Ibn Ezra on Exodus 22:2/אבן עזרא על שמות כ״ב:ב׳

אאם זרחה השמש, שלם ישלם. שב אל הכתוב למעלה חמשה בקר ישלם וגו' (למעלה כא לז) כמו לעם נכרי (שם שם ח) ואף לאמתך תעשה כן (דבר' טו יז) כי הוא שב אל הפסוק העליון, העניק תעניק לו (שם פ' יד ):

1IF THE SUN BE RISEN UPON HIM…HE SHALL MAKE RESTITUTION. This³. refers to he shall pay five oxen for an ox, etc. (Ex. 21:37), which is written above.⁴ It is like unto a foreign people (Ex. 21:8)⁵ and And also unto thy bondwoman thou shalt do likewise (Deut. 15:17), which refers to thou shalt furnish him liberally (Deut. 15:14), which is written above it.

בונמכר בגנבתו. בעבור גניבתו:

2HE SHALL BE SOLD FOR HIS THEFT. Because of his theft.⁶ prefaced to genevato (his theft) means because. Thus bi-genevato means because of his theft. The bet prefaced to a word usually means in. Hence I.E.’s comment.
