## Exodus 22:1-3 in Context (Verses 1–6 KJV)
 
 [1 ](/kjv/exodus/22/1) 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 ](/kjv/exodus/22/2) ¶ If a thief be found breaking up, and be smitten that he die, *there shall* no blood *be shed* for him.
 
 [3 ](/kjv/exodus/22/3) If the sun be risen upon him, *there shall be* blood *shed* for him; *for* he should make full restitution; if he have nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.
 
 [4 ](/kjv/exodus/22/4) If the theft be certainly found in his hand alive, whether it be ox, or ass, or sheep; he shall restore double.
 
 [5 ](/kjv/exodus/22/5) ¶ If a man shall cause a field or vineyard to be eaten, and shall put in his beast, and shall feed in another man’s field; of the best of his own field, and of the best of his own vineyard, shall he make restitution.
 
 [6 ](/kjv/exodus/22/6) ¶ If fire break out, and catch in thorns, so that the stacks of corn, or the standing corn, or the field, be consumed *therewith;* he that kindled the fire shall surely make restitution.
