22:7 “If a man gives his neighbor money or articles 1 for safekeeping, 2 and it is stolen from the man’s house, if the thief is caught, 3 he must repay double.
1 tn The word usually means “vessels” but can have the sense of household goods and articles. It could be anything from jewels and ornaments to weapons or pottery.
2 tn Heb “to keep.” Here “safekeeping,” that is, to keep something secure on behalf of a third party, is intended.
3 tn Heb “found.”
