Laws about Personal Property

⁷ “When a man gives his neighbor valuables^[a] or goods to keep, but they are stolen from that person’s house, the thief, if caught, must repay double. ⁸ If the thief is not caught, the owner of the house must present himself to the judges^[b] to determine^[c] whether or not he has taken his neighbor’s property.^{(A) 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,’^[d] the case between the two parties is to come before the judges.^[e] The one the judges condemn^[f] must repay double to his neighbor.
