6 “If a fire breaks out and spreads into thornbushes so that it burns shocks of grain or standing grain or the whole field, the one who started the fire must make restitution.
7 “If anyone gives a neighbor silver or goods for safekeeping and they are stolen from the neighbor’s house, the thief, if caught, must pay back double. 8 But if the thief is not found, the owner of the house must appear before the judges, and they must[b] determine whether the owner of the house has laid hands on the other person’s property. 9 In all cases of illegal possession of an ox, a donkey, a sheep, a garment, or any other lost property about which somebody says, ‘This is mine,’ both parties are to bring their cases before the judges.[c] The one whom the judges declare[d] guilty must pay back double to the other.
10 “If anyone gives a donkey, an ox, a sheep or any other animal to their neighbor for safekeeping and it dies or is injured or is taken away while no one is looking, 11 the issue between them will be settled by the taking of an oath before the Lord that the neighbor did not lay hands on the other person’s property. The owner is to accept this, and no restitution is required. 12 But if the animal was stolen from the neighbor, restitution must be made to the owner. 13 If it was torn to pieces by a wild animal, the neighbor shall bring in the remains as evidence and shall not be required to pay for the torn animal.
14 “If anyone borrows an animal from their neighbor and it is injured or dies while the owner is not present, they must make restitution. 15 But if the owner is with the animal, the borrower will not have to pay. If the animal was hired, the money paid for the hire covers the loss.

上帝所頒布的律例中，讓我們看見若有虧欠或侵犯別人，要做一件事就是賠償。然而賠償不只是給等值的東西，還要給得更多與更好，為什麼要這樣做呢？就是要讓彼此復和，所以要多付一些代價，來表達和好的心意。
這也讓我們看見人與人之間，要追求和睦，寧可多賠償一些，也要挽回受害者的心，讓彼此能夠真正的和好，比甚麼事情都重要！這種復和式的條例，對於任何社會都是需要的！
當然上帝親自用耶穌基督的代贖來是我們與上帝和好，更是一個重要「複和」的表現！也因為這樣，我們可以享受到上帝同在的平安之中！
