Exodus 22:1-15

Exodus 22:1-15

[1] If a man  shall steal  an ox,  or a sheep,  and kill  it, or sell  it; he shall restore  five  oxen  for an ox,  and four  sheep  for a sheep.  [2] If a thief  be found  breaking up,  and be smitten  that he die,  there shall no blood  be shed for him. [3] If the sun  be risen  upon him, there shall be blood  shed for him; for he should make full  if he have nothing, then he shall be sold  for his theft.  [4] If the theft  be certainly  in his hand  alive,  whether it be ox,  or ass,  or sheep;  he shall restore  double.  [5] If a man  shall cause a field  or vineyard  to be eaten,  and shall put  in his beast,  and shall feed  in another man's  field;  of the best  of his own field,  and of the best  of his own vineyard,  shall he make restitution.  [6] If fire  break out,  and catch  in thorns,  so that the stacks of corn,  or the standing corn,  or the field,  be consumed  therewith; he that kindled  the fire  shall surely  [7] If a man  shall deliver  unto his neighbour  money  or stuff  to keep,  and it be stolen  out of the man's  house;  if the thief  be found,  let him pay  double.  [8] If the thief  be not  found,  then the master  of the house  shall be brought  unto the judges,  to see whether he have put  his hand  unto his neighbour's  goods.  [9] For all manner  of trespass,  whether it be for ox,  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;  shall condemn,  he shall pay  double  unto his neighbour.  [10] If a man  deliver  unto his neighbour  an ass,  or an ox,  or a sheep,  or any beast,  to keep;  and it die,  or be hurt,  or driven away,  no man seeing  [11] Then shall an oath  of the LORD  be between them both,  that he hath not put  his hand  unto his neighbour's  goods;  and the owner  of it shall accept  thereof, and he shall not make it good.  [12] And if it be stolen  from him, he shall make restitution  unto the owner  [13] If it be torn in pieces,  then let him bring  it for witness,  and he shall not make good  that which was torn.  [14] And if a man  borrow  ought of his neighbour,  and it be hurt,  or die,  the owner  thereof being not with it,  he shall surely  [15] But if the owner  thereof be with it, he shall not make it good:  if it be an hired  thing, it came  for his hire.
