Exodus 22:7–13

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 ^3athe 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 ^3athe 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.
