1 If a man shall steal an ox or a sheep, and slaughter it or sell it, he shall recompense five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep.

2 If in breaking in a thief shall be found, and he was smitten and died, no bloods for him.

3 If the sun was risen upon him, bloods for him: recompensing, he shall recompense; if nothing to him, to be sold for his theft.

4 If finding, the theft shall be found in his hand, from an ox to an ass, to a sheep; living, he shall recompense two.
