Oxen » Laws respecting » Straying to be brought back to its owner
“If you meet your enemy’s ox or his donkey wandering away, you shall surely return it to him.
"You shall not see your countryman's ox or his sheep straying away, and pay no attention to them; you shall certainly bring them back to your countryman. "If your countryman is not near you, or if you do not know him, then you shall bring it home to your house, and it shall remain with you until your countryman looks for it; then you shall restore it to him.
