Exegesis
The substitution formula shor tachat hashor {שׁוֹר תַּחַת הַשּׁוֹר | šôr ṭaḥaṯ ha-šôr} ‘bull for bull’ conveys direct equivalence, and vehamet yihyeh lo {וְהַמֵּת יִהְיֶה לוֹ | wᵉ-hammēt yihyēh lōʼ} finalizes the transfer of the carcass to the owner. The English rendering preserves the Hebrew’s legal precision in conditional and substitutive structure.
