Exodus 22:8 - Forerunner Commentary

Exodus 22:8

6 “If fire breaks out and catches in thorns, so that stacked grain, standing grain, or the field is consumed, he who kindled the fire shall surely make restitution.

7 “If a man ^adelivers to his neighbor money or articles to keep, and it is stolen out of the man’s house, ^bif the thief is found, he shall pay double.

8 If the thief is not found, then the master of the house shall be brought to the ^ajudges to see whether he has put his hand into his neighbor’s goods.

9 “For any kind of trespass, whether it concerns an ox, a donkey, a sheep, or clothing, or for any kind of lost thing which another claims to be his, the ^acause of both parties shall come before the judges; and whomever the judges condemn shall pay double to his neighbor.

10 If a man delivers to his neighbor a donkey, an ox, a sheep, or any animal to keep, and it dies, is hurt, or driven away, no one seeing it,

11 then an ^aoath of the Lord shall be between them both, that he has not put his hand into his neighbor’s goods; and the owner of it shall accept that, and he shall not make it good.

12 But ^aif, in fact, it is stolen from him, he shall make restitution to the owner of it.

13 If it is ^atorn to pieces by a beast, then he shall bring it as evidence, and he shall not make good what was torn.
