NASB | Exodus 22:4 "If what he stole is actually found alive in his possession, whether an ox or a donkey or a sheep, he shall pay double. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Exodus 22:4 "If the animal that he stole is found alive in his possession, whether it is ox or donkey or sheep, he shall pay double [for it]. |
Bible Question: Genesis 22:4 Since the stolen beasts are found still alive, rather than dead, then why shall the thief be fined to pay double? |
Bible Answer: Greetings! Scripture does not tell us why, but the double restitution was most likely meant as a punishment for theft and as a disincentive to theft. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
