    2“If a thief is caught breaking in and is struck so that he dies, there will be no blood guilt for him.

    3If the sun has risen on him, then there is blood guilt for him. A thief must surely make full restitution; if he has nothing, then he will be sold for his theft.

    10If a man gives his neighbor a donkey or an ox or a sheep or any beast to keep, and it dies or is injured or is carried away without anyone seeing it,

    11then there will be an oath to the LORD between the two of them, that he has not laid his hand on his neighbor’s goods, and its owner will accept this, and he will not have to pay.

    12But if it was stolen from him, he will pay its owner.

    13If it is torn in pieces, then he will bring it for evidence, and he will not have to pay for what was torn.
