Exodus 22:17-26

17If her father absolutely refuses to give her to him, he must pay an amount in silver equal to the bridal price for virgins.

18“Do not allow a sorceress to live.

19“Whoever has sexual intercourse with an animal must be put to death.

20“Whoever sacrifices to any gods, except the Lord alone, is to be set apart for destruction.

21“You must not exploit a resident alien or oppress him, since you were resident aliens in the land of Egypt.

22“You must not mistreat any widow or fatherless child.

23If you do mistreat them, they will no doubt cry to me, and I will certainly hear their cry.

24My anger will burn, and I will kill you with the sword; then your wives will be widows and your children fatherless.

25“If you lend silver to my people, to the poor person among you, you must not be like a creditor to him; you must not charge him interest.

26“If you ever take your neighbor’s cloak as collateral, return it to him before sunset.
