Exodus 22:8-9

New King James Version

⁸ If the thief is not found, then the master of the house shall be brought to the ^(A)judges to see whether he has put his hand into his neighbor’s goods.

⁹ “For any kind of trespass, whether it concerns an ox, a donkey, a sheep, or clothing, or for any kind of lost thing which another claims to be his, the ^(B)cause of both parties shall come before the judges; and whomever the judges condemn shall pay double to his neighbor.
