Exodus 22:6-14

New International Version

⁶ “If a fire breaks out and spreads into thornbushes so that it burns shocks^(A) of grain or standing grain or the whole field, the one who started the fire must make restitution.^(B)

⁷ “If anyone gives a neighbor silver or goods for safekeeping^(C) and they are stolen from the neighbor’s house, the thief, if caught, must pay back double.^{(D) 8} But if the thief is not found, the owner of the house must appear before the judges,^(E) and they must^[a] determine whether the owner of the house has laid hands on the other person’s property. ⁹ In all cases of illegal possession of an ox, a donkey, a sheep, a garment, or any other lost property about which somebody says, ‘This is mine,’ both parties are to bring their cases before the judges.^[b](F) The one whom the judges declare^[c] guilty must pay back double to the other.

¹⁰ “If anyone gives a donkey, an ox, a sheep or any other animal to their neighbor for safekeeping^(G) and it dies or is injured or is taken away while no one is looking, ¹¹ the issue between them will be settled by the taking of an oath^(H) before the Lord that the neighbor did not lay hands on the other person’s property. The owner is to accept this, and no restitution is required. ¹² But if the animal was stolen from the neighbor, restitution^(I) must be made to the owner. ¹³ If it was torn to pieces by a wild animal, the neighbor shall bring in the remains as evidence and shall not be required to pay for the torn animal.^(J)

¹⁴ “If anyone borrows an animal from their neighbor and it is injured or dies while the owner is not present, they must make restitution.^(K)
