Exodus 22:4-9

4If what he stole is actually found alive in his 1possession, whether an ox or a donkey or a sheep, 2he shall pay double.

5“If someone lets a field or vineyard be grazed bare and lets his animal loose so that it grazes in another person’s field, he shall make restitution from the best of his own field and the best of his own vineyard.

6“If a fire breaks out and spreads to thorn bushes, and stacked grain or the standing grain or the field itself is consumed, the one who started the fire must make restitution.

7“3If someone gives his neighbor money or goods to keep for him and it is stolen from the 4neighbor’s house, if the thief is 5caught, then the thief shall pay double. 8If the thief is not 6caught, then the owner of the house shall 7appear before 89the judges, to determine whether he 10laid his hands on his neighbor’s property. 9For every 11breach of trust, whether it is for ox, for donkey, for sheep, for clothing, or for any lost thing about which one says, ‘This is it,’ the 12case of both parties shall come before 1314the judges; he whom 15the judges condemn shall pay double to his neighbor.
