Exodus 22:16-24

16Perhaps a man may meet a young girl who has not had sex with any man before. He might deceive her to have sex with her. If she has not yet promised to marry another man, he must marry her. He must give the right gifts to her parents.

17Her father might refuse to give her to the man to be his wife. But the man must still give the right gifts for a girl who is not married.

18You must punish with death any woman who is a magician.

19You must punish with death anyone who has sex with an animal.

20You must completely destroy anyone who offers a sacrifice to a false god. You must only offer sacrifices to the Lord.

21Never be cruel to a foreign person or give them trouble. Remember that you yourselves lived in Egypt as foreigners.

22Never give trouble to any widow or to any children who have no family.

23If you are cruel to them, I will hear them when they call out to me for help.

24I will be very angry with you. I will kill you in war. Your wives will become widows. Your children will no longer have any family.
