13
But if it has been damaged by a beast, and he is able to make this clear, he will not have to make payment for what was damaged.
Exodus 22:13
Arcana Coelestia #9173
9173. He shall not repay that which was torn. That this signifies no penalty, that is, for the injury done without fault, is evident from the signification of “torn,” as being injury without fault (as just above, n. 9171); and from the signification of “repaying,” as being the penalty (n. 9102), here no penalty, because it is said “he shall not repay.”
