14. “And when a man borrows from his neighbour, and it is injured or dies while the owner of it is not present, he shall certainly repay.

15. “But if its owner was with it, he does not repay. If it was hired, he is entitled to the hire.

16. “And when a man entices a maiden who is not engaged, and lies with her, he shall certainly pay the bride-price for her to be his wife.
