Exodus 22:6

Context

22:6 “If a fire breaks out and spreads 1  to thorn bushes, 2  so that stacked grain or standing grain or the whole field is consumed, the one who started 3  the fire must surely make restitution.

1 tn Heb “if a fire goes out and finds”; NLT “if a fire gets out of control.”

2 sn Thorn bushes were used for hedges between fields, but thorn bushes also burned easily, making the fire spread rapidly.

3 tn This is a Hiphil participle of the verb “to burn, kindle” used substantivally. This is the one who caused the fire, whether by accident or not.
