Exodus 22:7-9

New International Version

⁷ “If anyone gives a neighbor silver or goods for safekeeping^(A) and they are stolen from the neighbor’s house, the thief, if caught, must pay back double.^{(B) 8} But if the thief is not found, the owner of the house must appear before the judges,^(C) and they must^[a] determine whether the owner of the house has laid hands on the other person’s property. ⁹ In all cases of illegal possession of an ox, a donkey, a sheep, a garment, or any other lost property about which somebody says, ‘This is mine,’ both parties are to bring their cases before the judges.^[b](D) The one whom the judges declare^[c] guilty must pay back double to the other.
