Exodus 22
Revised Webster's Bible
1If a manH376 shall stealH1589 an oxH7794, or a sheepH7716, and killH2873 it, or sellH4376 it; he shall restoreH7999 fiveH2568 oxenH1241 for an oxH7794, and fourH702 sheepH6629 for a sheepH7716.1 2If a thiefH1590 shall be foundH4672 breaking throughH4290, and be smittenH5221 that he dieH4191, there shall no bloodH1818 be shed for him. 3If the sunH8121 shall have risenH2224 upon him, there shall be bloodH1818 shed for him; for he should make fullH7999 restitutionH7999; if he have nothing, then he shall be soldH4376 for his theftH1591. 4If the theftH1591 shall be certainlyH4672 foundH4672 in his handH3027 aliveH2416, whether an oxH7794, or donkeyH2543, or sheepH7716; he shall restoreH7999 doubleH8147. 5If a manH376 shall cause a fieldH7704 or vineyardH3754 to be eatenH1197, and shall putH7971 in his beastH1165, and shall feedH1197 in another man’sH312 fieldH7704; of the bestH4315 of his own fieldH7704, and of the bestH4315 of his own vineyardH3754, shall he make restitutionH7999. 6If fireH784 shall break outH3318, and catchH4672 in thornsH6975, so that the stacks of grainH1430, or the standing grainH7054, or the fieldH7704, shall be consumedH398; he that kindledH1197 the fireH1200 shall surelyH7999 make restitutionH7999.
7If a manH376 shall deliverH5414 to his neighbourH7453 moneyH3701 or goodsH3627 to keepH8104, and it be stolenH1589 out of the man’sH376 houseH1004; if the thiefH1590 shall be foundH4672, let him payH7999 doubleH8147. 8If the thiefH1590 shall notH3808 be foundH4672, then the masterH1167 of the houseH1004 shall be broughtH7126 to the judgesH430, to see whether he hath putH7971 his handH3027 to 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 he whom the judgesH430 shall condemnH7561, shall payH7999 doubleH8147 to his neighbourH7453. 10If a manH376 shall deliverH5414 to his neighbourH7453 a donkeyH2543, or an oxH7794, or a sheepH7716, or any beastH929, to keepH8104; and it shall dieH4191, or be hurtH7665, or driven awayH7617, no man seeingH7200 it : 11Then shall an oathH7621 of the LORDH3068 be between them bothH8147, that he hath not putH7971 his handH3027 to his neighbour’sH7453 goodsH4399; and the ownerH1167 of it shall acceptH3947 of it, and he shall not make restitutionH7999. 12And if it shall be stolenH1589 from him, he shall make restitutionH7999 to the ownerH1167 of it. 13If it shall 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 shall borrowH7592 any thing from his neighbourH7453, and it shall be hurtH7665, or dieH4191, the ownerH1167 of it being not with itH5973, he shall surelyH7999 make it goodH7999. 15But if the ownerH1167 of it shall be with it, he shall not make it goodH7999: if it be an hiredH7916 thing, it cameH935 for his hireH7939.
16And if a manH376 shall enticeH6601 a maidH1330 that is not betrothedH781, and lieH7901 with her, he shall surelyH4117 endowH4117 her to be his wifeH802. 17If her fatherH1 shall utterlyH3985 refuseH3985 to giveH5414 her to him, he shall payH8254 moneyH3701 according to the dowryH4119 of virginsH1330.2 18Thou shalt not allow a witchH3784 to liveH2421. 19Whoever liethH7901 with a beastH929 shall surelyH4191 be put to deathH4191. 20He that sacrificethH2076 to any godH430, exceptH1115 to the LORDH3068 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 shalt afflictH6031 them in any wayH6031, and they cryH6817 at allH6817 to me, I will surelyH8085 hearH8085 their cryH6818; 24And my wrathH639 shall burnH2734, and I will killH2026 you with the swordH2719; and your wivesH802 shall be widowsH490, and your childrenH1121 fatherlessH3490.
25If thou shalt lendH3867 moneyH3701 to any of my peopleH5971 that is poorH6041 among you, thou shalt not be to him as a money-lenderH5383, neither shalt thou chargeH7760 him interestH5392. 26If thou shalt at allH2254 takeH2254 thy neighbour’sH7453 raimentH8008 to pledgeH2254, thou shalt deliverH7725 it to him byH5704 the settingH935 of the sunH8121. 27For that is his only coveringH3682, it is his raimentH8071 for his skinH5785: what shall he sleep inH7901? and it shall come to pass, when he criethH6817 to me, that I will hearH8085; for I am graciousH2587. 28Thou shalt not revileH7043 the judgesH430, nor curseH779 the rulerH5387 of thy peopleH5971.3 29Thou shalt not delayH309 to offer the first of thy ripe fruitsH4395, and of thy liquorsH1831: the firstbornH1060 of thy sonsH1121 shalt thou giveH5414 to me.45 30LikewiseH3651 shalt thou doH6213 with thy oxenH7794, and with thy sheepH6629: sevenH7651 daysH3117 it shall be with his damH517; on the eighthH8066 dayH3117 thou shalt giveH5414 it to me. 31And ye shall be holyH6944 menH582 to me: neither shall ye eatH398 any fleshH1320 that is torn of beastsH2966 in the fieldH7704; ye shall castH7993 it to the dogsH3611.
