What does "Exodus 22:15" mean?
This verse from Exodus 22:15 deals with the responsibility for damage to a borrowed or rented animal. Let's break it down:
"If its owner is with it, he shall not make it good." This part refers to a borrowed animal. If the animal is damaged while the owner is present with the borrower, the borrower is not held responsible for the damage. The logic is that the owner, being present, is assumed to have some responsibility for supervising the animal and preventing the damage.
"If it is a leased thing, it came for its lease." This part refers to a rented animal. The borrower is responsible for the animal regardless of whether the owner is with him. The phrase "It came for its lease" indicates that the borrower took the animal out of his own will, and is therefore responsible for any damage that occurs to it.
