Exodus 21:36

Study

       

36 Or if it be known that the ox have gored heretofore, and its owner have not kept him in, he shall in any case restore ox for ox; and the dead shall be his.

9153. 'If the thief is not caught' means, if there is no recollection of what has been taken away. This is clear from the meaning of 'if the thief is caught' as, if there is a recollection of what has been taken away, dealt with just above in 9151, at this point no recollection of it since it says 'if he is not caught'.
