[If] according to two [witnesses, a person] stole, and —- according to them or according to two others —- he slaughtered or sold, he pays the fourfold or fivefold payment.  [If] one stole and sold on the Sabbath; stole and sold for idolatry; stole and slaughtered on Yom Kippur; stole from his father, slaughtered or sold it, and then his father died; [or] stole and slaugh-tered, and then consecrated —- he pays the fourfold or fivefold payment.  [If] one stole and slaughtered for medicinal pur-poses or for dogs, if one slaughters and it is found to have an organic defect, [or] if one slaughters an ordinary animal in the Temple Courtyard, he pays the fourfold or fivefold payment. R' Shimon exempts [him] in these two [instances].

[If] according to two [witnesses] a person stole, and —- according to them —- he slaughtered or sold, and they are found to be false [witnesses], they pay in full.  [If] according to two [witnesses] he stole and —- according to two others —- he slaughtered or sold, and both of them were found to be false [witnesses] —- the first ones pay the twofold payment, and the second ones pay the threefold payment. If the second ones were found to be false [witnesses], he pays the twofold payment and they pay the threefold payment. [If] one of the second ones is found to be false, the second testimony is void; [if] one of the first ones is found to be false, the entire testimony is void, for if there is no theft, there is no slaughter and no sale.

[If] according to two [witnesses] one stole and —- according to one witness or by his own confession —- he slaughtered or sold, he pays the twofold payment, but he does not pay the fourfold or fivefold payment.  [If] one stole and slaughtered on the Sabbath; stole and slaughtered for idolatry; stole from his father, and his father died, and afterward he slaughtered or sold; stole and consecrated and afterward slaughtered or sold —- he pays the twofold payment, but he does not pay the four-fold or fivefold payment.  R' Shimon says: [For] consecrated animals for which he is responsible, he pays the fourfold or fivefold payment; [for] those for which he is not responsible, he is exempt.

[If] he sold it except for one-hundredth of it, or if he had joint ownership in it; [if] he slaughtered [it] and it became disquali-fied; [if] he pierced its nostrils or tore out the throat organs —- he pays the twofold payment, but he does not pay the fourfold or fivefold payment.  [If] one stole in the owners' premises and slaughtered or sold outside their premises, or if he stole outside their premises and slaughtered or sold within their premises, or if he stole and slaughtered or sold outside their premises —- he pays the fourfold or fivefold payment. But [if] he stole and slaughtered or sold in their premises, he is exempt.
