Question

Where is situated this quotation in the Bible,plse?

it's in book of Isaie..i forgot!

Answer 1

Nitai Ki jai !

Answer 2

I am unable to find anything even close to that in my Bible, concordance or reference books. About the only thing I can think of is that if you killed a person ox, you had to pay him the cost to replace it because that ox often represented their livelihood. But as far as killing an ox being the SAME as killing a man, there is no scripture I can find that says that.

Answer 3

If an ox was killed in the Old Testament, you took away a man's livelihood, and probably his only means of keeping him fed.

But, this is as close as the scriptures get for what you are saying:

Answer 4

Isaiah 66:3 He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, as if he cut off a dog's neck; he that offereth an oblation, as if he offered swine's blood; he that burneth incense, as if he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations.

This verse is talking about he that does what he feels will make him righteous by his own actions, rather what God says to do, even if they are the same actions.

Answer 5

in between the first page and the last and it means that if you kill an ox you have to kill a man and then you are free...so if ever by mistake you kill an ox you have to kill someone else to balance

Answer 6

Read the whole scripture and maybe pray before you open your bible that you may be able to read and understand. Then start from the beginning of the story!

Answer 7

I've never heard of it, but it probably means, if you take away the mans livelyhood, you are also killing him.
