Reference for Bava Kamma 127:5
מה יש לך להביא שאר בעלי חיים כשהוא אומר חיים הרי חיים אמור הא מה אני מקיים גניבה לרבות כל דבר
mentions objects possessing life, so also any other objects possessing life [should be included]. What can you include through this? All other objects possessing life. But when the text continues 'alive', we have objects possessing life explicitly stated. How then am I to explain 'theft'? [It must be] to include any other object whatsoever.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' [Hence the derivation of double payment in the case of the thief himself.] ');"><sup>5</sup></span>
