Bava Kamma 9 - Paying for Damages with Movable Items (Torts)
When the verse states, "...he [the owner of the pit] shall return money...", it means to include an article worth money as an acceptable form of payment, and even something such as bran. There are three ways to understand this:
1. One can pay with bran only if he has no money and no land;
2. One can pay with bran only if he doesn't have money;
3. One can pay with bran even if he has money, and if he has no money or movables left, then he needs to pay with superior land.
