1 “If a man steals an ox or a sheep, and kills it or sells it, he shall repay five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep.

2 If a thief is found breaking in and is struck so that he dies, there shall be no bloodguilt for him,

3 but if the sun has risen on him, there shall be bloodguilt for him. He shall surely pay. If he has nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.

4 If the stolen beast is found alive in his possession, whether it is an ox or a donkey or a sheep, he shall pay double.
