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 (B)oath before the Lord shall be [e]taken by the two of them [f]that he has not [g]laid a hand on his neighbor’s property; and its owner shall accept it, and he shall not be compelled to make restitution.
