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
.
If a thief be found
breaking up
, and be smitten
that he die
, there shall no blood
be shed for him.
If the sun be 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 theft be certainly
found
in his hand
alive
, whether it be ox
, or ass
, or sheep
; he shall restore
double
.
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
.
If fire break out
, and catch
in thorns
, so that the stacks of corn
, or the standing corn
, or the field
, be consumed
therewith ; he that kindled
the fire
shall surely
make restitution
.
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
, let him pay
double
.
If the thief be not
found
, then the master
of the house
shall be brought
unto the judges
, to see whether he have put
his hand
unto his neighbour's
goods
.
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 whom the judges
shall condemn
, he shall pay
double
unto his neighbour
.
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 :
Then shall an oath of the LORD
be between them both
, that he hath not put
his hand
unto his neighbour's
goods
; and the owner
of it shall accept
thereof , and he shall not make it good
.
And if it be stolen from him, he shall make restitution
unto the owner
thereof.
If it be torn in pieces, then let him bring
it for witness
, and he shall not make good
that which was torn
.
And if a man borrow
ought of his neighbour
, and it be hurt
, or die
, the owner
thereof being not with it
, he shall surely
make it good
.
But if the owner thereof be with it, he shall not make it good
: if it be an hired
thing , it came
for his hire
.
And if a man entice
a maid
that is not betrothed
, and lie
with her, he shall surely
endow
her to be his wife
.
If her father utterly
refuse
to give
her unto him, he shall pay
money
according to the dowry
of virgins
.
Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live
.
Whosoever lieth with a beast
shall surely
be put to death
.
He that sacrificeth unto any god
, save
unto the LORD
only, he shall be utterly destroyed
.
Thou shalt neither vex a stranger
, nor oppress
him: for ye were strangers
in the land
of Egypt
.
Ye shall not afflict any widow
, or fatherless child
.
If thou afflict
them in any wise
, and they cry
at all
unto me, I will surely
hear
their cry
;
And my wrath shall wax hot
, and I will kill
you with the sword
; and your wives
shall be widows
, and your children
fatherless
.
If thou lend money
to any of my people
that is poor
by thee, thou shalt not be to him as an usurer
, neither shalt thou lay
upon him usury
.
If thou at all take
thy neighbour's
raiment
to pledge
, thou shalt deliver
it unto him by
that the sun
goeth down
:
For that is his covering only, 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
.
Thou shalt not revile the gods
, nor curse
the ruler
of thy people
.
Thou shalt not delay to offer the first of thy ripe fruits
, and of thy liquors
: the firstborn
of thy sons
shalt thou give
unto me.
Likewise shalt thou do
with thine oxen
, and with thy sheep
: seven
days
it shall be with his dam
; on the eighth
day
thou shalt give
it me.
And ye shall be holy men
unto me: neither shall ye eat
any flesh
that is torn of beasts
in the field
; ye shall cast
it to the dogs
.
