Can we create new exegetical principles? Why use examples ox, sheep, donkey? Why is the phrase “if the theft shall be found” necessary in this context? What is point of apparently redundant “in the waters, in the seas, in the rivers” re kosher fish? Does a thief need to take an oath to be liable to the 2x payment?
