A mu'ad ox gores a free woman and she miscarries. Does the owner pay for the lost fetus?
Halachah 2: Even when the ox is mu'ad, the owner does not pay for a fetus caused by ox damage to a free woman — ox liability does not extend to fetal compensation.
Question 2
A mu'ad ox gores a maidservant and causes her to miscarry. Does the owner pay for the fetus?
Halachah 3: A maidservant's fetus has monetary value as property — so the ox owner does pay for the miscarriage as a form of property damage.
Question 3
To whom is the atonement fine paid when a man is killed by a mu'ad ox?
Halachah 1-2: The atonement fine is paid to the heirs of the deceased — it is a monetary payment that substitutes for the owner's spiritual liability.
Question 4
After a tam ox kills a person and is sentenced to death, its owner consecrates it. What happens?
Halachah 8: Once an ox is sentenced to death for killing a human, any subsequent consecration is void — the sentence creates an absolute encumbrance.
Question 5
A sentenced ox becomes mixed with a herd. What happens to the entire herd?
Halachah 9: If a sentenced ox becomes intermingled with other oxen, none of them are executed — execution requires identifying the specific animal condemned by the court.
