[[Thievery]]
According to the [[Bible]], theft was punished in many different ways. Depending on the type of item stolen, the thief would provide restitution equal to a certain number of times the value of the original object. If the thief was unable to provide this restitution, then he could be sold into [[slavery]].
'''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.''
'''Exodus 22:2''' ''If a thief be found breaking up, and be smitten that he die, there shall no blood be shed for him.''
'''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.''
