Exodus 21:33-Exodus 22:15 - Laws About Restitution
33 "If a man open a well or dig a pit and cover it not, but that an ox or an ass fall therein, 34 the owner of the pit shall make it good and give money unto their master, and the dead beast shall be his.
35 If one man's ox hurt another's that he die: then they shall sell the live ox and divide the money, and the dead ox also they shall divide. 36 But and if it be known that the ox hath used to push in time's past, then because his master hath not kept him, he shall pay ox for ox, and the dead shall be his own."
1 If a man steal an ox or sheep and kill it or sell it, he shall restore five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep. 2 If a thief be found breaking up and be smitten that he die, there shall no blood be shed for him: 3 except the su be up when he is found, then there shall be blood shed for him. A thief shall make restitution: If he have not wherewith, he shall be sold for his theft. 4 If the theft be found in his hand alive - whether it be ox, ass or sheep - he shall restore double.
5 If a man do hurt field or vineyard, so that he put in his beast to feed in another man's field: of the best of his own field, and of the best of his own vineyard, shall he make restitution.
6 "If fire break out and catch in the thorns, so that the stacks of corn or the standing corn or field be consumed therewith: he that kindled the fire shall make restitution.
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.
