Exodus 22:2-4

Living Bible

² “If a thief is caught in the act of breaking into a house and is killed, the one who killed him is not guilty. 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.
