Exodus 22

Revised Version 1895

1IfH518 a manH4191 shall steal an ox, or a sheep, and killH4191 it, or sell it; he shall pay five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep. 2IfH518 the thief be foundH369 breaking in, and be smitten that he die, there shall be noH369 bloodguiltinessH1818 for him. 3IfH518 the sun be risen uponH3027 him, there shall be bloodguiltiness for him: he should makeH3027 restitutionH7999; ifH518 he have nothingH518, then he shall be sold for his theftH1591. 4IfH3588 the theft be found in his hand alive, whetherH176 it be ox, or ass, or sheep; he shall payH7999 double. 5IfH3588 a manH784 shall cause a fieldH7704 or vineyard to be eatenH398, and shall let his beast loose, and it feedH398 in another man’s fieldH7704; of the best of his own fieldH7704, and of the best of his own vineyard, shall he makeH3588 restitutionH7999. 6IfH518 fire break outH413, and catch in thorns, soH5414 that the shocks of corn, or the standing corn, or the field, be consumed; he that kindled the fire shall surelyH3588 makeH5414 restitutionH7999. 7IfH518 a manH1167 shall deliverH7971 unto his neighbour money or stuff to keepH7126, and it be stolen outH7971 of the man’s houseH1004; ifH518 the thiefH1590 be foundH4672, he shall pay double. 8IfH3588 the thief be notH2088 found, then the masterH559 of the house shall comeH935 nearH5921 unto GodH430, to seeH935 whether he have notH2088 putH935 his hand unto his neighbour’s goods. 9For everyH3605 matter of trespass, whetherH176 it be for oxH7794, for ass, for sheepH7716, for raiment, or for anyH3605 manner of lost thingH3588, whereof one saith, This is it, the causeH5414 of bothH3605 partiesH376 shall come beforeH413 GodH5414; he whom GodH5414 shall condemn shall payH5414 double unto his neighbour. 10IfH518 a manH1167 deliverH7971 unto his neighbour an ass, or an ox, or a sheep, or anyH1961 beast, to keepH3947; and it die, or be hurt, or driven awayH7971, noH3808 manH1167 seeing it: 11the oath of the LORD shall be betweenH5973 them both, whetherH518 he hath notH518 put his hand unto his neighbour’s goods; and the ownerH1167 thereof shall accept it, and he shall notH518 make restitutionH7999. 12But ifH518 it be stolen from him, he shall make restitutionH7999 unto the owner thereof. 13IfH3588 it be tornH7665 in piecesH7665, let him bringH4191 it for witness; he shall notH369 makeH3588 good that which was tornH7665. 14And ifH518 a manH7916 borrow aught of his neighbour, and it be hurt, or die, the ownerH1167 thereof notH3808 being with it, he shall surelyH518 make restitutionH7999. 15IfH3588 the owner thereof be with it, he shall notH3808 makeH3588 it good: ifH3588 it be an hired thingH3588, it cameH376 for itsH3588 hire. 16And ifH518 a man entice a virginH1330 that is notH518 betrothed, and lie with herH5414, he shall surelyH518 payH5414 a dowryH4119 for herH5414 to be his wife. 17If her father utterly refuseH3808 to give her unto him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins. 18Thou shalt not suffer a sorceress to live. 19Whosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death. 20He that sacrificeth unto anyH1961 godH3808, save unto the LORD only, shall be utterly destroyed. 21And a stranger shalt thou notH3808 wrong, neitherH3808 shalt thou oppressH6031 him: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt. 22Ye shall notH518 afflictH6031 anyH3588 widow, or fatherless child. 23IfH1961 thou afflict them in anyH1961 wise, and they cry at all unto meH1961, I will surelyH1961 hear their cry; 24and my wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill youH518 with the sword; and your wives shall be widowsH5971, and your children fatherless. 25IfH518 thou lend money to any of my peopleH518 with thee that is poor, thou shalt notH518 be to him as a creditor; neitherH518 shall ye lay uponH935 him usury. 26IfH3588 thou at allH7901 takeH1961 thy neighbour’s garmentH8071 to pledge, thou shalt restore it unto him by that the sun goeth downH7901: 27for that is his only covering, it is his garment for his skin: wherein shall he sleep? and it shall come to pass, when he crieth unto meH3808, that I will hear; for I am gracious. 28Thou shalt notH3808 revile GodH3808, norH3808 curse a ruler of thy peopleH1121. 29Thou shalt notH1961 delay to offerH5414 of the abundance of thy fruits, and of thy liquors. The firstborn of thy sons shalt thou giveH5414 unto meH5414. 30Likewise shalt thou do with thine oxen, and with thy sheep: seven days it shall be with itsH853 dam; on the eighth day thou shalt giveH398 it meH7993. 31And ye shall be holy men unto me: therefore ye shall not eat any flesh that is torn of beasts in the field; ye shall cast it to the dogs.
