Primary Verses:
-
Exodus 22:4-9
-
"If
the theft be certainly found in his hand alive, whether
it be ox, or ass, or sheep; he shall restore double.
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. 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 make
restitution. 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.
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. 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; and whom the judges shall
condemn, he shall pay double unto his neighbour."
