Exodus 22
1 And if one steal an ox or a sheep, and kill it or sell it, he shall pay five calves for a calf, 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 And if the thief be found in the breach [made by himself] and be smitten and die, there shall not be blood 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 But if the sun be risen upon him, he is guilty, he shall die instead; and if a thief have nothing, let him be sold in compensation for what he has stolen.
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 And if the thing stolen be left and be in his hand alive, whether ox or sheep, he shall restore them two-fold.
if the theft is certainly found in his hand alive, whether ox, or ass, or sheep — double he repayeth.
5 And if any one should feed down a field or a vineyard, and should send in his beast to feed down another field, he shall make compensation of his own field according to his produce; and if he shall have fed down the whole field, he shall pay for compensation the best of his own field and the best of his vineyard.
'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 And if fire have gone forth and caught thorns, and should also set on fire threshing-floors or ears of corn or a field, he that kindled the fire shall make compensation.
'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 And if any one give to his neighbour money or goods to keep, and they be stolen out of the man's house, if the thief be found he shall repay 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 But if the thief be not found, the master of the house shall come forward before God, and shall swear that surely he has not wrought wickedly in regard of any part of his neighbour's deposit,
'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 according to every injury alleged, both concerning a calf, and an ass, and a sheep, and a garment, and every alleged loss, whatsoever in fact it may be, —the judgment of both shall proceed before God, and he that is convicted by God shall repay to his neighbour double.
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 And if any one give to his neighbour to keep a calf or sheep or any beast, and it be wounded or die or be taken, and no one know,
'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 an oath of God shall be between both, [each swearing] that he has surely not at all been guilty in the matter of his neighbour's deposit; and so his master shall hold him guiltless, and he shall not make compensation.
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 be stolen from him, he shall make compensation to the owner.
but if it is certainly stolen from him, he doth repay to its owner;
13 And if it be seized of beasts, he shall bring him to [witness] the prey, and he shall not make compensation.
if it is certainly torn, he bringeth it in — a witness; the torn thing he doth not repay.
14 And if any one borrow [ought] of his neighbour, and it be wounded or die or be carried away, and the owner of it be not with it, he shall make compensation.
'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 be with it, he shall not make compensation: but if it be a hired thing, there shall be [a compensation] to him instead of 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 any one deceive a virgin that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely endow her for a wife to himself.
'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 And if her father positively refuse, and will not consent to give her to him for a wife, he shall pay compensation to her father according to the amount of the dowry of virgins.
if her father utterly refuse to give her to him, money he doth weigh out according to the dowry of virgins.
18 Ye shall not save the lives of sorcerers.
'A witch thou dost not keep alive.
19 Every one that lies with a beast ye shall surely put to death.
'Whoever lieth with a beast is certainly put to death.
20 He that sacrifices to any gods but to the Lord alone, shall be destroyed by death.
'He who is sacrificing to a god, save to Jehovah alone, is devoted.
21 And ye shall not hurt a stranger, nor afflict 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 hurt no widow or orphan.
'Any widow or orphan ye do not afflict;
23 And if ye should afflict them by ill-treatment, and they should cry aloud to me, I will surely hear their voice.
if thou dost really afflict him, surely if he at all cry unto Me, I certainly hear his cry;
24 And I will be very angry, and will slay you with the sword, and your wives shall be widows and your children orphans.
and Mine anger hath burned, and I have slain you by the sword, and your wives have been widows, and your sons orphans.
25 And if thou shouldest lend money to thy poor brother who is by thee, thou shalt not be hard upon him thou shalt not exact usury of him.
'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 And if thou take thy neighbour's garment for a pledge, thou shalt restore it to him before sunset.
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 this is his clothing, this is the only covering of his nakedness; wherein shall he sleep? If then he shall cry to me, I will hearken to him, for I am merciful.
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 speak ill of the ruler of thy people.
'God thou dost not revile, and a prince among thy people thou dost not curse.
29 Thou shalt not keep back the first-fruits of thy threshing floor and press. The first-born of thy sons thou shalt give to me.
'Thy fulness and thy liquids thou dost not delay; the first-born of thy sons thou dost give to Me;
30 So shalt thou do with thy calf and thy sheep and thine ass; seven days shall it be under the mother, and 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; and ye shall not eat flesh taken of beasts, ye shall cast it to the dog.
'And ye are holy men to Me, and flesh torn in the field ye do not eat, to a dog ye do cast it.
