7“1IfH3588 someoneH376 givesH5414 his neighborH7453 moneyH3701 orH176 goodsH3627 to keepH8104 for him and it is stolenH1589 from the 2neighbor’sH376 houseH1004, ifH518 the thiefH1590 is 3caughtH4672, then the thief shall payH7999 doubleH8147. 8IfH518 the thiefH1590 is not 4caughtH4672, then the ownerH1167 of the houseH1004 shall 5appearH7126 beforeH413 67the judgesH430, to determine whetherH518H3808 he 8laidH7971 his handsH3027 on his neighbor’sH7453 propertyH4399. 9For everyH3605 9breachH6588 ofH6588 trustH6588, whether it is for oxH7794, for donkeyH2543, for sheepH7716, for clothingH8008, or for anyH3605 lostH9 thingH9 about whichH834 one saysH559, ‘ThisH2088 is it,’ the 10caseH1697 of bothH8147 parties shall comeH935 beforeH5704 1112the judgesH430; he whomH834 13the judgesH430 condemnH7561 shall payH7999 doubleH8147 to his neighborH7453.

10“IfH3588 someoneH376 givesH5414 his neighborH7453 a donkeyH2543, an oxH7794, a sheepH7716, orH176 anyH3605 animalH929 to keepH8104 for him, and it diesH4191 orH176 is injuredH7665 orH176 is drivenH7617 awayH7617 while noH369 oneH369 is lookingH7200, 11an 14oathH7621 before the LordH3068 shall be 15takenH1961 by the twoH8147 of them 16that he has not 17laidH7971 a handH3027 on his neighbor’sH7453 propertyH4399; and its ownerH1167 shall acceptH3947 it, and he shall not be compelled to makeH7999 restitutionH7999. 12But ifH518 it is actuallyH1589 stolenH1589 from him, he shall makeH7999 restitutionH7999 to its ownerH1167. 13IfH518 it is all tornH2963 toH2963 piecesH2963, have him bringH935 it as evidenceH5707; he shall not be compelled to makeH7999 restitutionH7999 for what has been tornH2966 to pieces.

14“And ifH3588 someoneH376 18borrowsH7592 an animal from his neighborH7453, and it is injuredH7665 orH176 diesH4191 while its ownerH1167 is not with it, he shall makeH7999 fullH7999 restitutionH7999. 15IfH518 its ownerH1167 is with it, the borrower shall not be compelled to makeH7999 restitutionH7999. IfH518 it is hiredH7916, it 19cameH935 by its hireH7939.

16“20IfH3588 a manH376 seducesH6601 a virginH1330 whoH834 is not 21betrothedH781 and sleepsH7901 with her, he must payH4117 aH4117 22dowryH4117 for her to be his wifeH802. 17IfH518 her fatherH1 absolutelyH3985 refusesH3985 to giveH5414 her to him, he shall 23payH8254 moneyH3701 equal to the 24dowryH4119 for virginsH1330.

18“You shall not allow a 25sorceressH3784 to liveH2421.

19“26WhoeverH3605 hasH7901 sexualH7901 intercourseH7901 with an animalH929 mustH4191 be putH4191 toH4191 deathH4191.

20“27He who sacrificesH2076 to 28any godH430, otherH1115 thanH1115 to the LordH3068 aloneH905, shall be 29utterlyH2763 destroyedH2763.

21“30You shall not oppressH3238 a strangerH1616 nor tormentH3905 him, for you were strangersH1616 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 2231You shall not oppressH6031 anyH3605 widowH490 or orphanH3490. 23IfH518 you oppressH6031 him atH6031 allH6031, and 32ifH518 he does cryH6817 outH6817 to Me, 33I will assuredlyH8085 hearH8085 his cryH6818; 24and My angerH639 will be kindledH2734, and I will killH2026 you with the swordH2719, 34and your wivesH802 shall becomeH1961 widowsH490 and your childrenH1121 fatherlessH3490.

25“35IfH518 you lendH3867 moneyH3701 to My peopleH5971, to the poorH6041 36amongH5973 you, you are not to 37actH1961 as a creditorH5383 to him; you shall not 38chargeH7760H5921 him 39interestH5392. 26IfH518 you everH2254 seizeH2254 your neighbor’sH7453 cloakH8008 40asH2254 aH2254 pledgeH2254, you are to returnH7725 it to him beforeH5704 the sunH8121 setsH935,
