Exodus 22:1-4

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.

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

3but 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.

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