Exodus 22:12

Context
22:12 But if it was stolen 1  from him, 2  he will pay its owner.

1 tn Both with this verb “stolen” and in the next clauses with “torn in pieces,” the text uses the infinitive absolute construction with less than normal emphasis; as Gesenius says, in conditional clauses, an infinitive absolute stresses the importance of the condition on which some consequence depends (GKC 342-43 §113.o).

2 sn The point is that the man should have taken better care of the animal.
