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;
Si alguien abre un pozo o cava un pozo y no lo tapa, y un buey o un burro cae en él,
La persona que deja un pozo abierto sin taparlo es responsable si un animal cae en él.
📚 Contexto Histórico
This verse is part of the Mosaic Law given to the Israelites through Moses on Mount Sinai, specifically in the Covenant Code that outlined civil regulations for their new society. In ancient Near Eastern cultures, people frequently dug pits for water collection or storage, and neglecting to cover them could result in accidents involving valuable livestock like oxen or donkeys, which were essential for agriculture and daily life. These laws emphasized personal accountability to maintain order and protect community resources.
