Exodus 22
1 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.
| כִּ֤י יִגְנֹֽב־אִישׁ֙ שֹׁ֣ור אֹו־שֶׂ֔ה וּטְבָחֹ֖ו אֹ֣ו מְכָרֹ֑ו חֲמִשָּׁ֣ה בָקָ֗ר יְשַׁלֵּם֙ תַּ֣חַת הַשֹּׁ֔ור וְאַרְבַּע־צֹ֖אן תַּ֥חַת הַשֶּֽׂה׃ |
2 If in the breaking through, the thief is found, and he has been struck and has died, there is no blood for him;
| אִם־בַּמַּחְתֶּ֛רֶת יִמָּצֵ֥א הַגַּנָּ֖ב וְהֻכָּ֣ה וָמֵ֑ת אֵ֥ין לֹ֖ו דָּמִֽים׃ |
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;
| אִם־זָרְחָ֥ה הַשֶּׁ֛מֶשׁ עָלָ֖יו דָּמִ֣ים לֹ֑ו שַׁלֵּ֣ם יְשַׁלֵּ֔ם אִם־אֵ֣ין לֹ֔ו וְנִמְכַּ֖ר בִּגְנֵבָתֹֽו׃ |
4 if the theft is certainly found alive in his hand, whether ox, or donkey, or sheep—he repays double.
| אִֽם־הִמָּצֵא֩ תִמָּצֵ֨א בְיָדֹ֜ו הַגְּנֵבָ֗ה מִשֹּׁ֧ור עַד־חֲמֹ֛ור עַד־שֶׂ֖ה חַיִּ֑ים שְׁנַ֖יִם יְשַׁלֵּֽם׃ ס |
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.
| כִּ֤י יַבְעֶר־אִישׁ֙ שָׂדֶ֣ה אֹו־כֶ֔רֶם וְשִׁלַּח֙ אֶת־בְּעִירָה (בְּעִירֹ֔ו) וּבִעֵ֖ר בִּשְׂדֵ֣ה אַחֵ֑ר מֵיטַ֥ב שָׂדֵ֛הוּ וּמֵיטַ֥ב כַּרְמֹ֖ו יְשַׁלֵּֽם׃ ס |
6 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.
| כִּֽי־תֵצֵ֨א אֵ֜שׁ וּמָצְאָ֤ה קֹצִים֙ וְנֶאֱכַ֣ל גָּדִ֔ישׁ אֹ֥ו הַקָּמָ֖ה אֹ֣ו הַשָּׂדֶ֑ה שַׁלֵּ֣ם יְשַׁלֵּ֔ם הַמַּבְעִ֖ר אֶת־הַבְּעֵרָֽה׃ ס |
7 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.
| כִּֽי־יִתֵּן֩ אִ֨ישׁ אֶל־רֵעֵ֜הוּ כֶּ֤סֶף אֹֽו־כֵלִים֙ לִשְׁמֹ֔ר וְגֻנַּ֖ב מִבֵּ֣ית הָאִ֑ישׁ אִם־יִמָּצֵ֥א הַגַּנָּ֖ב יְשַׁלֵּ֥ם שְׁנָֽיִם׃ |
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.
| אִם־לֹ֤א יִמָּצֵא֙ הַגַּנָּ֔ב וְנִקְרַ֥ב בַּֽעַל־הַבַּ֖יִת אֶל־הָֽאֱלֹהִ֑ים אִם־לֹ֥א שָׁלַ֛ח יָדֹ֖ו בִּמְלֶ֥אכֶת רֵעֵֽהוּ׃ |
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.
| עַֽל־כָּל־דְּבַר־פֶּ֡שַׁע עַל־שֹׁ֡ור עַל־חֲ֠מֹור עַל־שֶׂ֨ה עַל־שַׂלְמָ֜ה עַל־כָּל־אֲבֵדָ֗ה אֲשֶׁ֤ר יֹאמַר֙ כִּי־ה֣וּא זֶ֔ה עַ֚ד הָֽאֱלֹהִ֔ים יָבֹ֖א דְּבַר־שְׁנֵיהֶ֑ם אֲשֶׁ֤ר יַרְשִׁיעֻן֙ אֱלֹהִ֔ים יְשַׁלֵּ֥ם שְׁנַ֖יִם לְרֵעֵֽהוּ׃ ס |
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—
| כִּֽי־יִתֵּן֩ אִ֨ישׁ אֶל־רֵעֵ֜הוּ חֲמֹ֨ור אֹו־שֹׁ֥ור אֹו־שֶׂ֛ה וְכָל־בְּהֵמָ֖ה לִשְׁמֹ֑ר וּמֵ֛ת אֹו־נִשְׁבַּ֥ר אֹו־נִשְׁבָּ֖ה אֵ֥ין רֹאֶֽה׃ |
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;
| שְׁבֻעַ֣ת יְהוָ֗ה תִּהְיֶה֙ בֵּ֣ין שְׁנֵיהֶ֔ם אִם־לֹ֥א שָׁלַ֛ח יָדֹ֖ו בִּמְלֶ֣אכֶת רֵעֵ֑הוּ וְלָקַ֥ח בְּעָלָ֖יו וְלֹ֥א יְשַׁלֵּֽם׃ |
12 but if it is certainly stolen from him, he repays to its owner;
| וְאִם־גָּנֹ֥ב יִגָּנֵ֖ב מֵעִמֹּ֑ו יְשַׁלֵּ֖ם לִבְעָלָֽיו׃ |
13 if it is certainly torn, he brings it in [as] a witness; he does not repay the torn thing.
| אִם־טָרֹ֥ף יִטָּרֵ֖ף יְבִאֵ֣הוּ עֵ֑ד הַטְּרֵפָ֖ה לֹ֥א יְשַׁלֵּֽם׃ פ |
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;
| וְכִֽי־יִשְׁאַ֥ל אִ֛ישׁ מֵעִ֥ם רֵעֵ֖הוּ וְנִשְׁבַּ֣ר אֹו־מֵ֑ת בְּעָלָ֥יו אֵין־עִמֹּ֖ו שַׁלֵּ֥ם יְשַׁלֵּֽם׃ |
15 if its owner [is] with it, he does not repay—if it [is] a hired thing, it has come for its hire.
| אִם־בְּעָלָ֥יו עִמֹּ֖ו לֹ֣א יְשַׁלֵּ֑ם אִם־שָׂכִ֣יר ה֔וּא בָּ֖א בִּשְׂכָרֹֽו׃ ס |
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;
| וְכִֽי־יְפַתֶּ֣ה אִ֗ישׁ בְּתוּלָ֛ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר לֹא־אֹרָ֖שָׂה וְשָׁכַ֣ב עִמָּ֑הּ מָהֹ֛ר יִמְהָרֶ֥נָּה לֹּ֖ו לְאִשָּֽׁה׃ |
17 if her father utterly refuses to give her to him, he weighs out money according to the dowry of virgins.
| אִם־מָאֵ֧ן יְמָאֵ֛ן אָבִ֖יהָ לְתִתָּ֣הּ לֹ֑ו כֶּ֣סֶף יִשְׁקֹ֔ל כְּמֹ֖הַר הַבְּתוּלֹֽת׃ ס |
18 You do not keep a witch alive.
| מְכַשֵּׁפָ֖ה לֹ֥א תְחַיֶּֽה׃ ס |
19 Whoever lies with a beast is certainly put to death.
| כָּל־שֹׁכֵ֥ב עִם־בְּהֵמָ֖ה מֹ֥ות יוּמָֽת׃ ס |
20 He who is sacrificing to a god, except to YHWH alone, is devoted.
| זֹבֵ֥חַ לָאֱלֹהִ֖ים יָֽחֳרָ֑ם בִּלְתִּ֥י לַיהוָ֖ה לְבַדֹּֽו׃ |
21 And you do not oppress a sojourner, nor crush him, for you have been sojourners in the land of Egypt.
| וְגֵ֥ר לֹא־תֹונֶ֖ה וְלֹ֣א תִלְחָצֶ֑נּוּ כִּֽי־גֵרִ֥ים הֱיִיתֶ֖ם בְּאֶ֥רֶץ מִצְרָֽיִם׃ |
22 You do not afflict any widow or orphan;
| כָּל־אַלְמָנָ֥ה וְיָתֹ֖ום לֹ֥א תְעַנּֽוּן׃ |
23 if you really afflict him, surely if he cries to Me at all, I certainly hear his cry;
| אִם־עַנֵּ֥ה תְעַנֶּ֖ה אֹתֹ֑ו כִּ֣י אִם־צָעֹ֤ק יִצְעַק֙ אֵלַ֔י שָׁמֹ֥עַ אֶשְׁמַ֖ע צַעֲקָתֹֽו׃ |
24 and My anger has burned, and I have slain you by the sword, and your wives have been widows, and your sons orphans.
| וְחָרָ֣ה אַפִּ֔י וְהָרַגְתִּ֥י אֶתְכֶ֖ם בֶּחָ֑רֶב וְהָי֤וּ נְשֵׁיכֶם֙ אַלְמָנֹ֔ות וּבְנֵיכֶ֖ם יְתֹמִֽים׃ פ |
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;
| אִם־כֶּ֣סֶף ׀ תַּלְוֶ֣ה אֶת־עַמִּ֗י אֶת־הֶֽעָנִי֙ עִמָּ֔ךְ לֹא־תִהְיֶ֥ה לֹ֖ו כְּנֹשֶׁ֑ה לֹֽא־תְשִׂימ֥וּן עָלָ֖יו נֶֽשֶׁךְ׃ |
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:
| אִם־חָבֹ֥ל תַּחְבֹּ֖ל שַׂלְמַ֣ת רֵעֶ֑ךָ עַד־בֹּ֥א הַשֶּׁ֖מֶשׁ תְּשִׁיבֶ֥נּוּ לֹֽו׃ |
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.
| כִּ֣י הִ֤וא כְסוּתָה (כְסוּתֹו֙) לְבַדָּ֔הּ הִ֥וא שִׂמְלָתֹ֖ו לְעֹרֹ֑ו בַּמֶּ֣ה יִשְׁכָּ֔ב וְהָיָה֙ כִּֽי־יִצְעַ֣ק אֵלַ֔י וְשָׁמַעְתִּ֖י כִּֽי־חַנּ֥וּן אָֽנִי׃ ס |
28 You do not revile God, and you do not curse a prince among your people.
| אֱלֹהִ֖ים לֹ֣א תְקַלֵּ֑ל וְנָשִׂ֥יא בְעַמְּךָ֖ לֹ֥א תָאֹֽר׃ |
29 You do not delay your fullness and your liquids; you give the firstborn of your sons to Me;
| מְלֵאָתְךָ֥ וְדִמְעֲךָ֖ לֹ֣א תְאַחֵ֑ר בְּכֹ֥ור בָּנֶ֖יךָ תִּתֶּן־לִּֽי׃ |
30 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.
| כֵּֽן־תַּעֲשֶׂ֥ה לְשֹׁרְךָ֖ לְצֹאנֶ֑ךָ שִׁבְעַ֤ת יָמִים֙ יִהְיֶ֣ה עִם־אִמֹּ֔ו בַּיֹּ֥ום הַשְּׁמִינִ֖י תִּתְּנֹו־לִֽי׃ |
31 And you are holy men to Me, and you do not eat flesh torn in the field, you cast it to a dog.
| וְאַנְשֵׁי־קֹ֖דֶשׁ תִּהְי֣וּן לִ֑י וּבָשָׂ֨ר בַּשָּׂדֶ֤ה טְרֵפָה֙ לֹ֣א תֹאכֵ֔לוּ לַכֶּ֖לֶב תַּשְׁלִכ֥וּן אֹתֹֽו׃ ס |
