Exodus 22:7-26

7“When a man gives his neighbor valuables or goods to keep, but they are stolen from that person’s house, the thief, if caught, must repay double.

8If the thief is not caught, the owner of the house must present himself to the judges to determine whether or not he has taken his neighbor’s property.

9In any case of wrongdoing involving an ox, a donkey, a sheep, a garment, or anything else lost, and someone claims, ‘That’s mine,’ the case between the two parties is to come before the judges. The one the judges condemn must repay double to his neighbor.

10“When a man gives his neighbor a donkey, an ox, a sheep, or any other animal to care for, but it dies, is injured, or is stolen, while no one is watching,

11there must be an oath before the Lord between the two of them to determine whether or not he has taken his neighbor’s property. Its owner must accept the oath, and the other man does not have to make restitution.

12But if, in fact, the animal was stolen from his custody, he must make restitution to its owner.

13If it was actually torn apart by a wild animal, he is to bring it as evidence; he does not have to make restitution for the torn carcass.

14“When a man borrows an animal from his neighbor, and it is injured or dies while its owner is not there with it, the man must make full restitution.

15If its owner is there with it, the man does not have to make restitution. If it was rented, the loss is covered by its rental price.

16“If a man seduces a virgin who is not engaged, and he sleeps with her, he must certainly pay the bridal price for her to be his wife.

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.
