If The Consecrated Bull Gored A Wife To Death

[Perspectivo]

Here's an ancient legal conundrum. Enjoy.

A man vowed his bull to God, and afterwards the bull gored his wife to death. Who gets the bull, the stones or the altar?

If an ox gores someone to death, the ox shall surely be stoned to death, Exodus 21:28.

If a man vows a vow ...he must not break his word, but fulfill his vow, Numbers 30:2.

To further complicate the matter, three men claim to have seen her attempt to mate with the bull before it gored her to death. This violation mandates that both her and the bull be stoned to death, for it is written: if a woman kneels before an animal to mate with it, they shall surely be put to death, Leviticus 20:16.

The husband says his wife vowed not to go near the bull lest she defile it, but he forgot what she vowed as her penalty.

Who gets the bull, the stones or the altar, and is the husband responsible for forgetting his wife's vow, Numbers 30:10-16?

Stones, because you don't have the altar.
