Exodus 22:9Modern English VersionFor any kind of trespass, whether it be for an ox, for a donkey, for a sheep, for clothing, or for any type of lost thing, where another says it is his, the case of both parties shall come before the judges. And whoever the judges find guilty will pay double to his neighbor. See the chapter |
Whenever a case comes before you from your brothers who live in their cities, concerning bloodshed or offenses against law or commandment, against statutes or judgments, you shall warn them, lest they trespass against the Lord and wrath come upon you and your brothers. Do this, and you will not trespass.
