Baba Kama 9:4-5

Baba Kama 9:4

If a person gives wool to a dyer and it gets burned in the pot, the dyer must pay the customer the value of the wool. If the dyer dyes the wool using an inferior dye, they calculate the amount that the value of the wool has gone up and the cost of dyeing it; the customer then pays the dyer the smaller of these two amounts. If the dyer was supposed to dye the wool red but he dyed it black, or vice versa, Rabbi Meir says the dyer pays the customer the cost of the wool and Rabbi Yehuda says they calculate the amount that the value of the wool has gone up and the cost of dyeing it, the customer paying the dyer the smaller of these two amounts.

Baba Kama 9:5

If one person steals something worth at least a prutah (a small denomination of coin) from another person and the accused swears (falsely) in court that he did not do so, he must return the stolen object to the owner even if it means traveling as far as Media (which is in Iran, some 1,200 miles away from Israel). The thief may not give the item to the owner’s son, nor to the court. If the rightful owner died, the thief must deliver the stolen item to the owner’s heirs.
