bull or a donkey falls into it,
If a man opens or digs a pit and fails to cover it, and an ox or a donkey falls into it,
And if a man shall open a pit, or if a man shall dig a pit, and not cover it, and an ox or an ass fall therein;
And if a man shall open a pit, or if a man shall dig a pit and not cover it, and an ox or an ass fall therein,
If a man makes a hole in the earth without covering it up, and an ox or an ass dropping into it comes to its death;
Tap a word to see what it means and everywhere else it's used.
Matthew Henry · Verses 22–36
The cases here mentioned give rules of justice then, and still in use, for deciding similar matters. We are taught by these laws, that we must be very careful to do no wrong, either directly or indirectly. If we have done wrong, we must be very willing to make it good, and be desirous that nobody may lose by us.
