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 in the breaking through, the thief is found, and he has been struck and has died, there is no blood for him;
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 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;
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 the theft is certainly found alive in his hand, whether ox, or donkey, or sheep—he repays double.
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 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.

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 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.
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 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.
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 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 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;
[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 certainly stolen from him, he repays to its owner;
And if certainly it will be stolen from with him he will make restitution to owner its.
13 if it is certainly torn, he brings it in [as] a witness; he does not repay the torn thing.
Certainly [if] it will be torn in pieces he will bring it evidence the torn animal not he will make restitution.
14 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;
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 its owner [is] with it, he does not repay—if it [is] a hired thing, it has come for its hire.
If owner its [was] with it not he will make restitution if [was] hired it it came for hire its.
16 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;
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 utterly refuses to give her to him, he weighs out money according to the dowry of virgins.

And a sojourner not you must maltreat and not you must oppress him for sojourners you were in [the] land of Egypt.
22 You do not afflict any widow or orphan;
Any widow and a fatherless one not you must afflict!
23 if you really afflict him, surely if he cries to Me at all, I certainly hear his cry;
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 My anger has burned, and I have slain you by the sword, and your wives have been widows, and your sons orphans.
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 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 if you take the garment of your neighbor in pledge at all, you return it to him during the going in of the sun:
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 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.

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 And you are holy men to Me, and you do not eat flesh torn in the field, you cast it to a dog.
