Exodus 22:10
"For every matter of trespass, whether it is for ox, for donkey, for sheep, for clothing, or for any kind of lost thing, about which one says, ‘This is mine,’ the cause of both parties shall come before God. He whom God condemns shall pay double to his neighbor."
Key Reflection
This verse underscores the seriousness of wronging another, whether through theft or loss, by mandating a public resolution and requiring compensation that reflects the gravity of the offense. By bringing both parties before God, it highlights the divine judgment in resolving disputes and emphasizes the moral responsibility to restore what is lost or stolen.
