Exodus 22:9-11
Holman Christian Standard Bible
9 In any case of wrongdoing involving an ox, a donkey, a sheep, a garment, or anything else lost, and someone claims, ‘That’s mine,’[a] the case between the two parties is to come before the judges.[b] The one the judges condemn[c] must repay double to his neighbor.
10 “When a man gives his neighbor a donkey, an ox, a sheep, or any other animal to care for, but it dies, is injured, or is stolen, while no one is watching, 11 there must be an oath before the Lord between the two of them to determine whether or not he has taken his neighbor’s property. Its owner must accept the oath, and the other man does not have to make restitution.

Exodus 22:9-11
New International Version
9 In all cases of illegal possession of an ox, a donkey, a sheep, a garment, or any other lost property about which somebody says, ‘This is mine,’ both parties are to bring their cases before the judges.[a](A) The one whom the judges declare[b] guilty must pay back double to the other.
10 “If anyone gives a donkey, an ox, a sheep or any other animal to their neighbor for safekeeping(B) and it dies or is injured or is taken away while no one is looking, 11 the issue between them will be settled by the taking of an oath(C) before the Lord that the neighbor did not lay hands on the other person’s property. The owner is to accept this, and no restitution is required.
