| 1 | "If a man steals an ox or a sheep, and slaughters it or sells it, he shall restore five oxen for an ox and four sheep for a sheep. |
| 2 | If the thief is found breaking in, and he is struck so that he dies, there shall be no guilt for his bloodshed. |
| 3 | If the sun has risen on him, there shall be guilt for his bloodshed. He should make full restitution; if he has nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft. |
| 4 | If the theft is certainly found alive in his hand, whether it is an ox or donkey or sheep, he shall restore double. |
| 5 | "If a man causes a field or vineyard to be grazed, and lets loose his animal, and it feeds in another man`s field, he shall make restitution from the best of his own field and the best of his own vineyard. |
| 6 | "If fire breaks out and catches in thorns, so that stacked grain, standing grain, or the field is consumed, he who kindled the fire shall surely make restitution. |
| 7 | "If a man delivers to his neighbor money or articles to keep, and it is stolen out of the man`s house, if the thief is found, he shall pay double. |
| 8 | If the thief is not found, then the master of the house shall be brought to the judges to see whether he has put his hand into his neighbor`s goods. |
| 9 | "For any kind of trespass, whether it concerns an ox, a donkey, a sheep, or clothing, or for any kind of lost thing which another claims to be his, the cause of both parties shall come before the judges; and whomever the judges condemn shall pay double to his neighbor. |
| 10 | If a man delivers to his neighbor a donkey, an ox, a sheep, or any animal to keep, and it dies, is hurt, or driven away, no one seeing it, |
| 11 | then an oath of the Lord shall be between them both, that he has not put his hand into his neighbor`s goods; and the owner of it shall accept that, and he shall not make it good. |
| 12 | But if, in fact, it is stolen from him, he shall make restitution to the owner of it. |
| 13 | If it is torn to pieces by a beast, then he shall bring it as evidence, and he shall not make good what was torn. |
| 14 | "And if a man borrows anything from his neighbor, and it becomes injured or dies, the owner of it not being with it, he shall surely make it good. |
| 15 | If its owner was with it, he shall not make it good; if it was hired, it came for its hire. |
| 16 | "If a man entices a virgin who is not betrothed, and lies with her, he shall surely pay the bride-price for her to be his wife. |
| 17 | If her father utterly refuses to give her to him, he shall pay money according to the bride-price of virgins. |
| 18 | "You shall not permit a sorceress to live. |
| 19 | "Whoever lies with an animal shall surely be put to death. |
| 20 | "He who sacrifices to any god, except to the Lord only, he shall be utterly destroyed. |
| 21 | "You shall neither mistreat a stranger nor oppress him, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt. |
| 22 | "You shall not afflict any widow or fatherless child. |
| 23 | If you afflict them in any way, and they cry at all to Me, I will surely hear their cry; |
| 24 | and My wrath will become hot, and I will kill you with the sword; your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless. |
| 25 | "If you lend money to any of My people who are poor among you, you shall not be like a moneylender to him; you shall not charge him interest. |
| 26 | If you ever take your neighbor`s garment as a pledge, you shall return it to him before the sun goes down. |
| 27 | For that is his only covering, it is his garment for his skin. What will he sleep in? And it will be that when he cries to Me, I will hear, for I am gracious. |
| 28 | "You shall not revile God, nor curse a ruler of your people. |
| 29 | "You shall not delay to offer the first of your ripe produce and your juices. The firstborn of your sons you shall give to Me. |
| 30 | Likewise you shall do with your oxen and your sheep. It shall be with its mother seven days; on the eighth day you shall give it to Me. |
| 31 | "And you shall be holy men to Me: you shall not eat meat torn by beasts in the field; you shall throw it to the dogs. |
