1 “When a man steals an ox or a sheep, and shall slaughter it or sell it, he repays five cattle for an ox and four sheep for a sheep.
2 “If the thief is found breaking in, and he is smitten so that he dies, there is no guilt for his bloodshed.
3 “If the sun has risen on him, there is guilt for his bloodshed, he shall certainly repay. If he has not the means, then he shall be sold for his theft.
4 “If the theft is indeed found alive in his hand, whether it is an ox or donkey or sheep, he repays double.
