Exodus 21:30

If there be laid on him a sum of money, then he shall give for the ransom of his life whatsoever is laid upon him.

Cross-reference

Exodus 30:12 uses the same Hebrew word 'kofer' (ransom) for the census tax, linking the concept of monetary redemption for life.

Numbers 35:31-33 forbids ransom for deliberate murder, contrasting with this verse where ransom is permitted for negligent homicide.
