Exodus 22:7-15 - Laws About Personal Property

7 If a man shall give to his friend silver or vessels to watch, and it was stolen out of the man's house, if the thief shall be found he shall recompense double. 8 If the thief shall not be found, and the lord of the house being brought to God, if he put not forth his hand upon his friend's goods. 9 For every word of transgression, for ox, for ass, for sheep, for garment, for every loss which if this say is his: to God the word of both of them shall come; whom God shall condemn, he shall recompense double to his friend.

10 If a man shall give to his friend an ass or ox or sheep or all cattle to watch; and it died, or being broken or being taken captive, not being seen: 11 An oath of Jehovah shall be between them both if he put not forth his hand to his friend's goods; and its lord shall take and he shall not recompense. 12 And if stealing, it shall be stolen from him, he shall recompense to his lord. 13 If tearing in pieces, it shall be torn in pieces, he shall bring it a witness; the torn in pieces he shall not recompense.

14 And if a man shall ask from his friend, and being broken or dying, its lord not with it, recompensing, he shall recompense. 15 If its lord be with it, he shall not recompense: if hired, it came for its hire.
