EX-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.

EX-22:2  If a thief be found breaking up, and be smitten that he

die, [there shall] no blood [be shed] for him.

EX-22:3  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.

EX-22:4  If the theft be certainly found in his hand alive,

whether

it be ox, or ass, or sheep; he shall restore double.

EX-22:5  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.

EX-22:6  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.

EX-22:7  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.

EX-22:8  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.

EX-22:9  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] whom the judges shall

condemn,

he shall pay double unto his neighbour.

EX-22:10  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]:

EX-22:11  [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.

EX-22:12  And if it be stolen from him, he shall make restitution

unto the owner thereof.

EX-22:13  If it be torn in pieces, [then] let him bring it [for]

witness, [and] he shall not make good that which was torn.

EX-22:14  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.

EX-22:15  [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.

EX-22:16  And if a man entice a maid that is not betrothed, and

lie

with her, he shall surely endow her to be his wife.

EX-22:17  If her father utterly refuse to give her unto him, he

shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.

EX-22:18  Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.

EX-22:19  Whosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to

death.

EX-22:20  He that sacrificeth unto [any] god, save unto the LORD

only, he shall be utterly destroyed.

EX-22:21  Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him:

for ye

were strangers in the land of Egypt.

EX-22:22  Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child.

EX-22:23  If thou afflict them in any wise, and they cry at all

unto

me, I will surely hear their cry;

EX-22:24  And my wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with

the

sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children

fatherless.

EX-22:25  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.

EX-22:26  If thou at all take thy neighbour's raiment to pledge,

thou shalt deliver it unto him by that the sun goeth down:

EX-22:27  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.

EX-22:28  Thou shalt not revile the gods, nor curse the ruler of

thy

people.

EX-22:29  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.

EX-22:30  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.

EX-22:31  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.
