Exodus 22:7-15
Read Exodus 22 in full →7“aIf a man gives his neighbor money or goods to keep for him and it is stolen from the man’s house, if the thief is 1caught, he shall pay double. 8“If the thief is not 1caught, then the owner of the house shall 2appear before 3,athe judges to determine whether he 4laid his hands on his neighbor’s property. 9“For every 1breach of trust, whether it is for ox, for donkey, for sheep, for clothing, or for any lost thing about which one says, ‘This is it,’ the 2case of both parties shall come before 3,athe judges; he whom 4the judges condemn shall pay double to his neighbor.
10“If a man gives his neighbor a donkey, an ox, a sheep, or any animal to keep for him, and it dies or is injured or is driven away while no one is looking, 11then an aoath before Yahweh shall be made by the two of them 1that he has not 2laid hands on his neighbor’s property; and its owner shall accept it, and he shall not make restitution. 12“But if it is actually stolen from him, he shall make restitution to its owner. 13“Now if it is all torn to pieces, let him bring it as evidence; he shall not make restitution for what has been torn to pieces.
14“If a man 1borrows anything from his neighbor, and it is injured or dies while its owner is not with it, he shall make full restitution. 15“But if its owner is with it, he shall not make restitution; if it is hired, it came for its hire.
