This week we will learn about a person who stole an animal and then killed it or sold it. If there are witnesses that testify to this, the thief must pay 4 or 5 times the value of the animal. If he sold it on Shabbat or killed it on Yom Kippur, he still pays 4 or 5 times the value. If a set of witnesses say he stole an animal but only 1 witness says he killed or sold it, the thief only pays double the value and not 4 or 5 times.
