9092. 'They shall sell the living ox' means that the affection with the one which has injured the affection with the other shall be alienated. This is clear from the meaning of 'selling' as alienating, dealt with in 4098, 4752, 4758, 5886; and from the meaning of 'the living ox' as the affection with the one truth which has injured the affection with the other truth, dealt with above in 9090.
