Exodus 22
1 And if one steal an ox or a sheep, and kill it or sell it, he shall pay five calves for a calf, and four sheep for a sheep.
When a man steals an ox or sheep, and has slaughtered it or sold it, he repays [with] five of the herd for the ox, and four of the flock for the sheep.
2 And if the thief be found in the breach [made by himself] and be struck and die, there shall not be blood shed for him.
If in the breaking through, the thief is found, and he has been struck and has died, there is no blood for him;
3 But if the sun be risen upon him, he is guilty, he shall die instead; and if a thief have nothing, let him be sold in compensation for what he has stolen.
if the sun has risen on him, blood [is] for him, he certainly repays; if he has nothing, then he has been sold for his theft;
4 And if the thing stolen be left and be in his hand alive, whether ox or sheep, he shall restore them two-fold.
if the theft is certainly found alive in his hand, whether ox, or donkey, or sheep—he repays double.
5 And if any one should feed down a field or a vineyard, and should send in his beast to feed down another field, he shall make compensation of his own field according to his produce; and if he shall have fed down the whole field, he shall pay for compensation the best of his own field and the best of his vineyard.
When a man depastures a field or vineyard, and has sent out his beast, and it has pastured in the field of another, he repays [with] the best of his field, and the best of his vineyard.
6 And if fire have gone forth and caught thorns, and should also set on fire threshing-floors or ears of corn or a field, he that kindled the fire shall make compensation.
When fire goes forth and has found thorns, and a stack, or the standing grain, or the field has been consumed, he who causes the burning certainly repays.
7 And if any one give to his neighbour money or goods to keep, and they be stolen out of the man's house, if the thief be found he shall repay double.
When a man gives silver or vessels to his neighbor to keep, and it has been stolen out of the man’s house; if the thief is found, he repays double.
8 But if the thief be not found, the master of the house shall come forward before God, and shall swear that surely he has not wrought wickedly in regard of any part of his neighbour's deposit,
If the thief is not found, then the master of the house has been brought near to God [to see] whether he has not put forth his hand against the work of his neighbor.
9 according to every injury alleged, both concerning a calf, and an ass, and a sheep, and a garment, and every alleged loss, whatever in fact it may be, —the judgement of both shall proceed before God, and he that is convicted by God shall repay to his neighbour double.
For every matter of transgression, for ox, for donkey, for sheep, for raiment, for any lost thing of which it is said that it is his, the matter of them both comes to God; he whom God condemns repays double to his neighbor.
10 And if any one give to his neighbour to keep a calf or sheep or any beast, and it be wounded or die or be taken, and no one know,
When a man gives to his neighbor a donkey, or ox, or sheep, or any beast to keep, and it has died, or has been hurt, or taken captive, [with] none seeing—
11 an oath of God shall be between both, [each swearing] that he has surely not at all been guilty in the matter of his neighbour's deposit; and so his master shall hold him guiltless, and he shall not make compensation.
an oath of YHWH is between them both, that he has not put forth his hand against the work of his neighbor, and its owner has accepted, and he does not repay;
12 And if it be stolen from him, he shall make compensation to the owner.
but if it is certainly stolen from him, he repays to its owner;
13 And if it be seized of beasts, he shall bring him to [witness] the prey, and he shall not make compensation.
if it is certainly torn, he brings it in [as] a witness; he does not repay the torn thing.
14 And if any one borrow [ought] of his neighbour, and it be wounded or die or be carried away, and the owner of it be not with it, he shall make compensation.
And when a man asks for [anything] from his neighbor, and it has been hurt or has died—its owner not being with it—he certainly repays;
15 But if the owner be with it, he shall not make compensation: but if it be a hired thing, there shall be [a compensation] to him instead of his hire.
if its owner [is] with it, he does not repay—if it [is] a hired thing, it has come for its hire.
16 And if any one deceive a virgin that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely endow her for a wife to himself.
And when a man entices a virgin who [is] not betrothed, and has lain with her, he certainly endows her to himself for a wife;
17 And if her father positively refuse, and will not consent to give her to him for a wife, he shall pay compensation to her father according to the amount of the dowry of virgins.
if her father utterly refuses to give her to him, he weighs out money according to the dowry of virgins.
18 You shall not save the lives of sorcerers.
You do not keep a witch alive.
19 Every one that lies with a beast you shall surely put to death.
Whoever lies with a beast is certainly put to death.
20 He that sacrifices to any gods but to the Lord alone, shall be destroyed by death.
He who is sacrificing to a god, except to YHWH alone, is devoted.
21 And you shall not hurt a stranger, nor afflict him; for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.
And you do not oppress a sojourner, nor crush him, for you have been sojourners in the land of Egypt.
22 You shall hurt no widow or orphan.
You do not afflict any widow or orphan;
23 And if you should afflict them by ill-treatment, and they should cry aloud to me, I will surely hear their voice.
if you really afflict him, surely if he cries to Me at all, I certainly hear his cry;
24 And I will be very angry, and will kill you with the sword, and your wives shall be widows and your children orphans.
and My anger has burned, and I have slain you by the sword, and your wives have been widows, and your sons orphans.
25 And if you should lend money to your poor brother who is by you, you shall not be hard upon him you shall not exact usury of him.
If you lend money [to] My poor people [who are] with you, you are not as a usurer to him; you do not lay usury on him;
26 And if you take your neighbour's garment for a pledge, you shall restore it to him before sunset.
if you take the garment of your neighbor in pledge at all, you return it to him during the going in of the sun:
27 For this is his clothing, this is the only covering of his nakedness; wherein shall he sleep? If then he shall cry to me, I will listen to him, for I am merciful.
for it is his only covering, it [is] his garment for his skin; wherein does he lie down? And it has come to pass, when he cries to Me, that I have heard, for I [am] gracious.
28 You shall not revile the gods, nor speak ill of the ruler of your people.
You do not revile God, and you do not curse a prince among your people.
29 You shall not keep back the first fruits of your threshing floor and press. The firstborn of your sons you shall give to me.
You do not delay your fullness and your liquids; you give the firstborn of your sons to Me;
30 So shall you do with your calf and your sheep and your ass; seven days shall it be under the mother, and the eighth day you shall give it to me.
so you do to your ox [and] to your sheep; it is with its mother [for] seven days, on the eighth day you give it to Me.
31 And you shall be holy men to me; and you shall not eat flesh taken of beasts, you shall cast it to the dog.
And you are holy men to Me, and you do not eat flesh torn in the field, you cast it to a dog.
