Exodus 22

KJ3 Literal Translation — Chapter 22 of 40

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

2 If the thief is found breaking in, and is stricken and dies, no blood shall be shed for him;

3 If the sun has risen on him, blood is due for him; repaying he shall repay. If he has nothing, then he should be sold for his theft.
