Exodus 22:7-26
7If a man shall deliver unto his neighborH7453 money or stuff to keep, and it be stolen out of the man’s houseH1004; if the thiefH1590 be foundH4672, he shall pay double. 8If the thief be not found, then the master of the house shall comeH935 near unto GodH430, to see whether he have not put his hand unto his neighbor’sH7453 goods. 9For every matter of trespass, whether it be for oxH7794, for ass, for sheepH7716, for raiment, or for any manner of lost thing, whereof oneH376 saith, This is it, the cause of both parties shall come before God; he whom God shall condemn shall pay double unto his neighborH7453.
10If a man deliver unto his neighborH7453 an ass, or an ox, or a sheep, or any beast, to keep; and it die, or beH1961 hurt, or driven awayH7971, no man seeing it: 11the oath of Jehovah shall be between them both, whether he hath not put his hand unto his neighbor’s goods; and the ownerH1167 thereof shall accept it, and he shall not make restitutionH7999. 12But if it be stolen from him, he shall make restitutionH7999 unto the owner thereof. 13If it be torn in pieces, let him bring it for witness: he shall not make good that which was torn.
14And if a man borrow aught of his neighbor, and it be hurt, or die, the ownerH1167 thereof not being with it, he shall surely make restitutionH7999. 15If the owner thereof be with it, he shall not make it good: if it be a hired thing, it came for its hire.
16And if a man entice a virginH1330 that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely pay a dowry for her to be his wife. 17If her father utterly refuse to give her unto him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.
18Thou shalt not suffer a sorceress to live.
19Whosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death.
20He that sacrificeth unto any god, save unto Jehovah only, shall beH1961 utterly destroyed. 21And a sojourner shalt thou not wrong, neither shalt thou oppress him: for ye were sojourners in the land of Egypt. 22Ye shall not afflictH6031 any widow, or fatherless child. 23If thou afflict them at all, and they cry at all unto me, I will surely hear their cry; 24and my wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall beH1961 widows, and your children fatherless.
25If thou lend money to any of my people with thee that is poor, thou shalt not be to him as a creditor; neither shall ye lay upon him interest. 26If thou at all take thy neighbor’s garmentH8071 to pledge, thou shalt restore it unto him before the sun goeth downH7901:
