2 and if thy brother [is] not near unto thee, and thou hast not known him, then thou hast removed it unto the midst of thy house, and it hath been with thee till thy brother seek it, and thou hast given it back to him;
2
If they do not live near you or if you do not know who owns it, take it home with you and keep it until they come looking for it. Then give it back.
