Exodus 22
1. If a man shall steal * an ox, or a sheep, and kill * it, or sell * it; he shall restore * five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep.
2. If a thief be found * breaking up, and be smitten * that he die * , there shall no blood be shed for him.
3. If the sun be risen * upon him, there shall be blood shed for him; for he should make full * restitution * ; if he have nothing, then he shall be sold * for his theft.
4. If the theft be certainly * found * in his hand alive, whether it be ox, or ass, or sheep; he shall restore * double.
5. If a man shall cause a field or vineyard to be eaten * , and shall put * in his beast, and shall feed * in another man's field; of the best of his own field, and of the best of his own vineyard,shall he make restitution * .
6. If fire break out * , and catch * in thorns, so that the stacks of corn, or the standing corn, or the field, be consumed * therewith; he that kindled * the fire shall surely * make restitution * .
7. If a man shall deliver * unto his neighbour money or stuff to keep * , and it be stolen * out of the man's house; if the thief be found * , let him pay * double.
8. If the thief be not found * , then the master of the house shall be brought * unto the judges, to see whether he have put * his hand unto his neighbour's goods.
9. For all manner of trespass, whether it be for ox, for ass, for sheep, for raiment, or for any manner of lost thing, which another challengeth * to be his, the cause of both parties shall come * before the judges; and whom the judges shall condemn * , he shall pay * double unto his neighbour.
10. If a man deliver * unto his neighbour an ass, or an ox, or a sheep, or any beast, to keep * ; and it die * , or be hurt * , or driven away * , no man seeing * it:
11. Then shall an oath of the LORD be between them both, that he hath not put * his hand unto his neighbour's goods; and the owner of it shall accept * thereof, and he shall not make it good * .
12. And if it be stolen * from him, he shall make restitution * unto the owner thereof.
13. If it be torn in pieces * ,then let him bring * it for witness,and he shall not make good * that which was torn.
14. And if a man borrow * ought of his neighbour, and it be hurt * , or die * , the owner thereof being not with it, he shall surely * make it good * .
15. 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.
16. And if a man entice * a maid that is not betrothed * , and lie * with her, he shall surely * endow * her to be his wife.
17. If her father utterly * refuse * to give * her unto him, he shall pay * money according to the dowry of virgins.
18. Thou shalt not suffer a witch * to live * .
19. Whosoever lieth * with a beast shall surely * be put to death * .
20. He that sacrificeth * unto any god,save unto the LORD only, he shall be utterly destroyed * .
21. Thou shalt neither vex * a stranger,nor oppress * him: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
22. Ye shall not afflict * any widow, or fatherless child.
23. If thou afflict * them in any wise * , and they cry * at all * unto me, I will surely * hear * their cry;
24. And my wrath shall wax hot * , and I will kill * you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.
25. If thou lend * money to any of my people that is poor by thee, thou shalt not be to him as an usurer * , neither shalt thou lay * upon him usury.
26. If thou at all * take * thy neighbour's raiment to pledge * , thou shalt deliver * it unto him by that the sun goeth down * :
27. For that is his covering only, it is his raiment for his skin: wherein shall he sleep * ? and it shall come to pass, when he crieth * unto me, that I will hear * ; for I am gracious.
28. Thou shalt not revile * the gods, nor curse * the ruler of thy people.
29. Thou shalt not delay * to offer the first of thy ripe fruits, and of thy liquors: the firstborn of thy sons shalt thou give * unto me.
30. Likewise shalt thou do * with thine oxen, and with thy sheep: seven days it shall be with his dam; on the eighth day thou shalt give * it me.
31. And ye shall be holy men unto me: neither shall ye eat * any flesh that is torn of beasts in the field; ye shall cast * it to the dogs.
