Exodus 22:6-8

Expanded Bible

⁶ “Suppose a man starts a fire that ·spreads through the thornbushes to his neighbor’s field [^Lcatches in the thorns]. If the fire burns ·his neighbor’s growing [^Lthe standing] grain or grain that has been stacked, or if it burns his whole field, the person who started the fire must pay ·for what was burned [full restitution].

⁷ “Suppose a man gives his neighbor money or other things ·to keep for him [for safekeeping] and those things are stolen from the neighbor’s house. If the thief is caught, he must pay back twice as much as he stole. ⁸ But if the thief is never ·found [caught], the owner of the house must ·make a promise [^Lbe brought] before ·God [or the judges] that he has not ·stolen [^Lsent out his hand toward] his neighbor’s things.
