But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.
Pero si es atrapado, debe devolver siete veces lo que robó; debe entregar todo lo que posee en su casa.
El ladrón que es atrapado debe pagar siete veces lo robado, aunque pierda todas sus posesiones.
📚 Contexto Histórico
This verse is part of a passage in Proverbs that discusses theft and adultery, written during Solomon's time when Israel had specific laws about restitution for crimes. In ancient Israel, theft required repayment beyond the original amount stolen, and 'sevenfold' was used to indicate complete or severe restitution. The legal system emphasized making the victim whole while deterring future crime through significant financial consequences.
