When someone gives money or articles to another for safekeeping and they are stolen from the latter’s house, the thief, if caught, must make twofold restitution.

If the thief is not caught, the owner of the house shall be brought to God, to swear that he himself did not lay hands on his neighbor’s property.

In every case of dishonest appropriation, whether it be about an ox, or a donkey, or a sheep, or a garment, or anything else that has disappeared, where another claims that the thing is his, the claim of both parties shall be brought before God; the one whom God convicts must make twofold restitution to the other.

When someone gives an ass, or an ox, or a sheep, or any other animal to another for safekeeping, if it dies, or is maimed or snatched away, without anyone witnessing the fact, there shall be an oath before the Lord between the two of them that the guardian did not lay hands on his neighbor’s property; the owner must accept the oath, and no restitution is to be made.

But if the guardian has actually stolen from it, then he must make restitution to the owner.

If it has been killed by a wild beast, let him bring it as evidence; he need not make restitution for the mangled animal.

When someone borrows an animal from a neighbor, if it is maimed or dies while the owner is not present, that one must make restitution.

But if the owner is present, that one need not make restitution. If it was hired, this was covered by the price of its hire.
