Exodus 22:7-26

7— If a man deliver unto his neighbour money or stuff to keep, and it be stolen out of the man's house; if the thief be found, let him restore double;

8if the thief be not found, the master of the house shall be brought before the judges, [to see] if he has not put his hand unto his neighbour's goods.

9As to all manner of fraud, — as to ox, as to ass, as to sheep, as to clothing, as to everything lost, of which [a man] saith, It is this — the cause of both parties shall come before the judges: he whom the judges shall condemn shall restore double to his neighbour.

10If a man deliver unto his neighbour an ass, or an ox, or a sheep, or any cattle, to keep, and it die, or be hurt, or driven away, and no man see [it],

11an oath of Jehovah shall be between them both, that he hath not put his hand unto his neighbour's goods; and the owner of it shall accept it, and he shall not make [it] good.

12But if it have been stolen from him, he shall make [it] good unto its owner.

13If it have been torn in pieces, let him bring it [as] witness: he shall not make good what was torn.

14— And if a man borrow anything of his neighbour, and it be hurt, or die, its owner not being with it, he shall fully make it good;

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 seduce a virgin that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall certainly endow her, to be his wife.

17If her father utterly refuse to give her unto him, he shall weigh money according to the dowry of virgins.

18— Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.

19— Every one that lieth with a beast shall certainly be put to death.

20— He that sacrificeth to [any] 1god, save to Jehovah only, shall be devoted to destruction.

21Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him; for ye have been strangers in the land of Egypt.

22Ye shall not afflict any widow or fatherless child.

23If thou afflict him in any way, if he cry at all unto me, I will certainly hear his cry;

24and my anger shall burn, and I will slay you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.

25— If thou lend money to my people, the poor with thee, thou shalt not be to him as a usurer: ye shall charge him no interest.

26— If thou at all take thy neighbour's garment in pledge, thou shalt return it to him before the sun goes down;
