Exodus 22:17-26

17But if her father refuses to let him marry her, the man must still pay him an amount equal to the bride price of a virgin.

18“You must not allow a sorceress to live.

19“Anyone who has sexual relations with an animal must certainly be put to death.

20“Anyone who sacrifices to any god other than the Lord must be destroyed.

21“You must not mistreat or oppress foreigners in any way. Remember, you yourselves were once foreigners in the land of Egypt.

22“You must not exploit a widow or an orphan.

23If you exploit them in any way and they cry out to me, then I will certainly hear their cry.

24My anger will blaze against you, and I will kill you with the sword. Then your wives will be widows and your children fatherless.

25“If you lend money to any of my people who are in need, do not charge interest as a money lender would.

26If you take your neighbor’s cloak as security for a loan, you must return it before sunset.
