Exodus 22
1 If a man takes without right another man's ox or his sheep, and puts it to death or gets a price for it, he is to give five oxen for an ox, or four sheep for a sheep, in payment: the thief will have to make payment for what he has taken; if he has no money, he himself will have to be exchanged for money, so that payment may be made.
If he will steal anyone an ox or a sheep and he will slaughter it or he has sold it five cattle he will repay in place of the ox and four sheep in place of the sheep.
2 If a thief is taken in the act of forcing his way into a house, and his death is caused by a blow, the owner of the house is not responsible for his blood.
If in breaking in he will be found the thief and he will be struck and he will die there not for him [will be] blood.
3 But if it is after dawn, he will be responsible.
If it has risen the sun on him blood [will be] for him certainly he will make restitution if nothing [belongs] to him and he will be sold for theft his.
4 If he still has what he had taken, whatever it is, ox or ass or sheep, he is to give twice its value.
If actually it will be found in hand his the thing stolen from an ox unto a donkey unto a sheep alive twofold he will make restitution.
5 If a man makes a fire in a field or a vine-garden, and lets the fire do damage to another man's field, he is to give of the best produce of his field or his vine-garden to make up for it.
If he will cause to be grazed over anyone a field or a vineyard and he will let go (cattle his *Q(K)*) and it will graze in [the] field of another [person] [the] best of field his and [the] best of vineyard his he will make compensation.
6 If there is a fire and the flames get to the thorns at the edge of the field, causing destruction of the cut grain or of the living grain, or of the field, he who made the fire will have to make up for the damage.
If it will go forth a fire and it will find thornbushes and it will be consumed a heap of sheaves or the standing grain or the field certainly he will make compensation the [one who] kindled the fire.
7 If a man puts money or goods in the care of his neighbour to keep for him, and it is taken from the man's house, if they get the thief, he will have to make payment of twice the value.
If he will give anyone to neighbor his money or articles to keep [them] and it will be stolen from [the] house of the person if he will be found the thief he will make restitution twofold.
8 If they do not get the thief, let the master of the house come before the judges and take an oath that he has not put his hand on his neighbour's goods.
If not he will be found the thief and he will be brought near [the] master of the house to the judges if not he had stretched out hand his on [the] property of neighbor his.
9 In any question about an ox or an ass or a sheep or clothing, or about the loss of any property which anyone says is his, let the two sides put their cause before God; and he who is judged to be in the wrong is to make payment to his neighbour of twice the value.
On every matter of transgression on an ox on a donkey on a sheep on a garment on every thing lost which anyone will say that [is] it this to the judges it will come [the] case of both of them [the one] whom they will condemn as guilty! [the] judges he will make restitution twofold to neighbor his.
10 If a man puts an ass or an ox or a sheep or any beast into the keeping of his neighbour, and it comes to death or is damaged or is taken away, without any person seeing it:
If he will give anyone to neighbor his a donkey or an ox or a sheep and every animal to keep [it] and it will die or it was maimed or it was captured there not [was one who] saw.
11 If he takes his oath before the Lord that he has not put his hand to his neighbour's goods, the owner is to take his word for it and he will not have to make payment for it.
[the] oath of Yahweh it will be between [the] two of them if not he had stretched out hand his on [the] property of neighbor his and he will accept [it] owner its and not he will make compensation.
12 But if it is taken from him by a thief, he is to make up for the loss of it to its owner.
And if certainly it will be stolen from with him he will make restitution to owner its.
13 But if it has been damaged by a beast, and he is able to make this clear, he will not have to make payment for what was damaged.
Certainly [if] it will be torn in pieces he will bring it evidence the torn animal not he will make restitution.
14 If a man gets from his neighbour the use of one of his beasts, and it is damaged or put to death when the owner is not with it, he will certainly have to make payment for the loss.
And if he will ask anyone from with neighbor his and it will be maimed or it died owner its not [was] with it certainly he will make restitution.
15 If the owner is with it, he will not have to make payment: if he gave money for the use of it, the loss is covered by the payment.
If owner its [was] with it not he will make restitution if [was] hired it it came for hire its.
16 If a man takes a virgin, who has not given her word to another man, and has connection with her, he will have to give a bride-price for her to be his wife.
And if he will seduce a man a virgin who not she was betrothed and he will lie with her certainly he will pay [the] bride-price for her for himself to a wife.
17 If her father will not give her to him on any account, he will have to give the regular payment for virgins.
If absolutely he will refuse father her to give her to him silver he will weigh out according to [the] bride-price of virgins.
18 Any woman using unnatural powers or secret arts is to be put to death.
A sorceress not you will let live.
19 Any man who has sex connection with a beast is to be put to death.
Any [one who] lies with an animal certainly he will be put to death.
20 Complete destruction will come on any man who makes offerings to any other god but the Lord.
[one who] sacrifices To the gods he will be dedicated to destruction except to Yahweh to only him.
21 Do no wrong to a man from a strange country, and do not be hard on him; for you yourselves were living in a strange country, in the land of Egypt.
And a sojourner not you must maltreat and not you must oppress him for sojourners you were in [the] land of Egypt.
22 Do no wrong to a widow, or to a child whose father is dead.
Any widow and a fatherless one not you must afflict!
23 If you are cruel to them in any way, and their cry comes up to me, I will certainly give ear;
Certainly [if] you will afflict him that except carefully he will cry out to me certainly I will hear cry of distress his.
24 And in the heat of my wrath I will put you to death with the sword, so that your wives will be widows and your children without fathers.
And it will burn anger my and I will kill you with the sword and they will be wives your widows and children your fatherless ones.
25 If you let any of the poor among my people have the use of your money, do not be a hard creditor to him, and do not take interest.
If money - you will lend to people my the poor [person] with you not you must be to him like a creditor not you must put! on him interest.
26 If ever you take your neighbour's clothing in exchange for the use of your money, let him have it back before the sun goes down:
Certainly [if] you will take as pledge [the] cloak of neighbor your until goes the sun you will return it to him.
27 For it is the only thing he has for covering his skin; what is he to go to sleep in? and when his cry comes up to me, I will give ear, for my mercy is great.
For it ([is] covering his *Q(k)*) to alone it it [is] cloak his for skin his in what? will he lie down and it will be that he will cry out to me and I will hear for [am] gracious I.
28 You may not say evil of the judges, or put a curse on the ruler of your people.
God not you must curse and a leader among people your not you must curse.
29 Do not keep back your offerings from the wealth of your grain and your vines. The first of your sons you are to give to me.
Full produce your and juice your not you must delay [the] firstborn of sons your you will give to me.
30 In the same way with your oxen and your sheep: for seven days let the young one be with its mother; on the eighth day give it to me.
Thus you will do to ox your to sheep your seven days it will be with mother its on the day eighth you will give it to me.
31 You are to be holy men to me: the flesh of no animal whose death has been caused by the beasts of the field may be used for your food; it is to be given to the dogs.
And people of holiness you will be! of me and flesh in the field a torn animal not you must eat to the dog[s] you will throw! it.
