Exodus 22:1-9

1“IfH3588 a manH376 stealsH1589 an oxH77941 orH176 a sheepH7716 and slaughtersH2873 orH176 sells itH4376, he must repayH7999 fiveH2568 oxenH1241 forH8478 an oxH7794 and fourH702 sheepH7716 for a sheepH6629.

2IfH518 a thiefH1590 is caughtH4672 breaking inH4290 and is beatenH5221 to deathH4191, no oneH369 shall be guilty of bloodshedH1818. 3But ifH518 it happens after sunriseH2224H8121H5921, there is guilt for his bloodshedH1818.

A thief must make full restitutionH7999; ifH518 he has nothingH369, he himself shall be soldH4376 for his theftH1591. 4If what was stolenH518H1591 is actually foundH4672 aliveH2416 in his possessionH3027—whether oxH7794 orH5704 donkeyH2543 orH5704 sheepH7716—he must pay backH7999 doubleH8147.

5IfH3588 a manH376 grazes his livestockH1197 in a fieldH7704 orH176 vineyardH3754 and allows themH1165 to strayH7971 so that they grazeH1197 in someone else’sH312 fieldH7704, he must make restitutionH7999 from the bestH4315 of his own fieldH7704H4315 or vineyardH3754.

6IfH3588 a fireH784 breaks outH3318 and spreadsH4672 to thornbushesH6975 so that it consumesH398 stackedH1430 orH176 standing grainH7054, orH176 the whole fieldH7704, the one who startedH1197 the fireH1200 must make full restitutionH7999.

7IfH3588 a manH376H413 givesH5414 his neighborH7453 moneyH3701 orH176 goodsH3627 for safekeepingH8104 and they are stolenH1589 from the neighbor’sH376 houseH1004, the thiefH1590, ifH518 caughtH4672, must pay backH7999 doubleH8147. 8IfH518 the thiefH1590 is notH3808 foundH4672, the ownerH1167 of the houseH1004 must appearH7126 beforeH413 the judgesH4302 to determine whetherH518H3808 he has takenH7971H3027 his neighbor’sH7453 propertyH4399.

9InH5921 allH3605 casesH1697 of illegal possessionH6588 ofH5921 an oxH7794H5921, a donkeyH2543H5921, a sheepH7716H5921, a garmentH8008H5921, or anyH3605 lost itemH9 thatH834 someone claimsH559H3588, ‘ThisH2088 is mineH1931,’ both partiesH8147 shall bringH935 their casesH1697 beforeH5704 the judgesH430. The one whom the judgesH430 find guiltyH75613 must pay backH7999 doubleH8147 to his neighborH7453.
