Exodus 22:11

[Then] shall an oath of the LORD be between them both, that he hath not put his hand unto his neighbour's goods; and the owner of it shall accept [thereof], and he shall not make [it] good.

Then shall an oath {H7621} of the LORD {H3068} be between them both {H8147}, that he hath not put {H7971} his hand {H3027} unto his neighbour's {H7453} goods {H4399}; and the owner {H1167} of it shall accept {H3947} thereof, and he shall not make it good {H7999}.

then the neighbor's oath before ADONAI that he has not taken the goods will settle the matter between them -the owner is to accept it without the neighbor's making restitution.

an oath before the LORD shall be made between the parties to determine whether or not the man has taken his neighbor’s property. The owner must accept the oath and require no restitution.

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.
