Exodus 22:3-5
Living Bible
3 But if it happens in the daylight, it must be presumed to be murder and the man who kills him is guilty.
“If a thief is captured, he must make full restitution; if he can’t, then he must be sold as a slave for his debt.
4 “If he is caught in the act of stealing a live ox or donkey or sheep or whatever it is, he shall pay double value as his fine.
5 “If someone deliberately lets his animal loose and it gets into another man’s vineyard; or if he turns it into another man’s field to graze, he must pay for all damages by giving the owner of the field or vineyard an equal amount of the best of his own crop.
