Exodus 22:7-15 - Laws About Personal Property

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 to see whether or not the thief took his neighbor's property. ⁹ "In every ownership dispute involving an ox, donkey, sheep, garment, or anything that is lost where a person says, "This is mine,' the case between the two of them is to come before the judges, and the one that the judges 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 has not taken his neighbor's property. Its owner is to accept this, and the neighbor is not to make restitution. ¹² But if it was actually stolen from him, the neighbor is to make restitution to its owner. ¹³ If it was torn to pieces, let the neighbor bring the remains as evidence, and he is not to make restitution for what was torn apart.

¹⁴ "When a man borrows 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."
