When a man gives silver or vessels to his neighbor to keep, and it is stolen from the man's house, if the thief is found, he shall repay double.

If the thief is not found, the master of the house shall be brought to God, to see whether or not he put out his hand to his neighbor's goods.

In every matter of trespass, for ox, for ass, for sheep, for clothing, for anything lost of which it is said that it is his, the case of both of them shall come to God. Whom God declares guilty, he shall repay double to his neighbor.

When a man gives an ass or an ox to his neighbor; or a sheep, or any animal to keep, and it dies, or is injured, or is captured, no one seeing it,

an oath of Jehovah shall be between them both, that he has not put his hand to his neighbor's goods. And its owner shall take it, and he shall not repay.

And if it is indeed stolen from him, he shall repay to its owner.

If it is completely torn in pieces, he shall bring it as a witness; he shall not repay that which was torn.

And when a man borrows from his neighbor, and it is hurt, or dies, its owner not being with it, paying he shall repay.

If its owner is with it, he shall not repay. If it is hired, it comes for its hire.
