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. 8If 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. 9For 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, 11an 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. 12But if it is actually stolen from him, he shall make restitution to its owner. 13If 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. 15If 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.
