On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

This law teaches us that fraud and injustice, so far from enriching men, will impoverish them: if we unjustly get and keep that which is another's, it will not only waste itself, but it will consume that which is our own. If he was not able to make restitution, he must be sold for a slave,

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

The penalty for the theft of a sheep which was slain or sold, was fourfold; for an ox fivefold, because of its greater utility in labor; but, should the stolen animal have been recovered alive, a double compensation was all that was required, because it was presumable he (the thief) was not a practised adept in dishonesty.
