Verse 9
Exodus 22:9
Bible in Basic English
9
In any question about an ox or an ass or a sheep or clothing, or about the loss of any property which anyone says is his, let the two sides put their cause before God (Elohim); and he who is judged to be in the wrong is to make payment to his neighbour of twice the value.
