Primary Verses:
-
Exodus 22:7-11
-
"If a man shall deliver
unto his neighbour money or stuff to keep, and it be
stolen out of the man's house; if the thief be found,
let him pay double. If the thief be not found, then the
master of the house shall be brought unto the judges, to
see whether he have put his hand unto his neighbour's
goods. For all manner of trespass, whether it be for
ox, 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 shall condemn, he shall pay double unto
his neighbour. If a man deliver unto his neighbour an
ass, or an ox, or a sheep, or any beast, to keep; and it
die, or be hurt, or driven away, no man seeing it:
Then shall an oath of
YHVH be between them both, that he hath not put his hand
unto his neighbour's goods; and the owner of it shall
accept thereof, and he shall not make it good."
