Exodus 22

1 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.

If a man shall steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it; he shall pay five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep.

2 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.

If the thief be found breaking in, and be smitten that he die, there shall be no bloodguiltiness for him.

3 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.

If the sun be risen upon him, there shall be bloodguiltiness for him: he should make restitution; if he have nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.

4 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.

If the theft be found in his hand alive, whether it be ox, or ass, or sheep; he shall pay double.

5 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.

If a man shall cause a field or vineyard to be eaten, and shall let his beast loose, and it feed in another man’s field; of the best of his own field, and of the best of his own vineyard, shall he make restitution.

6 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.

If fire break out, and catch in thorns, so that the shocks of corn, or the standing corn, or the field, be consumed; he that kindled the fire shall surely make restitution.

7 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.

If a man shall deliver unto his neighbour money or stuff to keep, and it be stolen out of the man’s house; if the thief be found, he shall pay double.

8 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.

If the thief be not found, then the master of the house shall come near unto God, [to see] whether he have not put his hand unto his neighbour’s goods.

9 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.

For every matter of trespass, whether it be for ox, for ass, for sheep, for raiment, [or] for any manner of lost thing, whereof one saith, This is it, the cause of both parties shall come before God; he whom God shall condemn shall pay double unto his neighbour.

10 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.

If a man deliver unto his neighbour an ass, or an ox, or a sheep, or any beast, to keep; and it die, or be hurt, or driven away, no man seeing it:

11 [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.

the oath of the LORD shall be between them both, whether he hath not put his hand unto his neighbour’s goods; and the owner thereof shall accept it, and he shall not make restitution.

12 And if certainly it will be stolen from with him he will make restitution to owner its.

But if it be stolen from him, he shall make restitution unto the owner thereof.

13 Certainly [if] it will be torn in pieces he will bring it evidence the torn animal not he will make restitution.

If it be torn in pieces, let him bring it for witness; he shall not make good that which was torn.

14 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.

And if a man borrow aught of his neighbour, and it be hurt, or die, the owner thereof not being with it, he shall surely make restitution.

15 If owner its [was] with it not he will make restitution if [was] hired it it came for hire its.

If the owner thereof be with it, he shall not make it good: if it be an hired thing, it came for its hire.

16 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.

And if a man entice a virgin that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely pay a dowry for her to be his wife.

17 If absolutely he will refuse father her to give her to him silver he will weigh out according to [the] bride-price of virgins.

If her father utterly refuse to give her unto him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.

18 A sorceress not you will let live.

Thou shalt not suffer a sorceress to live.

19 Any [one who] lies with an animal certainly he will be put to death.

Whosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death.

20 [one who] sacrifices To the gods he will be dedicated to destruction except to Yahweh to only him.

He that sacrificeth unto any god, save unto the LORD only, shall be utterly destroyed.

21 And a sojourner not you must maltreat and not you must oppress him for sojourners you were in [the] land of Egypt.

And a stranger shalt thou not wrong, neither shalt thou oppress him: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.

22 Any widow and a fatherless one not you must afflict!

Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child.

23 Certainly [if] you will afflict him that except carefully he will cry out to me certainly I will hear cry of distress his.

If thou afflict them in any wise, and they cry at all unto me, I will surely hear their cry;

24 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.

and my wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.

25 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.

If thou lend money to any of my people with thee that is poor, thou shalt not be to him as a creditor; neither shall ye lay upon him usury.

26 Certainly [if] you will take as pledge [the] cloak of neighbor your until goes the sun you will return it to him.

If thou at all take thy neighbour’s garment to pledge, thou shalt restore it unto him by that the sun goeth down:

27 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.

for that is his only covering, it is his garment 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.

28 God not you must curse and a leader among people your not you must curse.

Thou shalt not revile God, nor curse a ruler of thy people.

29 Full produce your and juice your not you must delay [the] firstborn of sons your you will give to me.

Thou shalt not delay to offer of the abundance of thy fruits, and of thy liquors. The firstborn of thy sons shalt thou give unto me.

30 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.

Likewise shalt thou do with thine oxen, [and] with thy sheep: seven days it shall be with its dam; on the eighth day thou shalt give it me.

31 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.

And ye shall be holy men unto me: therefore ye shall not eat any flesh that is torn of beasts in the field; ye shall cast it to the dogs.
