Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Exodus 22:10-13

"If a man deliver unto his neighbor an ass, or an ox, or a sheep, or any beast, to keep; and it die, or be hurt, or driven away, no man seeing it: the oath of Jehovah shall be between them both, whether he hath not put his hand unto his neighbor's goods; and the owner thereof shall accept it, and he shall not make restitution. But if it be stolen from him, he shall make restitution unto the owner thereof. If it be torn in pieces, let him bring it for witness; he shall not make good that which... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Exodus 22:13

Exodus 22:13. If it be torn—let him bring it for witness— That is, let him bring what is torn, or what remains of it, in proof of his allegation. Houbigant renders this verse, if it be torn in pieces by wild beasts, he shall bring him to the place where the animal lies, and shall not make restitution: the Hebrew is, he shall bring him a witness. See Amos 3:12. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Exodus 22:7-15

Next we have four cases involving property held in custody. In the Hammurabi Code the penalty for losing or allowing a thief to steal what someone else had committed to one’s trust was death [Note: Ibid., section 9.] as was falsely accusing someone of this crime. [Note: Ibid., section 11.] The Torah required only twofold payment in both situations (Exodus 22:9).Second, if what someone entrusted to his neighbor for safekeeping perished by accident (Exodus 22:10-13) the neighbor was not... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 22:1-31

The Book of the Covenant (continued)1. Four sheep] The larger compensation required in the case of the ox is probably due to the fact that it is an animal used for labour, and of proportionately higher value, therefore, than a sheep: cp. 2 Samuel 12:6. 2. Breaking up] RV ’breaking in.’ 3. If the sun be risen upon him] i.e. if the housebreaking be committed in daylight. The nocturnal burglar is more dangerous and cannot be so easily detected. In a case of daylight robbery it is less necessary to... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Exodus 22:7-13

(7-13) Property deposited in the hands of another for safe keeping might be so easily embezzled by the trustee, or lost through his negligence, that some special laws were needed for its protection. Conversely the trustee required to be safe-guarded against incurring loss if the property intrusted to his care suffered damage or disappeared without fault of his. The Mosaic legislation provided for both cases. On the one hand, it required the trustee to exercise proper care, and made him... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Exodus 22:1-15

6PART III.--RIGHTS OF PROPERTY.Exodus 21:33 - Exodus 22:15.The vital and quickening principle in this section is the stress it lays upon man’s responsibility for negligence, and the indirect consequences of his deed. All sin is selfish, and all selfishness ignores the right of others. Am I my brother’s keeper? Let him guard his own property or pay the forfeit. But this sentiment would quickly prove a disintegrating force in the community, able to overthrow a state. It is the ignoble negative of... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Exodus 22:1-31

6THE LESSER LAW.Exodus 20:18 - Exodus 23:33.With the close of the Decalogue and its universal obligations, we approach a brief code of laws, purely Hebrew, but of the deepest moral interest, confessed by hostile criticism to bear every mark of a remote antiquity, and distinctly severed from what precedes and follows by a marked difference in the circumstances.This is evidently the book of the Covenant to which the nation gave its formal assent (Exodus 24:7), and is therefore the germ and the... read more

CHAPTER 22 Further judgments 1. Concerning theft (Exodus 22:1-5 ) 2. Concerning neglect in case of fire (Exodus 22:6 ) 3. Concerning dishonesty (Exodus 22:7-15 ) 4. Concerning immoralities and forbidden things (Exodus 22:16-20 ) 5. Concerning oppression (Exodus 22:21-28 ) 6. Concerning offerings to God (Exodus 22:29-31 ) These laws need no further comment; they are good and just. The wisdom of them is the wisdom from above. We call attention to Exodus 22:18 : “Thou shalt not suffer... read more
