Exodus 22:4

Context
22:4 If the stolen item should in fact be found 1  alive in his possession, 2  whether it be an ox or a donkey or a sheep, he must pay back double. 3 

1 tn The construction uses a Niphal infinitive absolute and a Niphal imperfect: if it should indeed be found. Gesenius says that in such conditional clauses the infinitive absolute has less emphasis, but instead emphasizes the condition on which some consequence depends (see GKC 342-43 §113.o).

2 tn Heb “in his hand.”

3 sn He must pay back one for what he took, and then one for the penalty – his loss as he was inflicting a loss on someone else.
