Exodus 22:7-15
1599 Geneva Bible
7 ¶ If a man deliver his neighbor money or stuff to keep, and it be stolen out of his house, if the thief be found, he shall pay the double.
8 If the thief be not found, then the master of the house shall be brought unto the [a]Judges to swear, whether he hath [b]put his hand unto his neighbor’s good, or no.
9 In all manner of trespass, whether it be for oxen, for ass, for sheep, for raiment, or for any manner of lost thing which another challengeth to be his, the cause of both parties shall come before the judges, and whom the Judges condemn, he shall pay the double unto the neighbor.
10 If a man deliver unto his neighbor to keep ass, or ox, or sheep, or any beast, and it die, or be [c]hurt, or taken away by enemies, and no man see it,
11 [d]An oath of the Lord shall be between them twain, that he hath not put his hand unto his neighbor’s good, and the owner of it shall take the oath, and he shall not make it good:
12 (A)But if it be stolen from him, he shall make restitution unto the owner thereof.
13 If it be torn in pieces, he shall bring [e]record, and shall not make that good, which is devoured.
14 ¶ And if a man borrow ought of his neighbor, and it be hurt, or else die, the owner thereof not being by, he shall surely make it good.
15 If the owner thereof be by, he shall not make it good: for if it be an hired thing, it [f]came for his hire.
