Exodus 22:1-2

New Catholic Bible

Chapter 22

¹ “If a thief is surprised while he is breaking in and is struck and dies, then there is no bloodguilt for the striker. ² But if the sun has already risen on him, there would be bloodguilt for the striker.

“A thief must surely pay restitution. If he has nothing with which he can pay, then he is to be sold to pay for his theft.
