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. 2 If a thief be found break­ing up, and be smit­ten that he die, there shall no blood be shed for him. 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. 4 If the theft be cer­tain­ly found in his hand alive, whether it be ox, or ass, or sheep; he shall re­store dou­ble. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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: 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. 12 And if it be stolen from him, he shall make resti­tu­tion unto the own­er there­of. 13 If it be torn in pieces, then let him bring it for wit­ness, and he shall not make good that which was torn. 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. 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. 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. 17 If her fa­ther ut­ter­ly refuse to give her unto him, he shall pay mon­ey ac­cord­ing to the dowry of vir­gins. 18 Thou shalt not suf­fer a witch to live. 19 Whoso­ev­er li­eth with a beast shall sure­ly be put to death. 20 He that sac­ri­ficeth unto any god, save unto the LORD on­ly, he shall be ut­ter­ly de­stroyed. 21 Thou shalt nei­ther vex a stranger, nor op­press him: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt. 22 Ye shall not af­flict any wid­ow, or fa­ther­less child. 23 If thou af­flict them in any wise, and they cry at all unto me, I will sure­ly hear their cry; 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. 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. 26 If thou at all take thy neighbour's rai­ment to pledge, thou shalt de­liv­er it unto him by that the sun goeth down: 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. 28 Thou shalt not re­vile the gods, nor curse the ruler of thy peo­ple. 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. 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. 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.
