4 If the stolen thing be actually found alive in his hand, 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 certainly be put to death.
If a man steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it, he shall restore five oxen for the ox, and four sheep for the sheep.
As to all manner of fraud, -- as to ox, as to ass, as to sheep, as to clothing, as to everything lost, of which [a man] saith, It is this -- the cause of both parties shall come before the judges: he whom the judges shall condemn shall restore double to his neighbour.
and if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.
But first I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double, because they have profaned my land with the carcases of their detestable things, and with their abominations have they filled mine inheritance.
