Exodus
22
Exo
22:1 "If a man steals an ox or a sheep, and kills it, or sells
it; he shall pay five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep.
Exo
22:2 If the thief is found breaking in, and is struck so that he
dies, there shall be no guilt of bloodshed for him.
Exo
22:3 If the sun has risen on him, there shall be guilt of bloodshed
for him; he shall make restitution. If he has nothing, then he shall
be sold for his theft.
Exo
22:4 If the stolen property is found in his hand alive, whether it
is ox, donkey, or sheep, he shall pay double.
Exo
22:5 "If a man causes a field or vineyard to be eaten, and lets
his animal loose, and it grazes in another man's field, he shall make
restitution from the best of his own field, and from the best of his
own vineyard.
Exo
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 shall surely make restitution.
Exo
22:7 "If a man delivers to his neighbor money or stuff to keep,
and it is stolen out of the man's house; if the thief is found, he
shall pay double.
Exo
22:8 If the thief isn't found, then the master of the house shall
come near to God, to find out if he hasn't put his hand to his
neighbor's goods.
Exo
22:9 For every matter of trespass, whether it be for ox, for donkey,
for sheep, for clothing, or for any kind of lost thing, about which
one says, 'This is mine,' the cause of both parties shall come before
God. He whom God condemns shall pay double to his neighbor.
Exo
22:10 "If a man delivers to his neighbor a donkey, an ox, a
sheep, or any animal to keep, and it dies or is injured, or driven
away, no man seeing it;
Exo
22:11 the oath of Yahweh shall be between them both, whether he
hasn't put his hand to his neighbor's goods; and its owner shall
accept it, and he shall not make restitution.
Exo
22:12 But if it is stolen from him, he shall make restitution to its
owner.
Exo
22:13 If it is torn in pieces, let him bring it for evidence. He
shall not make good that which was torn.
Exo
22:14 "If a man borrows anything of his neighbor's, and it is
injured, or dies, its owner not being with it, he shall surely make
restitution.
Exo
22:15 If its owner is with it, he shall not make it good. If it is a
leased thing, it came for its lease.
Exo
22:16 "If a man entices a virgin who isn't pledged to be
married, and lies with her, he shall surely pay a dowry for her to be
his wife.

money according to the dowry of virgins.

him, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt.

22:22 "You shall not take advantage of any widow or fatherless
child.
Exo
22:23 If you take advantage of them at all, and they cry at all to
me, I will surely hear their cry;
Exo
22:24 and my wrath will grow hot, and I will kill you with the
sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.
Exo
22:25 "If you lend money to any of my people with you who is
poor, you shall not be to him as a creditor; neither shall you charge
him interest.
Exo
22:26 If you take your neighbor's garment as collateral, you shall
restore it to him before the sun goes down,
Exo
22:27 for that is his only covering, it is his garment for his skin.
What would he sleep in? It will happen, when he cries to me, that I
will hear, for I am gracious.
Exo

people.

the outflow of your presses. "You shall give the firstborn of
your sons to me.

shall give it to me.

any flesh that is torn by animals in the field. You shall cast it to
the dogs.
