‏ Exodus 22:9

9 In all cases of illegal possessions, ^{▼▼tn Heb “concerning every kind [thing] of trespass.”} whether for an ox, a donkey, a sheep, a garment, or any kind of lost item, about which someone says ‘This belongs to me,’ ^{▼▼tn The text simply has “this is it” (הוּא זֶה, huʾ zeh).} the matter of the two of them will come before the judges, ^{▼▼tn Again, or “God.”} and the one whom ^{▼▼tn This kind of clause Gesenius calls an independent relative clause—it does not depend on a governing substantive but itself expresses a substantival idea (GKC 445-46 §138.e).} the judges declare guilty ^{▼▼tn The verb means “to be guilty” in Qal; in Hiphil it would have a declarative sense because a causative sense would not possibly fit.} must repay double to his neighbor.
