Laws Concerning Theft and Restitution

Exodus 22:1-4
1
“If a man steals an ox or a sheep and slaughters or sells it, he must repay five oxen for an ox and four sheep for a sheep.
2
If a thief is caught breaking in and is beaten to death, no one shall be guilty of bloodshed.
3
But if it happens after sunrise, there is guilt for his bloodshed. A thief must make full restitution; if he has nothing, he himself shall be sold for his theft.
4
If what was stolen is actually found alive in his possession—whether ox or donkey or sheep—he must pay back double.
