New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹⁰ “When someone delivers to another a donkey, ox, sheep, or any other animal for safekeeping and it dies or is injured or is carried off without anyone seeing it, ¹¹ an oath before the Lord shall decide between the two of them that the one has not laid hands on the property of the other; the owner shall accept the oath, and no restitution shall be made.^{(A) 12} But if it was stolen, restitution shall be made to its owner.^{(B) 13} If it was mangled by beasts, let it be brought as evidence; restitution shall not be made for the mangled remains.
