Protection of Property

22 ^[a]“Whoever steals an ox or a sheep and slaughters it or sells it must pay back^(A) five head of cattle for the ox and four sheep for the sheep.

⁴ when they sin in any of these ways and realize their guilt, they must return^(A) what they have stolen or taken by extortion, or what was entrusted to them, or the lost property they found,

⁵ or whatever it was they swore falsely about. They must make restitution^(A) in full, add a fifth of the value to it and give it all to the owner on the day they present their guilt offering.^(B)

⁷ and must confess^(A) the sin they have committed. They must make full restitution^(B) for the wrong they have done, add a fifth of the value to it and give it all to the person they have wronged.

⁶ He must pay for that lamb four times over,^(A) because he did such a thing and had no pity.”

¹⁴ And if I say to a wicked person, ‘You will surely die,’ but they then turn away from their sin and do what is just^(A) and right—

¹⁵ if they give back what they took in pledge^(A) for a loan, return what they have stolen,^(B) follow the decrees that give life, and do no evil—that person will surely live; they will not die.^(C)
