If a man shall steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it; he shall pay five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep.
2

If the thief be found breaking in, and be smitten so that he dieth, there shall be no bloodguiltiness for him.
3
ASV
If the sun be risen upon him, there shall be bloodguiltiness for him; he shall make restitution: if he have nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.
4

If the theft be found in his hand alive, whether it be ox, or ass, or sheep, he shall pay double.
5

9
ASV
For every matter of trespass, whether it be for ox, for ass, for sheep, for raiment, [or] for any manner of lost thing, whereof one saith, This is it, the cause of both parties shall come before God; he whom God shall condemn shall pay double unto his neighbor.
10
ASV
If a man deliver unto his neighbor an ass, or an ox, or a sheep, or any beast, to keep; and it die, or be hurt, or driven away, no man seeing it:
11
ASV
the oath of Jehovah shall be between them both, whether he hath not put his hand unto his neighbor’s goods; and the owner thereof shall accept it, and he shall not make restitution.
12
ASV
But if it be stolen from him, he shall make restitution unto the owner thereof.
13

ASV
And if a man borrow aught of his neighbor, and it be hurt, or die, the owner thereof not being with it, he shall surely make restitution.

23
ASV
If thou afflict them at all, and they cry at all unto me, I will surely hear their cry;
24
ASV
and my wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.
25
ASV
If thou lend money to any of my people with thee that is poor, thou shalt not be to him as a creditor; neither shall ye lay upon him interest.
26
ASV
If thou at all take thy neighbor’s garment to pledge, thou shalt restore it unto him before the sun goeth down:
27
ASV
for that is his only covering, it is his garment for his skin: wherein shall he sleep? and it shall come to pass, when he crieth unto me, that I will hear; for I am gracious.
28
ASV
