Exodus 22

JuliaSmith^{(i) 1} If a man shall steal an ox or a sheep, and slaughter it or sell it, he shall recompense five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep. ² If in breaking in a thief shall be found, and he was smitten and died, no bloods for him. ³ If the sun was risen upon him, bloods for him: recompensing, he shall recompense; if nothing to him, to be sold for his theft. ⁴ If finding, the theft shall be found in his hand, from an ox to an ass, to a sheep; living, he shall recompense two. ⁵ If a man shall feed a field or vineyard, and send forth the cattle and feed in another field: from the good of his field and from the good of his vineyard shall he recompense. ⁶ If fire shall come forth, and find thorns, and it consume the heap of sheaves or stalk of grain, or the field; he having kindled the fire, recompensing, he shall recompense. ⁷ If a man shall give to his friend silver or vessels to watch, and it was stolen out of the man's house, if the thief shall be found he shall recompense double. ⁸ If the thief shall not be found, and the lord of the house being brought to God, if he put not forth his hand upon his friend's goods. ⁹ For every word of transgression, for ox, for ass, for sheep, for garment, for every loss which if this say is his: to God the word of both of them shall come; whom God shall condemn, he shall recompense double to his friend. ¹⁰ If a man shall give to his friend an ass or ox or sheep or all cattle to watch; and it died, or being broken or being taken captive, not being seen: ¹¹ An oath of Jehovah shall be between them both if he put not forth his hand to his friend's goods; and its lord shall take and he shall not recompense. ¹² And if stealing, it shall be stolen from him, he shall recompense to his lord. ¹³ If tearing in pieces, it shall be torn in pieces, he shall bring it a witness; the torn in pieces he shall not recompense. ¹⁴ And if a man shall ask from his friend, and being broken or dying, its lord not with it, recompensing, he shall recompense. ¹⁵ If its lord be with it, he shall not recompense: if hired, it came for its hire. ¹⁶ If a man shall seduce a virgin who was not betrothed, and lying with her, endowing, he shall endow her to him for a wife. ¹⁷ If her father refusing shall refuse to give her to him, he shall weigh the silver according to the dowry of virgins. ¹⁸ Thou shalt not preserve alive a sorceress. ¹⁹ Every one lying with a quadruped, dying, shall die. ²⁰ He sacrificing to a God except to Jehovah himself alone, shall be devoted to destruction. ²¹ Thou shalt not treat evil the stranger, and thou shalt not press him: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt. ²² Every widow and orphan ye shall not afflict. ²³ If afflicting, thou shalt afflict him, if crying, he shall cry to me, hearing, I will hear his cry. ²⁴ And my anger kindling, I killed you with the sword; and your wives were widows, and your sons orphans. ²⁵ If thou shalt lend silver to my people being poor with thee, thou shalt not be to him, as lending; ye shall not put interest upon him. ²⁶ If taking in pledge, thou shalt take in pledge the garment of thy friend, at the going down of the sun thou shalt turn it back to him. ²⁷ For it is his covering alone; his garment for his nakedness in which he shall lie; and it was when he shall cry to me, and I heard, for I am compassionate. ²⁸ Thou shalt not make light of God, and thou shalt not curse the chiefs of thy people. ²⁹ Thy fulness and thy tears thou shalt not delay: the first-born of thy sons thou shalt give to me. ³⁰ Thus shalt thou do to thine ox, to thy sheep: seven days shall it be with its mother; in the eighth day thou shalt give it to me. ³¹ And ye shall be holy men to me, and ye shall not eat flesh torn in pieces in the field; ye shall cast it to the dog.
