Exodus 22:16-24

16“If a man entices a virgin who is not betrothed, and lies with her, he shall surely pay the bride-price for her to be his wife.

17If her father utterly refuses to give her to him, he shall pay money according to the bride-price of virgins.

18“You shall not permit a sorceress to live.

19“Whoever lies with an animal shall surely be put to death.

20“He who sacrifices to any god, except to the Lord only, he shall be utterly destroyed.

21“You shall neither mistreat a stranger nor oppress him, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.

22“You shall not afflict any widow or fatherless child.

23If you afflict them in any way, and they cry at all to Me, I will surely hear their cry;

24and My wrath will become hot, and I will kill you with the sword; your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.
