2“3IfH518 the 4thiefH1590 is 5caughtH4672 while breakingH4290 in and is struckH5221 so that he diesH4191, thereH369 will be noH369 bloodguiltinessH1818 on his account. 3But ifH518 the sunH8121 has risenH2224 on him, there will be bloodguiltinessH1818 on his account. He shall surelyH7999 makeH7999 restitutionH7999; ifH518 he owns nothingH369, then he shall be 6soldH4376 for his theftH1591. 4IfH518 whatH1591 he stoleH1591 is actuallyH4672 foundH4672 aliveH2416 in his 7possessionH3027, whetherH4480 an oxH7794 orH5704 a donkeyH2543 orH5704 a sheepH7716, 8he shall payH7999 doubleH8147.
5“IfH3588 a manH376 lets a fieldH7704 orH176 vineyardH3754 be grazedH1197 bare and letsH7971 his animalH1165 looseH7971 so that it grazesH1197 in anotherH312 man’s fieldH7704, he shall makeH7999 restitutionH7999 from the bestH4315 of his own fieldH7704 and the bestH4315 of his own vineyardH3754.
6“IfH3588 a fireH784 breaksH3318 out and spreadsH4672 to thornH6975 bushesH6975, so that stackedH1430 grain orH176 the standingH7054 grainH7054 orH176 the fieldH7704 itself is consumedH398, he who startedH1197 the fireH1200 shall surelyH7999 makeH7999 restitutionH7999.
7“9IfH3588 a manH376 givesH5414 his neighborH7453 moneyH3701 orH176 goodsH3627 to keepH8104 for him and it is stolenH1589 from the man’sH376 houseH1004, ifH518 the thiefH1590 is 10caughtH4672, he shall payH7999 doubleH8147. 8IfH518 the thiefH1590 is not 11caughtH4672, then the ownerH1167 of the houseH1004 shall 12appearH7126 beforeH413 1314the judgesH430, to determine whetherH518H3808 he 15laidH7971 his handsH3027 on his neighbor’sH7453 propertyH4399. 9For everyH3605 16breachH6588 of trustH6588, whether it is for oxH7794, for donkeyH2543, for sheepH7716, for clothingH8008, or for anyH3605 lostH9 thingH9 about whichH834 one saysH559, ‘ThisH2088 is it,’ the 17caseH1697 of bothH8147 parties shall comeH935 beforeH5704 1819the judgesH430; he whomH834 20the judgesH430 condemnH7561 shall payH7999 doubleH8147 to his neighborH7453.
