Exodus 22
1 If a man steal an ox or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it: five oxen shall he restore for one ox, and four sheep for one sheep.
'When a man doth steal an ox or sheep, and hath slaughtered it or sold it, five of the herd he doth repay for the ox, and four of the flock for the sheep.
2 If a thief be found while breaking in, and be smitten so that he die, there shall no blood be shed for him.
'If in the breaking through, the thief is found, and he hath been smitten, and hath died, there is no blood for him;
3 If the sun be risen upon him, there shall be blood shed for him; he shall make full restitution; if he have nothing, then shall he be sold for his theft.
if the sun hath risen upon him, blood [is] for him, he doth certainly repay; if he have nothing, then he hath been sold for his theft;
4 If the thing stolen be actually found in his hand alive, whether it be ox, or ass, or sheep, he shall restore double.
if the theft is certainly found in his hand alive, whether ox, or ass, or sheep — double he repayeth.
5 If a man cause a field or vineyard to be eaten off, and he let his beasts enter, and they feed in another man's field; with the best of his own field, and with best of his own vineyard, shall he make restitution.
'When a man depastureth a field or vineyard, and hath sent out his beast, and it hath pastured in the field of another, [of] the best of his field, and the best of his vineyard, he doth repay.
6 If a fire break out, and meet with thorns, so that stacks of corn, or the standing corn, or the field, be consumed thereby, he that kindled the fire shall surely make restitution.
'When fire goeth forth, and hath found thorns, and a stack, or the standing corn, or the field, hath been consumed, he who causeth the burning doth certainly repay.
7 If a man do deliver unto his neighbor money or vessels to keep, and it be stolen out of the man's house: if the thief be found, he shall pay double.
'When a man doth give unto his neighbour silver, or vessels to keep, and it hath been stolen out of the man's house; if the thief is found, he repayeth double.
8 If the thief be not found, then shall the master of the house be brought unto the judges, [to swear] that he have not stretched out his hand against his neighbor's goods.
'If the thief is not found, then the master of the house hath been brought near unto God, whether he hath not put forth his hand against the work of his neighbour;
9 For all manner of trespass, for ox, for ass, for lamb, for raiment, or for any manner of lost thing, of which he can say, This is it, before the judges shall come the cause of both parties, and he, whom the judges may condemn, shall pay double unto his neighbor.
for every matter of transgression, for ox, for ass, for sheep, for raiment, for any lost thing of which it is said that it is his; unto God cometh the matter of them both; he whom God doth condemn, he repayeth double to his neighbour.
10 If a man deliver unto his neighbor an ass, or an ox, or a lamb, or any beast, to keep; and it die, or be hurt, or driven away, no man seeing it:
'When a man doth give unto his neighbour an ass, or ox, or sheep, or any beast to keep, and it hath died, or hath been hurt, or taken captive, none seeing —
11 Then shall an oath of the Lord be between them both, that he have not stretched out his hand against his neighbor's goods; and the owner of it shall accept this, and he shall not make it good.
an oath of Jehovah is between them both, that he hath not put forth his hand against the work of his neighbour, and its owner hath accepted, and he doth not repay;
12 But if it be stolen from him, he shall make restitution unto the owner thereof.
but if it is certainly stolen from him, he doth repay to its owner;
13 If it be torn in pieces, then let him bring it as evidence; that which was torn he shall not make good.
if it is certainly torn, he bringeth it in — a witness; the torn thing he doth not repay.
14 And if a man borrow aught of his neighbor, and it be hurt, or die, the owner thereof not being with it, he shall surely make it good.
'And when a man doth ask [anything] from his neighbour, and it hath been hurt or hath died — its owner not being with it — he doth certainly repay;
15 But if the owner thereof be with it, he shall not make it good; if it be a hired thing, the loss is included in its hire.
if its owner [is] with it, he doth not repay, — if it [is] a hired thing, it hath come for its hire.
16 And if a man seduce a virgin that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely endow her to be his wife.
'And when a man doth entice a virgin who [is] not betrothed, and hath lain with her, he doth certainly endow her to himself for a wife;
17 If her father refuse to give her unto him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.
if her father utterly refuse to give her to him, money he doth weigh out according to the dowry of virgins.
18 Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.
'A witch thou dost not keep alive.
19 Whosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death.
'Whoever lieth with a beast is certainly put to death.
20 He that sacrificeth unto any god, save unto the Lord only, shall be utterly destroyed.
'He who is sacrificing to a god, save to Jehovah alone, is devoted.
21 And a stranger thou shalt not vex, and shalt not oppress him; for strangers ye were in the land of Egypt.
'And a sojourner thou dost not oppress, nor crush him, for sojourners ye have been in the land of Egypt.
22 Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child.
'Any widow or orphan ye do not afflict;
23 If thou afflict him in any wise; [for if he cry at all unto me, I will surely hear his cry: ]
if thou dost really afflict him, surely if he at all cry unto Me, I certainly hear his cry;
24 My wrath shall wax hot, and I will slay you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.
and Mine anger hath burned, and I have slain you by the sword, and your wives have been widows, and your sons orphans.
25 If thou lend money to my people, to the poor by thee, thou shalt not be to him as a lender of money; thou shalt not lay upon him usury.
'If thou dost lend My poor people with thee money, thou art not to him as a usurer; thou dost not lay on him usury;
26 If thou take at all thy neighbor's raiment in pledge, thou shalt restore it unto him by the time the sun goeth down;
if thou dost at all take in pledge the garment of thy neighbour, during the going in of the sun thou dost return it to him:
27 For it is his only covering, it is his raiment for his skin; wherein shall he sleep? and it shall come to pass, when he crieth unto me, that I will hear; for I am gracious.
for it alone is his covering, it [is] his garment for his skin; wherein doth he lie down? and it hath come to pass, when he doth cry unto Me, that I have heard, for I [am] gracious.
28 The judges thou shalt not revile; and a ruler among thy people thou shalt not curse.
'God thou dost not revile, and a prince among thy people thou dost not curse.
29 The first of thy ripe fruits, and of thy liquors, shalt thou not delay to offer; the first-born of thy sons shalt thou give unto me.
'Thy fulness and thy liquids thou dost not delay; the first-born of thy sons thou dost give to Me;
30 In like manner shalt thou do with thy ox, with thy sheep; seven days it shall be with its dam; on the eighth day thou shalt give it me.
so thou dost to thine ox, to thy sheep; seven days it is with its dam, on the eighth day thou dost give it to Me.
31 And holy men shall ye be unto me: and flesh that is torn of beasts in the field, shall ye not eat; to the dogs shall ye cast it.
'And ye are holy men to Me, and flesh torn in the field ye do not eat, to a dog ye do cast it.
