Jubilee Bible 2000
22 ¶ If a man shall steal an ox or a sheep and kill it or sell it he shall restore five oxen for an ox and four sheep for a sheep.
2 If a thief is found breaking into a house and is smitten so he dies, he that killed him shall not be guilty of his blood.
3 If the sun is risen upon him, he that killed him is guilty of his blood; the thief should make full restitution; if he has nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.
