Exodus 21:33-Exodus 22:15 - Laws About Restitution
33 And if a man shall open a pit, or if a man shall dig a pit, and shall not cover it, and an ox fall there, or an ass: 34 The lord of the pit shall recompense; he shall turn back silver to his lord and the dead shall be to him.
35 And if a man's ox shall strike the ox of his friend and he died, and they shall sell the living ox and divide the silver, and also the dead ox they shall divide. 36 Or if this ox was known to push from yesterday, the third day, and his lord guarded him not; recompensing, he shall recompense, ox for ox, and the dead shall be to him.
1 If a man shall steal an ox or a sheep, and slaughter it or sell it, he shall recompense five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep. 2 If in breaking in a thief shall be found, and he was smitten and died, no bloods for him. 3 If the sun was risen upon him, bloods for him: recompensing, he shall recompense; if nothing to him, to be sold for his theft. 4 If finding, the theft shall be found in his hand, from an ox to an ass, to a sheep; living, he shall recompense two.
5 If a man shall feed a field or vineyard, and send forth the cattle and feed in another field: from the good of his field and from the good of his vineyard shall he recompense.
6 If fire shall come forth, and find thorns, and it consume the heap of sheaves or stalk of grain, or the field; he having kindled the fire, recompensing, he shall recompense.
7 If a man shall give to his friend silver or vessels to watch, and it was stolen out of the man's house, if the thief shall be found he shall recompense double. 8 If the thief shall not be found, and the lord of the house being brought to God, if he put not forth his hand upon his friend's goods. 9 For every word of transgression, for ox, for ass, for sheep, for garment, for every loss which if this say is his: to God the word of both of them shall come; whom God shall condemn, he shall recompense double to his friend.
10 If a man shall give to his friend an ass or ox or sheep or all cattle to watch; and it died, or being broken or being taken captive, not being seen: 11 An oath of Jehovah shall be between them both if he put not forth his hand to his friend's goods; and its lord shall take and he shall not recompense. 12 And if stealing, it shall be stolen from him, he shall recompense to his lord. 13 If tearing in pieces, it shall be torn in pieces, he shall bring it a witness; the torn in pieces he shall not recompense.
14 And if a man shall ask from his friend, and being broken or dying, its lord not with it, recompensing, he shall recompense. 15 If its lord be with it, he shall not recompense: if hired, it came for its hire.
