4 If the theft be certainly found in his hand alive, whether it be ox, or ass, or sheep; he shall restore double.
And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.
If a man shall steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it; he shall restore five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep.
For all manner of trespass, whether it be for ox, for ass, for sheep, for raiment, or for any manner of lost thing which another challengeth to be his, the cause of both parties shall come before the judges; and whom the judges shall condemn, he shall pay double unto his neighbor.
But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.
And first I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double; because they have defiled my land, they have filled mine inheritance with the carcases of their detestable and abominable things.
