Context
5“Kama mtu akichunga mifugo yake katika shamba au shamba la mizabibu, na akawaachia wajilishe katika shamba la mtu mwingine, ni lazima alipe vitu bora kutoka kwenye shamba lake mwenyewe au kutoka shamba lake la mizabibu. 6“Kama moto ukiwaka na kuenea kwenye vichaka vya miiba na kuteketeza miganda ya nafaka au nafaka ambayo haijavunwa, au kuteketeza shamba lote, mtu yule aliyewasha moto lazima alipe. 7“Kama mtu akimpa jirani yake fedha au mali nyingine amtunzie, na kama vikiibwa kutoka nyumba ya huyo jirani, kama mwizi atashikwa, lazima alipe mara mbili. 8Lakini mwizi asipopatikana, mwenye nyumba atafika mbele ya waamuzi ili kuthibitisha kuwa hakuchukua mali ya mwenzake. 9Pakiwepo jambo lolote la mali isiyo halali, ikiwa ni maksai, punda, kondoo, mavazi, ama mali yoyote iliyopotea ambayo fulani atasema, ‘Hii ni mali yangu,’ pande zote mbili wataleta mashauri yao mbele ya waamuzi. Yule ambaye waamuzi watamwona kuwa na hatia atamlipa jirani yake mara mbili.
