Exodus 22:7-15

7 ^a“If 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 ^{▼▼ Lit found}caught, he 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
,} ^fthe judges, to determine whether he ^{▼▼ Lit stretched his hand}laid his hands on his neighbor’s property. 9 “For every ^{▼▼ Or matter of transgression}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
,} ^kthe judges; he whom ^{▼▼ Or God}the 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 hurt or is driven away while no one is looking, 11 an ^moath before the Lord shall be made by the two of them ^{▼▼ Lit whether}that he has not ^{▼▼ Lit stretched his hand}laid 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 “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 ^{▼▼ Lit asks}borrows anything 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, he shall not make restitution; if it is hired, it came for its hire.
