1 When a man steals an ox or sheep, and has slaughtered it or sold it, he repays [with] five of the herd for the ox, and four of the flock for the sheep.

2 If in the breaking through, the thief is found, and he has been struck and has died, there is no blood for him;

3 if the sun has risen on him, blood [is] for him, he certainly repays; if he has nothing, then he has been sold for his theft;

4 if the theft is certainly found alive in his hand, whether ox, or donkey, or sheep—he repays double.
