1 When someone steals an ox or a sheep and slaughters or sells it, he shall restore five oxen for the one ox, and four sheep for the one sheep. 2 [If a thief is caught in the act of housebreaking and beaten to death, there is no bloodguilt involved. 3 But if after sunrise he is thus beaten, there is bloodguilt.] He must make full restitution. If he has nothing, he shall be sold to pay for his theft. Exodus 22:1-3, New American Bible Revised. Copyright © 2010 USCCB.
