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 ^cfour sheep for a sheep. 2 ¹ If a thief is found ^dbreaking in and is struck so that he dies, there shall be no bloodguilt for him, 3 but if the sun has risen on him, there shall be bloodguilt for him. He² shall surely pay. If he has nothing, then ^ehe shall be sold for his theft. 4 If the stolen beast ^fis found alive in his possession, whether it is an ox or a donkey or a sheep, ^ghe shall pay double.
