2 "If the thief is caught while breaking in and is struck so that he dies, there will be no bloodguiltiness on his account.2 If a thief be found breaking up, and be smitten that he die, there shall no blood be shed for him.2 "If anyone catches a thief breaking in and hits him so that he dies, he is not guilty of murder.2 If the thief is found breaking in, and is struck so that he dies, there shall be no guilt of bloodshed for him.2 If the thief be encountered breaking in, and be smitten so that he die, there shall be no blood-guiltiness for him.
3 "But if the sun has risen on him, there will be bloodguiltiness on his account. He shall surely make restitution; if he owns nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.3 If the sun be risen upon him, there shall be blood shed for him; for he should make full restitution; if he have nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.3 But if it happens after sunrise, he is guilty of murder. "A thief must make up for what he has stolen. If he is unable to do so, he must be sold [as a slave] to pay for what he stole.3 If the sun has risen on him, guilt of bloodshed shall be for him; he shall make restitution. If he has nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.3 If the sun be risen on him, there shall be blood-guiltiness for him; he should have made full restitution: if he had nothing, he would have been sold for his theft.

But if he lets them ruin the whole field with their grazing, he must make up from his own field for the loss with the best from his field and vineyard. 5 "If a man causes a field or vineyard to be eaten, and lets his animal loose, and it grazes in another man's field, he shall make restitution from the best of his own field, and from the best of his own vineyard.5 If a man shall cause a field or vineyard to be eaten, and put in his cattle, and pasture in another man's field, of the best of his own field, and of the best of his own vineyard shall he make it good.

He whom God condemns shall pay double to his neighbor.9 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.

15 "If its owner is with it, he shall not make restitution; if it is hired, it came for its hire.15 But if the owner thereof be with it, he shall not make it good: if it be an hired thing, it came for his hire.15 If the owner is with the animal, the borrower doesn't have to make up for the loss. If it is rented, the rental fee covers the loss.15 If its owner is with it, he shall not make it good. If it is a leased thing, it came for its lease.15 if the owner thereof be with it, he shall not make it good; if it be a hired thing, it came for its hire.
