    7If the thief is not found, the owner of the house must present himself before God to determine whether he has taken his neighbor’s property.

    8In all cases of dishonest dealings, whether involving an ox, a donkey, a sheep, a garment, or anything lost that someone claims to be theirs, both parties must present their cases before God. The one whom God condemns must pay back double to the other.

    9If a man gives his neighbor a donkey, an ox, a sheep, or any other animal to take care of, and it dies, is injured, or is driven away while no one is watching,

    10the issue between them will be settled by an oath before the Lord that the neighbor has not taken the other’s property. The owner must accept this, and no restitution is required.

    11But if the animal was stolen from the neighbor, restitution must be made to the owner.

    12If it was attacked and torn apart by a wild animal, the neighbor must provide evidence of this, but does not need to pay restitution for the torn animal.

    13If a man borrows an animal from his neighbor and it is injured or dies when its owner is not present, he must make restitution.

    14If the owner is with the animal, the borrower does not need to pay. If it was rented, the payment covers the loss.
