Exodus 22:10-12

International Children’s Bible

¹⁰ “A man might ask his neighbor to keep his animal for him. This animal might be a donkey, ox, sheep or some other animal. And that animal might die, be hurt or be taken away. And no one saw what happened. ¹¹ That neighbor must promise before the Lord that he did not harm or kill the other man’s animal. The owner of the animal must accept his promise made before God. The neighbor does not have to pay the owner for the animal. ¹² But the animal might have been stolen from the neighbor. Then he must pay the owner for it.
