restitution​
I put this in the Bob Enyart forum because bob had a 100 day plan
and i can not remember how he dealt with this.

Exo 22:1 "If a man steals an ox or a sheep, and kills it or sells it, he shall repay five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep.
Exo 22:2
Exo 22:3 .... If he has nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.

how would restitution work today?
what about criminals who do not want to pay?

Normally theft required double restitution (to the victim, not the state) but if what was stolen was a means of production (like oxen) that someone would use to provide for his family the restitution was higher.

Today, if someone stole your car worth $10,000 they would be required to pay you $20,000.

“If a man steals an ox or a sheep, and slaughters it or sells it, he shall restore five oxen for an ox and four sheep for a sheep. If the thief is found breaking in, and he is struck so that he dies, there shall be no guilt for his bloodshed. If the sun has risen on him, there shall be guilt for his bloodshed. He should make full restitution; if he has nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft. If the theft is certainly found alive in his hand, whether it is an ox or donkey or sheep, he shall restore double. “If a man causes a field or vineyard to be grazed, and lets loose his animal, and it feeds in another man’s field, he shall make restitution from the best of his own field and the best of his own vineyard.
“If fire breaks out and catches in thorns, so that stacked grain, standing grain, or the field is consumed, he who kindled the fire shall surely make restitution.[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif][FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]”[/FONT][/FONT]
