Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Exodus 21
³⁵ "If one man’s ox hurts another’s so that it dies, then they shall sell the live ox and divide its price equally; and also they shall divide the dead ox.
³⁶ Or if it is known that the ox was previously in the habit of goring, yet its owner has not confined it, he shall surely pay ox for ox, and the dead animal shall become his.
Exodus 22
¹ "If a man steals an ox or a sheep and slaughters it or sells it, he shall pay five oxen for the ox and four sheep for the sheep.
² "If the thief is caught while breaking in and is struck so that he dies, there will be no bloodguiltiness on his account.
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.
⁴ If what he stole is actually found alive in his possession, whether an ox or a donkey or a sheep, he shall pay double.
⁵ "If a man lets a field or vineyard be grazed bare and lets his animal loose so that it grazes in another man’s field, he shall make restitution from the best of his own field and the best of his own vineyard.
⁶ "If a fire breaks out and spreads to thorn bushes, so that stacked grain or the standing grain or the field itself is consumed, he who started the fire shall surely make restitution.
⁷ "If a man gives his neighbor money or goods to keep for him and it is stolen from the man’s house, if the thief is caught, he shall pay double.
⁸ If the thief is not caught, then the owner of the house shall appear before the judges, to determine whether he laid his hands on his neighbor’s property.
⁹ For every breach of trust, whether it is for ox, for donkey, for sheep, for clothing, or for any lost thing about which one says, ’This is it,’ the case of both parties shall come before the judges; he whom the judges condemn shall pay double to his neighbor.
