If the theft be certainly found in his hand alive, whether it be ox, or ass, or sheep; he shall restore double.
Si la propiedad robada se encuentra viva en posesión de alguien—ya sea vaca, burro u oveja—debe pagar el doble de lo que tomó.

📚 Contexto Histórico
This law was given to Moses as part of God's civil and moral code for the newly formed nation of Israel after their exodus from Egypt. In an agricultural society where livestock represented significant wealth and livelihood, theft of animals was a serious economic crime that could devastate families. The double restitution served both as punishment for the thief and fair compensation for the victim's loss and suffering.
