What does Exodus 22:15 mean?
ESV: If the owner was with it, he shall not make restitution; if it was hired, it came for its hiring fee.
NIV: But if the owner is with the animal, the borrower will not have to pay. If the animal was hired, the money paid for the hire covers the loss.
NASB: If its owner is with it, the borrower shall not be compelled to make restitution. If it is hired, it came by its hire.
CSB: If its owner is there with it, the man does not have to make restitution. If it was rented, the loss is covered by its rental price.
NLT: But if the owner was present, no compensation is required. And no compensation is required if the animal was rented, for this loss is covered by the rental fee.
KJV: But if the owner thereof be with it, he shall not make it good: if it be an hired thing, it came for his hire.
NKJV: If its owner was with it, he shall not make it good; if it was hired, it came for its hire.

Book Summary:
The book of Exodus establishes God's covenant relationship with the full-fledged nation of Israel. The descendants of Abraham prosper after settling in Egypt, only to be enslaved by a fearful, hateful Egyptian Pharaoh. God appoints Moses to lead the people out of this bondage. Moses serves as God's spokesman, as the Lord brings plagues and judgments on Egypt, leading to the release of Israel.
