Exodus 22:4 in Context — Exodus 22

2 Si le voleur est surpris dérobant avec effraction, et qu’il soit frappé et meure, on ne sera point coupable de meurtre envers lui;

3 mais si le soleil est levé, on sera coupable de meurtre envers lui. Il fera restitution; s’il n’a rien, il sera vendu pour son vol;

4 si ce qu’il a dérobé, bœuf, âne, ou agneau, se trouve encore vivant entre ses mains, il fera une restitution au double.

5 Si un homme fait du dégât dans un champ ou dans une vigne, et qu’il laisse son bétail paître dans le champ d’autrui, il donnera en dédommagement le meilleur produit de son champ et de sa vigne.

6 Si un feu éclate et rencontre des épines, et que du blé en gerbes ou sur pied, ou bien le champ, soit consumé, celui qui a causé l’incendie sera tenu à un dédommagement.
