New Testament

Exodus 22:1-6 Amplified Bible (AMP)

1. IF A man steals an ox or sheep and kills or sells it, he shall pay five oxen for an ox, or four sheep for a sheep.

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

3. But if the sun has risen [so he can be seen], blood must be shed for slaying him. The thief [if he lives] must make full restitution; if he has nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.

4. If the beast which he stole is found in his possession alive, whether it is ox or ass or sheep, he shall restore double.

5. If a man causes a field or vineyard to be grazed over or lets his beast loose and it feeds in another man's field, he shall make restitution of the best of his own field or his own vineyard.

6. If fire breaks out and catches so that the stacked grain or standing grain or the field be consumed, he who kindled the fire shall make full restitution.
