Exodus 22:16-24
16IfH3588 a manH376 seducesH6601 a virginH1330 whoH834 is notH3808 pledged in marriageH781 and sleepsH7901 with herH5973, he must pay the full dowryH4117 for her to be his wifeH802. 17IfH518 her fatherH1 absolutely refusesH3985 to give herH5414 to him, the man still must payH8254 an amount comparableH3701 to the bridal priceH4119 of a virginH1330.
18You must notH3808 allow a sorceressH3784 to liveH2421.
19WhoeverH3605 liesH7901 withH5973 an animalH929 must surely be put to deathH4191.
20If anyone sacrificesH2076 to any godH430 other thanH1115 the LORDH3068 aloneH905, he must be set apart for destructionH2763.1
21You must notH3808 exploitH3238 orH3808 oppressH3905 a foreign residentH1616, forH3588 you yourselves wereH1961 foreignersH1616 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
22You must notH3808 mistreatH6031 anyH3605 widowH490 or orphanH3490. 23IfH518 you do mistreat themH6031, and they cry outH6817 to MeH413 in distressH6817, I will surely hearH8085 their cryH6818. 24My angerH639 will be kindledH2734, and I will killH2026 youH853 with the swordH2719; then your wivesH802 will becomeH1961 widowsH490 and your childrenH1121 will be fatherlessH3490.
