Exodus 22:7-15 - Laws About Personal Property

7 If a man deliver his neighbor money or stuff to keep, and it be stolen out of his house: If the thief be found, he shall pay double. 8 If the thief be not found, then the goodman of the house shall be brought unto the judges and swear, whether he have put his hand unto his neighbor's good. 9 And in all manner of trespass, whether it be ox, ass, sheep, raiment or any manner lost thing which another challengeth to be his, the cause of both parties shall come before the judges. And whom the judges condemn: the same shall pay double unto his neighbor.

10 If a man deliver unto his neighbor to keep ass, ox, sheep or whatsoever beast it be and it die, or be hurt or driven away, and no man see it: 11 then shall an oath of the LORD go between them, whether he have put his hand unto his neighbor's good, and the owner of it shall take the oath, and the other shall not make it good. 12 If it be stolen from him, then he shall make restitution unto the owner: 13 If it be torn with wild beasts, then let him bring record of the tearing: and he shall not make it good.

14 When a man borroweth ought of his neighbor if it be hurt or else die, and if the owner thereof be not by, he shall make it good: 15 If the owner thereof be by, he shall not make it good, namely if it be a hired thing and came for hire.
