Exodus 22:1-3 New English Translation (NET)

1. (21:37) “If a man steals an ox or a sheep and kills it or sells it, he must pay back five head of cattle for the ox, and four sheep for the one sheep.

2. “If a thief is caught breaking in and is struck so that he dies, there will be no blood guilt for him.

3. If the sun has risen on him, then there is blood guilt for him. A thief must surely make full restitution; if he has nothing, then he will be sold for his theft.
