Exodus 22:1-4 - Laws About Theft

1 When a man stealeth an ox or a sheep, and slayeth it, or selleth it, with five of the herd, shall he make good - for the ox, or with four of the flock, for the sheep. 2 If, in the place of breaking in, the thief be found and he is smitten so that he dieth, there is due for him no shedding of blood: 3 should the sun have arisen upon him, there would be shedding of blood due for him, - he is surely to make restitution, if he hath nothing, then is he to be sold, for his theft. 4 If the thing stolen is found in his hand - whether ox or ass or sheep, alive, with two, shall he make restitution.
