9In any question about an ox or an ass or a sheep or clothing, or about the loss of any property which anyone says is his, let the two sides put their cause before God; and he who is judged to be in the wrong is to make payment to his neighbour of twice the value.
10If a man puts an ass or an ox or a sheep or any beast into the keeping of his neighbour, and it comes to death or is damaged or is taken away, without any person seeing it:
11If he takes his oath before the Lord that he has not put his hand to his neighbour's goods, the owner is to take his word for it and he will not have to make payment for it.
12But if it is taken from him by a thief, he is to make up for the loss of it to its owner.
13But if it has been damaged by a beast, and he is able to make this clear, he will not have to make payment for what was damaged.
14If a man gets from his neighbour the use of one of his beasts, and it is damaged or put to death when the owner is not with it, he will certainly have to make payment for the loss.
15If the owner is with it, he will not have to make payment: if he gave money for the use of it, the loss is covered by the payment.
