Exodus 22:7-26

7“If a man gives his neighbor money or articles for safekeeping, and it is stolen from the man’s house, if the thief is caught, he must repay double.

8If the thief is not caught, then the owner of the house will be brought before the judges to see whether he has laid his hand on his neighbor’s goods.

9In all cases of illegal possessions, whether for an ox, a donkey, a sheep, a garment, or any kind of lost item, about which someone says ‘This belongs to me,’ the matter of the two of them will come before the judges, and the one whom the judges declare guilty must repay double to his neighbor.

10If a man gives his neighbor a donkey or an ox or a sheep or any beast to keep, and it dies or is hurt or is carried away without anyone seeing it,

11then there will be an oath to the Lord between the two of them, that he has not laid his hand on his neighbor’s goods, and its owner will accept this, and he will not have to pay.

12But if it was stolen from him, he will pay its owner.

13If it is torn in pieces, then he will bring it for evidence, and he will not have to pay for what was torn.

14“If a man borrows an animal from his neighbor, and it is hurt or dies when its owner was not with it, the man who borrowed it will surely pay.

15If its owner was with it, he will not have to pay; if it was hired, what was paid for the hire covers it.

16“If a man seduces a virgin who is not engaged and has sexual relations with her, he must surely endow her to be his wife.

17If her father refuses to give her to him, he must pay money for the bride price of virgins.

18“You must not allow a sorceress to live.

19“Whoever has sexual relations with a beast must surely be put to death.

20“Whoever sacrifices to a god other than the Lord alone must be utterly destroyed.

21“You must not wrong a foreigner nor oppress him, for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt.

22“You must not afflict any widow or orphan.

23If you afflict them in any way and they cry to me, I will surely hear their cry,

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

25“If you lend money to any of my people who are needy among you, do not be like a moneylender to him; do not charge him interest.

26If you do take the garment of your neighbor in pledge, you must return it to him by the time the sun goes down,
