לֹא־יָב֣וּזוּ לַ֭גַּנָּב כִּ֣י יִגְנ֑וֹב לְמַלֵּ֥א נַ֝פְשׁ֗וֹ כִּ֣י יִרְעָֽב׃
מע קען ניט פֿאַראַכטן דעם גנבֿ אַז ער גנבֿעט, אָנצופֿילן זײַן לײַב װען ער איז הונגעריק.

מַלֵא נֶפֶש ,תמלאמו נפשי heißt ein Verlangen sättigen, ונפש רעבה מלא טוב (Ps. 107, 9), וגם הנפש לא תמלא (Pred. 6, 7), למלא נפשו כי ירעב (Prov. 6, 30) und sonst. Mein Verlangen soll an ihnen satt werden. Ich will meine ganze Rache an ihnen nehmen. — ירש ,תורישמו ידי verwandt mit גרש, heißt hinausdrängen, sowohl den Besitzer aus dem Besitze, als den Besitz aus den Händen des Besitzers, sowohl וירשתם אתהארץ (Dewarim 11, 8) als וירשתם גוים (daselbst 23), (– davon auch תירוש: der aus seiner Hülle getriebene Rebensaft —). Ähnlich kommt auch der Hiphil von der Person und von der Sache vor. Da aber hier Pharaos Absicht nicht die Vertreibung des Volkes war, so kann wohl תורישמו nur in der Bedeutung zu verstehen sein, wie: והורשתם את הארץ. (Bamidbar 34, 53): ihr werdet das Land in Besitz geben, es unter euch verteilen, והורשתם את העיר (Josua 8, 7): ihr sollt die Stadt zum Besitz erben, את אשר יורישך כמוש (Richter 11, 24): was er dich in Besitz nehmen lässt. So auch hier תורישמו ידי: meine Hand wird sie uns wieder in Besitz nehmen lassen.
Kli Yakar
And in the payment of four and five for stealing an ox or sheep and slaughtering it or selling it. Since its blood is sought here, and also to include the value of its potential offspring, because the male ox and the male sheep were capable of reproducing. We find in the Torah that Jacob sent 40 cows and 10 bulls, as each bull can impregnate four cows. Therefore, one must give four female cattle in place of the ox, plus a fifth cattle as a fine for the double payment. According to this calculation, one should have to give 11 female sheep in place of a male sheep, since each ram needs 10 females, plus one more for the fine. However, the Torah had mercy on him because of his humiliation in carrying the sheep on his shoulders, and reduced seven from him because of the humiliation, for human dignity is so great that it overrides [the requirement of] seven sheep. There is support for this from the verse People do not despise a thief when he steals… but if he is caught, he must pay sevenfold (Proverbs 6:30-31). The Ralbag explains that if the thief is found in the house of the owner of the stolen item, when he gives him seven for one, etc., it turns out that he gives seven because of his humiliation, for it is for the reason of he must pay sevenfold that it says do not despise a thief. And from where did Solomon learn to say that one should give seven for his humiliation? From the reduction of seven sheep from the 11, as mentioned.
