Exodus 22:9

Easy To Read Version

“What should you do if two men disagree about a bull or a donkey or sheep or clothing or something that is lost. One man says, ‘This is mine,’ and the other says, ‘No, it is mine.’ Both men should go before God. God will decide who is guilty. The person who was wrong must pay the other man twice as much as the thing is worth.
