Exodus 22:7-9
1599 Geneva Bible
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 the double.
8 If the thief be not found, then the master of the house shall be brought unto the [a]Judges to swear, whether he hath [b]put his hand unto his neighbor’s good, or no.
9 In all manner of trespass, whether it be for oxen, for ass, for sheep, for raiment, or for any manner of lost thing which another challengeth to be his, the cause of both parties shall come before the judges, and whom the Judges condemn, he shall pay the double unto the neighbor.
