244 - THE LAW OF A BORROWER
Exodus 22:14 -- “And if a man borrows anything from his neighbor, and it becomes injured or dies, the owner of it not being with it, he shall surely make it good.”
“He who borrows a thing keeps it only for his own advantage, whilst the owner lends it to him to oblige him; he is therefore responsible for everything; any loss in the property must be borne by the borrower.”*
* Moreh Nebuchim III, 42
