Exodus 22:1-4

Laws Concerning Theft and Restitution

Exodus 22:1-4
1
"If someone steals an ox or a sheep and slaughters or sells it, he is to pay five oxen for an ox and four sheep for a sheep.
2
"If a thief caught in the act of breaking in is beaten to death, it is not murder;
3
unless it happens after sunrise, in which case it is murder. A thief must make restitution; so if he has nothing, he himself is to be sold to make good the loss from the theft.
4
If what he stole is found alive in his possession, he is to pay double, no matter whether it is an ox, a donkey or a sheep.
