Exodus 22:10-12

New Catholic Bible

¹⁰ then an oath to the Lord shall be taken between the two parties declaring that the one entrusted with the animal did not lay hands on his neighbor’s property. The owner of the property shall accept this and there shall be no restitution. ¹¹ But if it was stolen while he was present, then he will make restitution to its owner. ¹² If it was torn to pieces, let him bring the pieces as evidence and he shall not pay restitution.
