When a man giveth unto his neighbour silver or jewelry, to keep, and it is stolen out of the house of the man:

if the thief be found, he shall give in restitution double, if the thief be not found, then shall the owner of the house be brought near unto God to swear that he hath not laid his hand on the property of his neighbour.

For any affair of trespass - for an ox, for an ass, for a sheep, for a mantle for anything lost as to which one could say - This is it, unto God, shall come the affair of them both, - he whom God shall condemn, shall make restitution of double to his neighbour.

When a man delivereth unto his neighbour, an ass, or an ox or a sheep, or any beast, to keep, - and it dieth or is fractured, or is driven away, no one beholding,

the oath of Yahweh, shall come between them both, That he hath not laid his hand on the property of his neighbour, - then shall the owner thereof accept it and he shall not make restitution.

But, if it be verily stolen, from him, he shall make restitution to the owner thereof.

If it be, verily torn in pieces, he shall bring it in as a witness - for that which was torn, he shall not make restitution.

And when a man asketh aught of his neighbour, and it is fractured or dieth, its owner, not being with it, he shall, surely make restitution.

If, its owner, was with it, he shall not make restitution, - if it is, hired, it cometh into its hire.
