Bible Text (Scroll to Verse) [Copy]
1 If a man will steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it; he will 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 will] no blood [be shed] for him.
3 If the sun be risen upon him, [there will be] blood [shed] for him; [for] he should make full restitution; if he have nothing, then he will 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 will restore double.
5 If a man will cause a field or vineyard to be eaten, and will put in his beast, and will feed in another man's field; of the best of his own field, and of the best of his own vineyard, will 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 [with it]; he that kindled the fire will surely make restitution.
7 If a man will deliver to his neighbor 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 will be brought to the judges, [to see] whether he have put his hand to his neighbor'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] challenges to be his, the cause of both parties will come before the judges; [and] whom the judges will condemn, he will pay double to his neighbor.
10 If a man deliver to his neighbor 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] will an oath of the LORD [Yahweh] be between them both, that he has not put his hand to his neighbor's goods; and the owner of it will accept [of it], and he will not make [it] good.
12 And if it be stolen from him, he will make restitution to the owner of it.
13 If it be torn in pieces, [then] let him bring it [for] witness, [and] he will not make good that which was torn.
14 And if a man borrow [ought] of his neighbor, and it be hurt, or die, the owner of it [being] not with it, he will surely make [it] good.
15 [But] if the owner of it [be] with it, he will not make [it] good: if it [be] a hired [thing], it came for his hire.
16 And if a man entice a maid that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he will surely endow her to be his wife.
17 If her father utterly refuse to give her to him, he will pay money according to the dowry of virgins.
18 You will not suffer a witch to live.
19 Whosoever lies with a beast will surely be put to death.
20 He that sacrifices to [any] god, save to the LORD [Yahweh] only, he will be utterly destroyed.
21 You will neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him: for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.
22 You will not afflict any widow, or fatherless child.
23 If you afflict them in any wise, and they cry at all to me, I will surely hear their cry;
24 And my wrath will wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives will be widows, and your children fatherless.
25 If you lend money to [any of] my people [that is] poor by you, you will not be to him as an usurer, neither will you lay upon him usury.
26 If you at all take your neighbor's raiment to pledge, you will deliver it to him by that the sun goes down:
27 For that [is] his covering only, it [is] his raiment for his skin: in which will he sleep? and it will come to pass, when he cries to me, that I will hear; for I [am] gracious.
28 You will not revile the gods, nor curse the ruler of your people.
29 You will not delay [to offer] the first of your ripe fruits, and of your liquors: the firstborn of your sons will you give to me.
30 Likewise will you do with your oxen, [and] with your sheep: seven days it will be with his dam; on the eighth day you will give it me.
31 And you will be holy men to me: neither will you eat [any] flesh [that is] torn of beasts in the field; you will cast it to the dogs.
