Exodus 22:3-5
New International Version
3 but if it happens after sunrise, the defender is guilty of bloodshed.
“Anyone who steals must certainly make restitution,(A) but if they have nothing, they must be sold(B) to pay for their theft. 4 If the stolen animal is found alive in their possession(C)—whether ox or donkey or sheep—they must pay back double.(D)
5 “If anyone grazes their livestock in a field or vineyard and lets them stray and they graze in someone else’s field, the offender must make restitution(E) from the best of their own field or vineyard.
