Exodus 22
1 If a man shall steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it; he shall restore five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a 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 shall be found breaking through, and be smitten 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 shall have risen upon him, [there shall be] blood [shed] for him: [for] he should make full restitution; if he have nothing, then he shall 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 theft shall be certainly found in his hand alive, whether an 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 shall cause a field or vineyard to be eaten, and shall put in his beast, and shall 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.
'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 fire shall break out, and catch in thorns, so that the stacks of corn, or the standing corn, or the field shall be consumed; 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 shall deliver to his neighbor money or stuff to keep, and it be stolen out of the man's house; if the thief shall be found, let him 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 shall not be found, then the master of the house shall be brought to the judges, [to see] whether he hath put his hand to 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, [whether it be] for ox, for ass, for sheep, for raiment, [or] for any manner of lost thing which [another] challengeth to be his: the cause of both parties shall come before the judges; [and] he whom the judges shall condemn, shall pay double to 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 shall deliver to his neighbor an ass, or an ox, or a sheep, or any beast to keep; and it shall 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 hath not put his hand to his neighbor's goods; and the owner of it shall accept of it, and he shall not make restitution.
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 And if it shall be stolen from him, he shall make restitution to the owner of it.
but if it is certainly stolen from him, he doth repay to its owner;
13 If it shall be torn in pieces; [then] let him bring it [for] witness, [and] he shall not make good that which was torn.
if it is certainly torn, he bringeth it in — a witness; the torn thing he doth not repay.
14 And if a man shall borrow [aught] of his neighbor, and it shall be hurt, or die, the owner of it [being] not 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 of it shall [be] with it, he shall not make [it] good: if it [be] a hired [thing], it came for his 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 shall entice a maid 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 shall utterly refuse to give her to him, he shall pay money according to the dower 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 Whoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death.
'Whoever lieth with a beast is certainly put to death.
20 He that sacrificeth to [any] god, save to the LORD only, he shall be utterly destroyed.
'He who is sacrificing to a god, save to Jehovah alone, is devoted.
21 Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him; for ye were strangers 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 shalt afflict them in any wise, and they cry at all to me, I will surely hear their cry:
if thou dost really afflict him, surely if he at all cry unto Me, I certainly hear his cry;
24 And my wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill 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 shalt lend money to [any of] my people [that is] poor by thee, thou shalt not be to him as a usurer, neither shalt thou 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 shalt at all take thy neighbor's raiment to pledge, thou shalt deliver it to him by the setting of the sun.
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 that [is] his only covering, it [is] his raiment for his skin: wherein shall he sleep? and it shall come to pass, when he crieth to 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 Thou shalt not revile the gods, nor curse the ruler of thy people.
'God thou dost not revile, and a prince among thy people thou dost not curse.
29 Thou shalt not delay [to offer] the first of thy ripe fruits, and of thy liquors: the first-born of thy sons shalt thou give to me.
'Thy fulness and thy liquids thou dost not delay; the first-born of thy sons thou dost give to Me;
30 Likewise shalt thou do with thy oxen, [and] with thy sheep: seven days it shall be with his dam; on the eighth day thou shalt give it to 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 ye shall be holy men to me: neither shall ye eat [any] flesh [that is] torn of beasts in the field; ye shall cast it to the dogs.
'And ye are holy men to Me, and flesh torn in the field ye do not eat, to a dog ye do cast it.
