Talmud zu Dewarim 22:2
וְאִם־לֹ֨א קָר֥וֹב אָחִ֛יךָ אֵלֶ֖יךָ וְלֹ֣א יְדַעְתּ֑וֹ וַאֲסַפְתּוֹ֙ אֶל־תּ֣וֹךְ בֵּיתֶ֔ךָ וְהָיָ֣ה עִמְּךָ֗ עַ֣ד דְּרֹ֤שׁ אָחִ֙יךָ֙ אֹת֔וֹ וַהֲשֵׁבֹת֖וֹ לֽוֹ׃
Und wenn dein Bruder dir nicht nahe ist und du ihn nicht kennst, dann sollst du ihn zu deinem Haus nach Hause bringen, und es wird bei dir sein, bis dein Bruder es verlangt, und du wirst es ihm wiederherstellen.

Jerusalem Talmud Bava Metzia
MISHNAH: Anything which works and eats85E. g., cattle or donkeys. shall work and eat86While the finder waits for the owner to claim his animal.. What does not work but eats87Any other kind of animal. should be sold because it is said84Deut. 22:2; Sifry Deut. 223., “and return it to him,” plan to return it to him88The find has to be kept in such a way that it can be returned without presenting to its owner a bill for expenses during the waiting period.. What happens with the money? Rebbi Tarphon says, he may use it; therefore if it is lost he is liable for its alienation. Rebbi Aqiba says, he may not use it; therefore if it is lost he is not liable for its alienation.
