Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 8. - If the thief be not found. - It is not clear what was to be done in this case. Kalisch supposes that it came under the law of the oath (ver. 10), and that if the man entrusted with the deposit swore that he had not embezzled it, he was let go free. But as stolen cattle were to be compensated for to the owner (ver. 12), it would seem to be more consistent that stolen money or chattels should also have been made good.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(8) To see whether he have put his hand.--Kalisch translates, to swear that he has not put his hand, and so the LXX. (??? ???????) and Vulg. (et jurabit quod non extenderit manum).
