| 22:1 |
If a man shall steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it; he shall restore five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep.
|
| 22:2 |
If a thief shall be found breaking through, and be smitten that he die, [there shall] no blood [be shed] for him.
|
| 22:3 |
If the sun shall have risen upon him, [there shall be] blood [shed] for him: [for] he should make full restitution; if he have nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.
|
| 22:4 |
If the theft shall be certainly found in his hand alive, whether an ox, or ass, or sheep; he shall restore double.
|
| 22:5 |
If a man shall cause a field or vineyard to be eaten, and shall put in his beast, and shall feed in another man's field: of the best of his own field, and of the best of his own vineyard shall he make restitution.
|
| 22:6 |
If fire shall break out, and catch in thorns, so that the stacks of corn, or the standing corn, or the field shall be consumed; he that kindled the fire shall surely make restitution.
|
| 22:7 |
If a man shall deliver to his neighbor money or stuff to keep, and it be stolen out of the man's house; if the thief shall be found, let him pay double.
|
| 22:8 |
If the thief shall not be found, then the master of the house shall be brought to the judges, [to see] whether he hath put his hand to his neighbor's goods.
|
| 22:9 |
For all manner of trespass, [whether it be] for ox, for ass, for sheep, for raiment, [or] for any manner of lost thing which [another] challengeth to be his: the cause of both parties shall come before the judges; [and] he whom the judges shall condemn, shall pay double to his neighbor.
|
| 22:10 |
If a man shall deliver to his neighbor an ass, or an ox, or a sheep, or any beast to keep; and it shall die, or be hurt, or driven away, no man seeing [it]:
|
| 22:11 |
[Then] shall an oath of the LORD be between them both, that he hath not put his hand to his neighbor's goods; and the owner of it shall accept of it, and he shall not make restitution.
|
| 22:12 |
And if it shall be stolen from him, he shall make restitution to the owner of it.
|
| 22:13 |
If it shall be torn in pieces; [then] let him bring it [for] witness, [and] he shall not make good that which was torn.
|
| 22:14 |
And if a man shall borrow [aught] of his neighbor, and it shall be hurt, or die, the owner of it [being] not with it, he shall surely make [it] good.
|
| 22:15 |
[But] if the owner of it shall [be] with it, he shall not make [it] good: if it [be] a hired [thing], it came for his hire.
|
| 22:16 |
And if a man shall entice a maid that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely endow her to be his wife.
|
| 22:17 |
If her father shall utterly refuse to give her to him, he shall pay money according to the dower of virgins.
|
| 22:18 |
Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.
|
| 22:19 |
Whoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death.
|
| 22:20 |
He that sacrificeth to [any] god, save to the LORD only, he shall be utterly destroyed.
|
| 22:21 |
Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
|
| 22:22 |
Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child.
|
| 22:23 |
If thou shalt afflict them in any wise, and they cry at all to me, I will surely hear their cry:
|
| 22:24 |
And my wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.
|
| 22:25 |
If thou shalt lend money to [any of] my people [that is] poor by thee, thou shalt not be to him as a usurer, neither shalt thou lay upon him usury.
|
| 22:26 |
If thou shalt at all take thy neighbor's raiment to pledge, thou shalt deliver it to him by the setting of the sun.
|
| 22:27 |
For that [is] his only covering, it [is] his raiment for his skin: wherein shall he sleep? and it shall come to pass, when he crieth to me, that I will hear; for I [am] gracious.
|
| 22:28 |
Thou shalt not revile the gods, nor curse the ruler of thy people.
|
| 22:29 |
Thou shalt not delay [to offer] the first of thy ripe fruits, and of thy liquors: the first-born of thy sons shalt thou give to me.
|
| 22:30 |
Likewise shalt thou do with thy oxen, [and] with thy sheep: seven days it shall be with his dam; on the eighth day thou shalt give it to me.
|
| 22:31 |
And ye shall be holy men to me: neither shall ye eat [any] flesh [that is] torn of beasts in the field; ye shall cast it to the dogs.
