Exegesis
Numeral phrases chamishah bā-qār {חֲמִשָּׁה בָקָר | ḥă-miš-šāh bā-qār} and wə-ʾar-bāʿ ṣôn {וְאַרְבַּע צֹאן | wə-ʾar-bāʿ ṣôn} establish the restitution ratios. This parallelism between imperfect and perfect verbal sequences yields a concise legal formula.
In context — Exodus 22:1
If a man steals an ox or a sheep and slaughters it or sells it, he shall pay five head of cattle instead of the ox and four sheep instead of the sheep.
