sheep. or, goat. He shall. There is a smaller compensation required in other things and also a disproportion between an ox and a sheep.

The reason of the latter seems to be, as it is explained by Bishop Patrick, that an ox was of greater value, and more useful for the purposes of husbandry. Le 6:1-6 Nu 5:7 2Sa 12:6 Pr 6:31 Lu 19:8
