THEFT
Exodus 20:15 Proverbs 22:22, under the Mosaic law, was punished by exacting a double or a quadruple restitution, which was secured if necessary by the sale of the goods or services of the thief to the requisite amount, Exodus 1:22-8, Exodus 1:22 2 Samuel 12:6 Proverbs 6:30, Proverbs 1:6 Luke 19:8. A night-robber might lawfully be slain in the act; and a man-stealer was to be punished by death, Exodus 21:16; Exodus 1:22.
