Expanded Bible

¹⁰ “Suppose a man ·asks [^Lgives] his neighbor to ·keep [safeguard] his donkey, ox, sheep, or some other animal for him, and that animal dies, gets ·hurt [injured; ^Lbroken], or is taken away, without anyone seeing what happened. ¹¹ ·That neighbor must promise before the Lord [^LAn oath before God will decide] that he did not ·harm or kill [^Lsend his hand against] the other man’s animal, and the owner of the animal must accept ·his promise made before God [the oath]. The neighbor does not have to ·pay the owner for the animal [make restitution]. ¹² But if the animal was stolen from the neighbor, ·he must pay the owner for it [restitutiton must be made to the owner].
