Éxodo 22:7

Listen to Éxodo 22:7
7 »Supongamos que alguien entrega dinero o bienes a un vecino para que se los guarde en un lugar seguro, y al vecino se los roban de su casa. Si se atrapa al ladrón, la compensación consistirá en el doble del valor de lo robado.

Éxodo 22:7 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 22:7

If a man shall deliver unto his neighbour money or stock to
keep
Without any reward for keeping it, as the Targum of Jonathan; and so other Jewish writers F16 understand this passage of such as keep a deposit freely, having nothing for it; whether it be money or goods, gold, silver, jewels, raiment, household stuff or any kind of vessels or instruments used in the house, or in trade; and also cattle, as appears from ( Exodus 22:9 )

and if it be stolen out of the man's house;
into whose custody it was delivered:

if the thief be found, let him pay double: the worth of what is stolen,
agreeably to the law in ( Exodus 22:4 ) that is, if it was found in his hands; but if he had disposed of it, then he was to pay five fold or four fold, as in ( Exodus 22:1 ) , and so runs the Jewish canon F17,

``if anyone delivers to his neighbour a beast or vessels, and they are stolen or lost, he shall make restitution; but if he will not swear, for they say, one that keeps for nothing, may swear and be free; then if the thief should be found he shall pay double; if he has killed or sold, he shall pay four fold or five fold: to whom shall he pay? to him with whom the depositum is: if he swears, and will not pay, and the thief is found, he shall pay double; if he has killed or sold he shall pay four fold and five fold: to whom shall he pay? to the owner of the depositum.''

Éxodo 22:7 In-Context

5 »Si un animal pasta en un campo o en un viñedo, y el dueño deja que se meta a pastar en el campo de otro, el dueño del animal tendrá que compensar al dueño del campo con lo mejor de su cosecha de grano o de uvas.
6 »Si alguien prende fuego a espinos y el fuego se sale de control y se extiende al campo de un vecino, y por lo tanto, destruye las gavillas de grano o lo que está por cosecharse o todos los cultivos, el que encendió el fuego tendrá que pagar por la cosecha perdida.
7 »Supongamos que alguien entrega dinero o bienes a un vecino para que se los guarde en un lugar seguro, y al vecino se los roban de su casa. Si se atrapa al ladrón, la compensación consistirá en el doble del valor de lo robado.
8 Pero si no se encuentra al ladrón, el vecino tendrá que presentarse ante Dios, y él determinará
si el vecino es quien robó los bienes.
9 »Supongamos que hay un pleito entre dos personas, y ambas afirman ser dueñas de cierto buey o burro, cierta oveja o prenda de vestir, o algún objeto perdido. Ambas partes tendrán que presentarse ante Dios, y la persona a quien Dios declare
culpable tendrá que pagarle el doble al otro.
