Exodus 21:34

Context
21:34 the owner of the pit must repay 1  the loss. He must give money 2  to its owner, and the dead animal 3  will become his.

1 tn The verb is a Piel imperfect from שָׁלַם (shalam); it has the idea of making payment in full, making recompense, repaying. These imperfects could be given a future tense translation as imperfects of instruction, but in the property cases an obligatory imperfect fits better – this is what he is bound or obliged to do – what he must do.

2 tn Heb “silver.”

3 tn Here the term “animal” has been supplied.
