Exodus 22:18-31
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.
25IfH518 you lendH3867 moneyH3701 to one of My peopleH5971 among youH5973 who is poorH6041, you must notH3808 actH1961 as a creditorH5383 to him; you are not to chargeH7760H3808 himH5921 interestH5392.
26IfH518 you take your neighbor’sH7453 cloakH8008 as collateralH2254, return itH7725 to him byH5704 sunsetH935H8121, 27becauseH3588 his cloak is the onlyH905 coveringH3682 he hasH1931 for his bodyH5785. What elseH4100 will he sleep inH7901H1961? And ifH3588 he cries outH6817 to MeH413, I will hearH8085, forH3588 IH589 am compassionateH2587.
28You must notH3808 blasphemeH7043 GodH430 or curseH779 the rulerH5387 of your peopleH5971H3808.2
29You must notH3808 hold backH309 offerings from your granariesH4395 or vatsH1831. You are to giveH5414 Me the firstbornH1060 of your sonsH1121. 30You shall doH6213 likewiseH3651 with your cattleH7794 and your sheepH6629. Let them stayH1961 withH5973 their mothersH517 for sevenH7651 daysH3117, but on the eighthH8066 dayH3117 you are to give themH5414 to Me.
31You are to beH1961 My holyH6944 peopleH376. You must notH3808 eatH398 the meatH1320 of a mauled animalH2966 found in the fieldH7704; you are to throwH7993 itH853 to the dogsH3611.
