Exodus 22:7-26

7If a manH376 shall deliverH5414 unto his neighbourH7453 moneyH3701 or stuffH3627 to keepH8104, and it be stolenH1589 out of the man’sH376 houseH1004; if the thiefH1590 be foundH4672, let him payH7999 doubleH8147. 8If the thiefH1590 be notH3808 foundH4672, then the masterH1167 of the houseH1004 shall be broughtH7126 unto the judgesH430, to see whether he have putH7971 his handH3027 unto his neighbour’sH7453 goodsH4399. 9For all mannerH1697 of trespassH6588, whether it be for oxH7794, for donkeyH2543, for sheepH7716, for raimentH8008, or for any manner of lost thingH9, which another challengethH559 to be his, the causeH1697 of both partiesH8147 shall comeH935 before the judgesH430; and whom the judgesH430 shall condemnH7561, he shall payH7999 doubleH8147 unto his neighbourH7453. 10If a manH376 deliverH5414 unto his neighbourH7453 a donkeyH2543, or an oxH7794, or a sheepH7716, or any beastH929, to keepH8104; and it dieH4191, or be hurtH7665, or driven awayH7617, no man seeingH7200 it: 11Then shall an oathH7621 of YhwhH3068 be between them bothH8147, that he hath not putH7971 his handH3027 unto his neighbour’sH7453 goodsH4399; and the ownerH1167 of it shall acceptH3947 thereof, and he shall not make it goodH7999. 12And if it be stolenH1589 from him, he shall make restitutionH7999 unto the ownerH1167 thereof. 13If it be torn in piecesH2963, then let him bringH935 it for witnessH5707, and he shall not make goodH7999 that which was tornH2966.

14And if a manH376 borrowH7592 ought of his neighbourH7453, and it be hurtH7665, or dieH4191, the ownerH1167 thereof being not with itH5973, he shall surelyH7999 make it goodH7999. 15But if the ownerH1167 thereof be with it, he shall not make it goodH7999: if it be an hiredH7916 thing, it cameH935 for his hireH7939.

16And if a manH376 enticeH6601 a maidH1330 that is not betrothedH781, and lieH7901 with her, he shall surelyH4117 endowH4117 her to be his wifeH802. 17If her fatherH1 utterlyH3985 refuseH3985 to giveH5414 her unto him, he shall payH8254 moneyH3701 according to the dowryH4119 of virginsH1330.1

18Thou shalt not suffer a witchH3784 to liveH2421.

19Whosoever liethH7901 with a beastH929 shall surelyH4191 be put to deathH4191.

20He that sacrificethH2076 unto any godH430, saveH1115 unto YhwhH3068 only, he shall be utterly destroyedH2763.

21Thou shalt neither vexH3238 a strangerH1616, nor oppressH3905 him: for ye were strangersH1616 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714.

22Ye shall not afflictH6031 any widowH490, or fatherless childH3490. 23IfH518 thou afflictH6031 them in any wiseH6031, and they cryH6817 at allH6817 unto me, I will surelyH8085 hearH8085 their cryH6818; 24And my wrathH639 shall wax hotH2734, and I will killH2026 you with the swordH2719; and your wivesH802 shall be widowsH490, and your childrenH1121 fatherlessH3490.

25If thou lendH3867 moneyH3701 to any of my peopleH5971 that is poorH6041 by thee, thou shalt not be to him as an usurerH5383, neither shalt thou layH7760 upon him usuryH5392. 26If thou at allH2254 takeH2254 thy neighbour’sH7453 raimentH8008 to pledgeH2254, thou shalt deliverH7725 it unto him byH5704 that the sunH8121 goeth downH935:
