9098. Verse 37.* When a man shall steal an ox, or one of the flock, and shall kill it, or sell it, he shall repay five oxen for an ox, and four of the flock for one of the flock. "When a man shall steal an ox, or one of the flock," signifies one who takes away from anyone his good exterior or interior; "and shall kill it," signifies if he shall extinguish it; "or sell it," signifies or if he shall alienate it; "he shall repay five oxen for an ox," signifies the corresponding penalty to much; "and four of the flock for one of the flock," signifies the corresponding penalty to the full.
* In the English Bible this is verse 1 of chapter 22.
