⁷ “When a man gives his neighbor money or goods for safekeeping and it’s stolen from the neighbor’s house, the thief, if found, is to repay double. ⁸ If the thief is not found, the owner of the house is to appear before the judges^[a] to see^[b] whether or not the thief took^[c] his neighbor’s property.

⁹ “In every ownership dispute^[d] involving an ox, donkey, sheep, garment, or anything that is lost where a person says, ‘This is mine,’^[e] the case between the two of them is to come before the judges,^[f] and the one that the judges^[g] declare guilty is to repay double to his neighbor.

¹⁰ “When a man gives a donkey, ox, sheep, or any animal to his neighbor for safe keeping, and it dies or is injured or is driven away when no one is looking, ¹¹ the two of them are to take an oath in the Lord’s presence that the accused^[h] has not taken^[i] his neighbor’s property. Its owner is to accept this, and the neighbor^[j] is not to make restitution. ¹² But if it was actually stolen from him, the neighbor^[k] is to make restitution to its owner. ¹³ If it was torn to pieces, let the neighbor^[l] bring the remains^[m] as evidence, and he is not to make restitution for what was torn apart.

¹⁴ “When a man borrows^[n] an animal from his neighbor, and it’s injured or dies while its owner was not with it, he is certainly to make restitution. ¹⁵ If its owner was with it, he is not to make restitution. If it was hired, its fee covers the loss.”^[o]
