22:1 If a man will steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it; he will pay five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep.
22:2 If the thief is found breaking in, and is struck so that he dies, there will be no bloodguiltiness for him. 22:3 If the sun is risen on him, there will be bloodguiltiness for him; he will make restitution: if he has nothing, then he will be sold for his theft. 22:4 If the theft is found in his hand alive, whether it is ox, or donkey, or sheep, he will pay double. 22:5 If a man will cause a field or vineyard to be eaten, and will let his beast loose, and it feeds in another man's field; of the best of his own field, and of the best of his own vineyard, he will make restitution. 22:6 If fire breaks out, and catches in thorns, so that the shocks of grain, or the standing grain, or the field are consumed; he who kindled the fire will surely make restitution. 22:7 If a man will deliver to his fellow man silver or stuff to keep, and it is stolen out of the man's house; if the thief is found, he will pay double. 22:8 If the thief is not found, then the master of the house will come near to the gods, [to see] whether he has not put his hand to his fellow man's goods. 22:9 For every matter of trespass, whether it is for ox, for donkey, for sheep, for raiment, [or] for any manner of lost thing, of which one says, This is it, the cause of both parties will come before the gods; he whom the gods will condemn will pay double to his fellow man. 22:10 If a man delivers to his fellow man a donkey, or an ox, or a sheep, or any beast, to keep; and it dies, or is hurt, or driven away, no man seeing it: 22:11 the oath of Yahweh will be between them both, whether he has not put his hand to his fellow man's goods; and its owner will accept it, and he will not make restitution. 22:12 But if it is stolen from him, he will make restitution to its owner. 22:13 If it is torn in pieces, let him bring it for witness: he will not make good that which was torn. 22:14 And if a man borrows anything of his fellow man, and it is hurt, or dies, its owner not being with it, he will surely make restitution. 22:15 If its owner is with it, he will not make it good: if it is rented, it is included in its rental payment. 22:16 And if a man entices a virgin who is not betrothed, and lies with her, he will surely pay a dowry for her to be his wife. 22:17 If her father completely refuses to give her to him, he will pay silver according to the dowry of virgins. 22:18 You will not allow a witch to live. 22:19 Whoever lies with a beast will surely be put to death. 22:20 Whoever sacrifices to the gods will be completely destroyed. 22:21 And a sojourner you will not wrong, neither will you oppress him: for you+ were sojourners in the land of Egypt. 22:22 You+ will not afflict any widow, or fatherless child. 22:23 If you afflict him at all, and he cries at all to me, I will surely hear his cry; 22:24 and my wrath will wax hot, and I will kill you+ with the sword; and your+ wives will be widows, and your+ sons fatherless. 22:25 If you lend silver to any of my people with you who is poor, you will not be to him as a creditor; neither will you+ lay on him interest. 22:26 If you at all take your fellow man's garment for a pledge, you will restore it to him before the sun goes down: 22:27 for that is his only covering, it is his garment for his skin: in what will he sleep? And it will come to pass, when he cries to me, that I will hear; for I am gracious. 22:28 You will not revile the gods, nor curse a ruler of your people. 22:29 You will not delay to offer of your harvest, and of the outflow of your presses. The firstborn of your sons you will give to me. 22:30 Likewise you will do with your oxen, [and] with your sheep: seven days it will be with its dam; on the eighth day you will give it to me. 22:31 And you+ will be holy men to me: therefore you+ will not eat any flesh that is torn of beasts in the field; you+ will cast it to the dogs. |
