Hebrew Text
editהגוזל את חברו שוה פרוטה
ונשבע לו,
יוליכנו אחריו אפלו למדי.
לא יתן לא לבנו
ולא לשלוחו,
אבל נותן לשליח בית דין.
ואם מת,
יחזיר ליורשיו.
English Translation
editIf one stole from another something worth a perutah
And [nonetheless] swore [that he did not do so],
He must take it to him [even if he needs to go as far as] to Media.
He may give it neither to his son
Nor to his agent,
But he may give it to an agent of the court.
If [the victim] died,
[The thief] must restore it to his heirs.
