Exodus 22:7-15

7 “ ^aIf someone gives his neighbor money or goods to keep for him and it is stolen from the ^{▼▼Lit man’s}neighbor’s house, if the thief is ^{▼▼Lit found}caught, then the thief shall pay double. 8 If the thief is not ^{▼▼Lit found}caught, then the owner of the house shall ^{▼▼Lit approach to}appear before ^{▼▼Or God
,} ^gthe judges, to determine whether he ^{▼▼Lit stretched his hand}laid his hands on his neighbor’s property. 9 For every ^{▼▼Or matter of wrongdoing}breach 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 ^{▼▼Lit matter}case of both parties shall come before ^{▼▼Or God
,} ^lthe judges; he whom ^{▼▼Or God}the judges condemn shall pay double to his neighbor.

10 “If someone 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, 11 an ⁿoath before the Lord shall be ^{▼▼Lit between the two}taken by the two of them ^{▼▼Lit if}that he has not ^{▼▼Lit reached out his hand}laid a hand on his neighbor’s property; and its owner shall accept it, and he shall not be compelled to make restitution. 12 But if it is actually stolen from him, he shall make restitution to its owner. 13 If it is all torn to pieces, have him bring it as evidence; he shall not be compelled to make restitution for what has been torn to pieces.

14 “And if someone ^{▼▼Lit asks}borrows an animal from his neighbor, and it is injured or dies while its owner is not with it, he shall make full restitution. 15 If its owner is with it, the borrower shall not be compelled to make restitution. If it is hired, it ^{▼▼I.e., the fee covers the loss}came by its hire.
