Commentary for Kiddushin 35:9
אמר רבא לא קשיא כאן בגניבה אחת כאן בשתי גניבות
Hence it follows that a Hebrew male slave may be sold and re-sold. But it was taught: [If he have nothing, then he shall be sold] for his theft,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Ex. XXII, 2.');"><sup>9</sup></span>
Daf Shevui to Kiddushin
Rava resolved the difficulty by claiming that although he may not be sold twice for two different thefts, he may be sold twice to recover one debt. Let’s say he stole a large amount of money. By selling him once, the theft might not be recovered. In such a case, he may be sold twice.
