7 If a man shall deliver to his neighbor money or stuff to keep, and it be stolen out of the man's house, if the thief be found, he shall pay double. 8 If the thief is not found, then the master of the house shall come near to God, [to see] whether he has not put his hand to his neighbor's goods. 9 For every matter of trespass, whether it be for ox, for donkey, for sheep, for raiment, [or] for any manner of lost thing, of which a man says, This is it, the case of both parties shall come before God.
