Although he pays him, he is not forgiven for it until he seeks [forgiveness] from him, as it is said (Genesis 20:7): But now, return the wife ...  Now, from where do we know that the one who forgives should not be cruel? It is said (ibid., v. 17): And Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech ...  [If] one says: “Blind my eye,” “Cut off my hand,” [or] “Break my leg,” he is liable. “On condition to be exempt?” —- he is liable. “Tear my clothes,” [or] “Break my jug” —- he is liable. “On condi-tion to be exempt?” —- he is exempt. “Do this to So-and-so on condition that you be exempt” —- he is liable, whether it is against his body or against his property.

[If] one steals wood and makes it into utensils; [or] wool, and makes it into garments —- he pays as of the time of the robbery.  [If] one steals a pregnant cow, and it calves; [or] a ewe bearing wool, and he shears it —- he pays the value of the cow ready to calve [or] the value of a ewe ready to be shorn.  [If] one steals a cow, and it becomes impregnated while with him, and it calves; [or] a ewe, and it becomes laden with wool while with him, and he shears it —- he pays as of the time of the robbery.  This is the general rule: All robbers pay as of the time of the robbery.
