King James Version
“
If a man steals
an ox or a sheep and slaughters
or
sells
it, he must
repay
five oxen for an ox and four sheep for a sheep.
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.
If a thief is
caught
breaking in
and is
beaten
to
death
, no
one
shall be guilty
of
bloodshed
.
If a thief be
found
breaking up,
and be
smitten
that
he
die
, there
shall no
blood
be shed
for
him
.
But
if it
happens
after
sunrise
, there is
guilt
for his
bloodshed.
A
thief
must
make full restitution; if he has
nothing, he himself
shall be sold for his theft.
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.
If what
was
stolen
is
actually
found alive
in his possession—
whether ox or donkey
or sheep —
he must
pay
back
double.
If the
theft
be
certainly
found in his hand
alive,
whether it
be
ox ,
or ass,
or sheep ;
he shall
restore
double.
If a man grazes
his
livestock
in
a field or vineyard and
allows
them
to stray
so
that
they
graze
in someone
else’s
field
, he
must
make
restitution
from
the best of his own field or
vineyard.
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
.
If a
fire breaks
out and spreads
to
thornbushes
so that it
consumes
stacked
or standing grain
, or the whole
field, the
one
who
started
the fire must
make full
restitution.
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.
If a man gives
his neighbor money or goods
for
safekeeping
and they
are
stolen from
the neighbor’s
house ,
the thief ,
if
caught
, must
pay back
double.
If a man shall
deliver
unto
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.
If the thief is
not found, the owner
of the house must
appear
before
the judges to determine
whether he has
taken
his neighbor’s
property
.
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
neighbor's
goods
.
In
all cases
of
illegal
possession
of an
ox, a
donkey
, a
sheep, a
garment
, or any lost item
that
someone
claims,
‘This
is
mine
, ’
both parties shall bring
their
cases
before the judges .
The
one
whom the judges find
guilty
must
pay back
double to
his neighbor.
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 neighbor.
If a man gives
a
donkey
, an ox, a sheep, or any other
animal
to
be
cared
for
by
his
neighbor
, but
it dies
or is
injured
or stolen
while
no
one
is
watching
,
If a man deliver
unto
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:
an oath before
the LORD shall
be made
between the
parties
to
determine
whether
or
not the
man
has
taken
his neighbor’s
property.
The owner must
accept the
oath
and require
no
restitution
.
Then
shall
an oath of
the LORD be between them
both,
that
he
hath
not put
his hand
unto
his
neighbor's
goods;
and
the owner of
it
shall
accept thereof,
and he
shall
not
make
it
good
.
But
if the
animal
was
actually
stolen from the
neighbor
, he must
make restitution to
the owner.
And
if it
be
stolen from him
, he shall
make restitution unto
the owner thereof
.
If the
animal
was
torn to
pieces, he
shall
bring it as
evidence;
he need
not make restitution
for
the
torn carcass
.
If it
be
torn in
pieces, then
let
him
bring it for
witness,
and
he shall
not make good
that
which
was
torn.
If a man borrows
an
animal
from
his neighbor and it is
injured
or dies
while
its
owner is
not present
, he must
make full
restitution
.
And
if a man borrow
ought
of
his neighbor ,
and it be
hurt,
or die,
the
owner thereof
being
not with
it
, he shall
surely
make it
good
.
If the owner was
present
, no
restitution
is
required.
If the
animal
was
rented
, the
fee
covers
the
loss
.
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
.
If a man seduces
a virgin
who
is not pledged
in
marriage
and sleeps
with her, he must
pay
the
full
dowry
for
her to be his wife.
And
if a man entice
a maid
that
is not betrothed,
and lie
with her, he shall
surely
endow
her to be his wife.
If her father absolutely
refuses
to give her to
him, the
man
still
must
pay an
amount
comparable
to the bridal
price
of a
virgin
.
If her father utterly
refuse
to give her unto
him, he
shall
pay money
according
to the dowry
of virgins
.
You
must
not allow
a sorceress
to live.
Thou
shalt
not suffer
a witch
to live.
Whoever
lies
with an
animal
must
surely be put to death.
Whosoever
lieth
with a
beast
shall
surely be put to death.
If
anyone
sacrifices
to
any god other
than
the LORD alone
, he must
be set
apart
for
destruction
.
He
that
sacrificeth
unto
any god ,
save
unto
the LORD only
, he shall
be utterly
destroyed
.
You
must
not
exploit
or
oppress
a foreign
resident
, for you
yourselves
were foreigners
in the land of Egypt.
Thou
shalt
neither
vex
a stranger
, nor
oppress
him:
for ye
were strangers
in the land of Egypt.
You
must
not mistreat
any widow or orphan
.
Ye
shall
not afflict
any widow ,
or fatherless
child
.
If you
do
mistreat
them, and they cry out
to
Me in
distress
, I will surely hear their cry .
If thou
afflict
them in
any
wise
, and they cry at
all
unto
me, I will surely hear their cry ;
My anger
will
be
kindled
, and I will kill you with the sword; then
your wives will
become
widows and your children will
be
fatherless.
And
my wrath
shall
wax
hot
, and I will kill you with the sword; and
your wives shall
be
widows ,
and your children fatherless.
If you
lend money to one
of My people among
you
who
is poor, you
must
not act
as
a
creditor
to him ;
you
are
not
to
charge
him interest
.
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
.
If you
take your
neighbor’s
cloak
as
collateral
, return
it to
him by sunset,
If thou
at
all
take thy
neighbor's
raiment
to
pledge
, thou
shalt
deliver
it unto
him by that
the
sun
goeth
down:
because
his
cloak
is the
only
covering he
has
for his body.
What
else
will
he sleep in
? And if
he
cries
out
to Me, I will hear ,
for I am compassionate
.
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
.
You
must
not blaspheme
God
or
curse the ruler of your
people.
Thou
shalt
not revile
the
gods,
nor
curse the ruler of thy
people.
You
must
not hold
back
offerings
from
your
granaries
or
vats.
You
are
to give
Me
the firstborn of your
sons.
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
.
You
shall
do
likewise with your
cattle
and your
sheep.
Let
them
stay
with their
mothers
for
seven days ,
but
on the eighth day you
are
to
give them
to
Me.
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.
You
are
to
be My
holy people.
You
must
not
eat the
meat
of a
mauled
animal
found
in the field; you
are
to
throw
it to the dogs.
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.
