Laws About Restitution

Exodus 22:1-15
1If a man steals cattle or a sheep and slaughters it or sells it, he shall make restitution: five cattle for the cattle and four flock for the sheep. 2If the thief is found breaking in and is struck and dies, there is no blood for him. 3If the sun has risen upon him, there is blood for him; he shall make restitution. If he has nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft. 4If the theft is found in his hand, whether cattle, donkey, or live sheep, he shall make restitution with two. 5If a man grazes a field or vineyard and sends his cattle into another field and grazes in the field of another, he shall make restitution from the best of his field and the best of his vineyard. 6If fire goes out and finds thorns and consumes a stack or the standing grain or the field, he shall make restitution; the one who burns shall make restitution for the fire. 7If a man gives to his neighbor silver or articles to keep and it is stolen from the house of the man, if the thief is found he shall make restitution with two. 8If the thief is not found, then the master of the house shall come near to God whether he has not sent his hand against the work of his neighbor. 9Upon every matter of transgression, upon cattle, upon donkey, upon sheep, upon garment, upon every lost thing about which one says, 'This is it,' the matter of the two shall come to God; the one whom God declares wicked shall make restitution with two to his neighbor. 10If a man gives to his neighbor a donkey or cattle or sheep or any animal to keep and it dies or is broken or is taken captive, with no one seeing, 11An oath of the LORD shall be between the two of them whether he has not sent his hand against the work of his neighbor; and its master shall take it and he shall not make restitution. 12And if it is stolen from him, he shall make restitution to its master. 13If it is torn, he shall bring the torn animal as witness to him; he shall not make restitution. 14And if a man borrows from his neighbor and it is broken or dies, its master not being with him, he shall make restitution. 15If its master is with him, he shall not make restitution; if he is hired, it comes with his wages.
