“And if thy brother be not nigh unto thee, or if thou know him not, then thou shalt bring it unto thine own house, and it shall be with thee until thy brother seek after it, and thou shalt restore it to him again.”
If the owner does not reside near you or you do not know who the owner is, you shall bring the animal to your own house, and it shall remain with you until the owner claims it; then you shall return it to the owner — the provision for housing lost animals acknowledges that property reunification may take time; the temporary keeper acts as a guardian of another's possession.
