A Jewish ox gores a consecrated ox. What is the Jewish owner's liability?
Halachah 1: The Torah uses 'his neighbor's ox' to define the liability — consecrated property is not 'a neighbor's ox,' so no liability applies.
Question 2
A gentile's ox gores a Jewish ox. How much does the gentile pay?
Halachah 4: Gentile law imposes full liability for ox damage, so a gentile's ox always pays full damages to the Jewish ox owner.
Question 3
Before a trial, a tam ox that caused damage is sold by its owner. Can the victim collect from the new owner?
Halachah 5: Before a trial is concluded, a tam ox can be sold, but the victim retains the right to collect half-damages from the ox in the new owner's possession.
Question 4
From what property do courts collect damages when the damager dies?
Halachah 10: Torah law only allows collection from the heirs' landed property — not movable property (though Geonim later extended this).
Question 5
When an ox that caused damage is a mu'ad, and the owner consecrates it before trial, what happens?
Halachah 7-8: For a mu'ad ox, consecration after causing damage is ineffective — the established liability cannot be evaded this way, regardless of whether trial occurred.
