Bible verses about "restitution" | Rotherham

¹ Now, the man, having come to know Eve his wife,––she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a Man, even Yahweh! ² And she went on to bear his brother, Abel,––and Abel became a feeder of sheep, whereas, Cain, was a tiller of the round.
³ So it came to pass, after certain days, that Cain brought in, of the fruit of the ground, a present to Yahweh: ⁴ Abel, also, even, he, brought in, of the firstlings of his sheep, and of their fat,––and Yahweh approved of Abel, and of his present; ⁵ but, of Cain and his present, he approved not,––and it angered Cain greatly, and his countenance fell.
⁶ So then Yahweh said unto Cain,––Wherefore hath it angered thee, and wherefore hath thy countenance fallen? ⁷ Shall it not, if thou do right, be lifted up? But, if thou do not right, at the entrance, a sin–bearer is lying,––Unto thee, moreover, shall be his longing, though, thou, rule over him.
⁸ And Cain said unto Abel his brother [Let us go into the field]. And it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
⁹ Then said Yahweh unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not, the keeper of my brother, am, I? ¹⁰ And he said, What hast thou done? With a voice, the shed–blood of thy brother is crying out to me from the ground. ¹¹ Now, therefore, accursed, art thou,––from the ground, which hath opened her mouth, to receive the shed–blood of thy brother at thy hand. ¹² Though thou till the ground, it shall not go on to give its vigour to thee,––A wanderer and a fugitive, shalt thou be in the earth.
¹³ And Cain said unto Yahweh––Greater is my punishment than I can bear. ¹⁴ Lo! thou has driven me out, this day, from off the face of the ground, And, from thy face, shall I be hid,––So shall I become a wanderer and a fugitive in the earth, And it shall come to pass, whosoever findeth me, will slay me. ¹⁵ And Yahweh said to him––Not so! whosoever slayeth Cain, sevenfold, shall it be avenged. So Yahweh set, for Cain, a sign, that none finding him should smite him.
¹⁶ So Cain went forth from the presence of Yahweh,––and dwelt in the land of Nod, eastward of Eden. ¹⁷ And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived, and bare Enoch,––Now it happened that he was building a city, so he called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch. ¹⁸ And there was born to Enoch, Irad, and, Irad, begat Mehujael,––and, Mehujael, begat Methusael,––and, Methusael, begat Lamech.
¹⁹ And Lamech took to himself two wives,––the name of the one, was Adah, and, the name of the second, Zillah. ²⁰ And Adah bare Jabal,––he, was father of such as dwell in tents, and have cattle; ²¹ and, the name of his brother, was Jubal,––he, was father of everyone handling lyre and flute. ²² And, as for Zillah, she also, bare Tubal–Cain, a sharpener of every cutting instrument of bronze and iron,––and, the sister of Tubal–Cain, was Naamah.
²³ Then said Lamech to his wives, Adah and Zillah! hear ye my voice, Ye wives of Lamech! give ear to my tale,––For, a man, have I slain, in dealing my wounds, Yea, a youth, in smiting my blows: ²⁴ If, sevenfold, be the avenging of, Cain, Then, of Lamech, seventy and seven.
²⁵ And Adam again knew his wife, and she bare a son, and called his name Seth,––For God hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, because, Cain, slew him! ²⁶ And, to Seth––to him also, was born a son, and he called his name Enosh,––then, was a beginning made, to call on the name of Yahweh.

¹⁵ Whensoever, any person, shall commit a trespass, and shall take away by mistake, from the holy things of Yahweh, then shall he bring in as his guilt–bearer unto Yahweh, a ram without defect out of the flock, with thine estimate in silver by shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for a guilt–bearer:

¹ And it shall be, if thou wilt, hearken, unto the voice of Yahweh thy God, to observe to do all his commandments which I am commanding thee, today, then will Yahweh thy God set thee on high, above all the nations of the earth; ² and all these blessings shall come in upon thee, and reach thee,––because thou dost hearken unto the voice of Yahweh thy God:–– ³ Blessed, shalt thou be in the city,––and, blessed, shalt thou be in the field: ⁴ Blessed, shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle,––the young of thy kine, and the ewes of thy flock: ⁵ Blessed, shall be thy basket, and thy kneading–trough: ⁶ Blessed, shalt thou be when thou comest in,––and, blessed, shalt thou be when thou goest out: ⁷ Yahweh will deliver thine enemies who rise up against thee, to be routed before thee,––one way, shall they come out against thee, and, seven ways, shall they flee before thee: ⁸ Yahweh will command to be with thee, the blessing, in thy storehouses, and in all whereunto thou settest thy hand,––and will bless thee in the land which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee: ⁹ Yahweh will confirm thee unto himself for a holy people, as he sware unto thee,––because thou dost keep the commandments of Yahweh thy God, and dost walk in his ways. ¹⁰ And all the peoples of the earth shall see that, the name of Yahweh, hath been called upon thee,––and shall be afraid of thee. ¹¹ And Yahweh will cause thee to abound in that which is good, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy soil,––upon the soil which Yahweh sware unto thy fathers, to give unto thee: ¹² Yahweh will open unto thee his rich storehouse––the heavens, to give the rain of thy land in its season, and to bless every work of thy hand, so shalt thou lend unto many nations, but, thou, shalt not borrow: ¹³ And Yahweh, will give thee, to be the head, and not the tail, and thou shalt be only above, and shalt not be beneath,––because thou dost hearken unto the commandments of Yahweh thy God, which I am commanding thee, today, to observe and to do; ¹⁴ and dost not turn side from any of the words which I am commanding you today, to the right hand or to the left,––to go after other gods, to serve them.

A house, shalt thou build, and shalt not dwell therein,––A vineyard, shalt thou plant, and shalt not throw it open; ³¹ Thine ox slaughtered before thine eyes, and thou shalt not eat thereof, Thine ass stolen from before thee, and shall not be restored to thee,––Thy flock given to thine enemies, and thou shalt have none to save. ³² Thy sons and thy daughters given to another people, thine eyes looking on, and failing for them all the day, thine own hand being powerless. ³³ The fruit of thy soil, and all thy toilsome produce, shall a people whom thou knowest not, eat up,––and, thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed, all the days; ³⁴ so that thou shalt be mad,––for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see. ³⁵ Yahweh, will smite thee, with a grievous boil, upon the knees and upon the legs, of which thou canst not be healed,––from the sole of thy foot, even unto the crown of thy head. ³⁶ Yahweh will bring thee, and thy king whom thou wilt set up over thee, unto a nation which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers,––and thou shalt serve, there, other gods, of wood and of stone. ³⁷ Thus shalt thou become a horror, a byword, and a mockery,––among all the peoples whither Yahweh thy God will drive thee. ³⁸ Much seed, shalt thou take out into the field,––and, little, shalt thou gather in, for the locust shall consume it. ³⁹ Vineyards, shalt thou plant, and dress,––but, wine, shalt thou not drink, neither shalt thou gather the grapes, for the worm shall eat them. ⁴⁰ Olive trees, shalt thou have in all thy bounds,––but, with oil, shalt thou not anoint thyself, for thine olives, shall drop off. ⁴¹ Sons and daughters, shalt thou beget,––and they shall not be thine, for they shall go into captivity. ⁴² All thy trees, and the fruit of thy ground, shall the grasshopper, devour. ⁴³ The sojourner who is in thy midst, shall mount up above thee, higher and higher,––whereas, thou, shalt come down, lower and lower: ⁴⁴ he, shall lend to thee, but, thou, shalt not lend to him,––he, shall become head, and, thou, shalt become tail.
⁴⁵ Moreover, all these curses, shall come in upon thee, and pursue thee and overtake thee, until thou be destroyed,––because thou didst not hearken unto the voice of Yahweh thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes, which he hath commanded thee; ⁴⁶ and they shall be upon thee, for a sign, and for a wonder,––and upon thy seed, unto times age–abiding. ⁴⁷ Because thou servedst not Yahweh thy God, with rejoicing, and with gladness of heart, for abundance of all things, ⁴⁸ therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies, whom Yahweh will send against thee, with hunger, and with thirst, and with nakedness, and with want of all things,––and he, will put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he hath destroyed thee. ⁴⁹ Yahweh will bring against thee a nation from afar, from the end of the earth, as darteth a bird of prey,––a nation whose tongue thou canst not understand; ⁵⁰ a nation of fierce countenance,––who wilt not respect an elder, nor to the young, show favour; ⁵¹ then shall he eat the young of thy cattle and the fruit of thy ground, until thou art destroyed, who will not leave for thee corn, new wine or oil, the young of thy kine, or the ewes of thy flock,––until he hath caused thee to perish. ⁵² And he shall lay siege to thee in all thy gates, until thy high and fortified walls come down, wherein thou wast trusting, in all thy land,––yea he will lay siege to thee in all thy gates, in all thy land, which, Yahweh thy God, hath given, unto thee. ⁵³ And thou wilt eat the fruit of thy body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, whom Yahweh thy God, hath given unto thee––in the siege and in the straitness wherewith thine enemy will straiten thee. ⁵⁴ The man that is tender among you, and exceedingly delicate, his eye will be jealous of his brother, and of the wife of his bosom, and of the remnant of his sons, whom be might leave behind; ⁵⁵ so that he will not give to any one of them, of the flesh of his sons which he will eat, because he hath nothing at all left him,––in the siege and in the straitness wherewith thine enemy, will straiten thee, within all thy gates. ⁵⁶ The tender and delicate woman among you, who hath never adventured the sole of her foot, to set it upon the ground, through delicateness and through tenderness, her eye shall be jealous of the husband of her bosom, and of her own son, and of her own daughter; ⁵⁷ both as to her afterbirth that cometh forth from between her feet, and as to her children which she shall bear, for she will eat them for want of all things, secretly,––in the siege and in the straitness wherewith thine enemy, will straiten thee, within thine own gates. ⁵⁸ If thou wilt not take heed to do all the words of this law, which are written in this scroll,––to revere this glorious and reverend name, Yahweh thy God, ⁵⁹ then will Yahweh make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed,––plagues great and lasting, and diseases grievous and lasting; ⁶⁰ and he will bring back on thee all the sickness of Egypt, because of which thou wast afraid,––and they shall cleave unto thee; ⁶¹ even every disease and, every plague, which are not written in this scroll of the law, will Yahweh bring up against thee, until thou art destroyed. ⁶² And ye shall be left men few in number, whereas ye had become as the stars of the heavens, for multitude,––because thou hast not hearkened unto the voice of Yahweh thy God. ⁶³ And it shall come to pass that, as Yahweh rejoiced over you, to do you good, and to multiply you, so, will Yahweh rejoice over you, to cause you to perish, and, to destroy you,––and ye shall be torn away, from off the soil, whither thou art going in to possess it; ⁶⁴ and Yahweh will scatter thee among all the peoples, from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth,––and thou wilt serve there, other gods, whom thou hast not known––thou, nor thy fathers,––of wood and of stone. ⁶⁵ And, among those nations, shalt thou find no ease, neither shall there be a place of rest for the sole of thy foot,––but, Yahweh will give unto thee, there, a trembling heart, and a failing of eyes, and faintness of soul. ⁶⁶ And thy life will be hung up for thee in front,––and thou wilt be in dread by night and by day, and wilt not trust in thy life. ⁶⁷ In the morning, thou wilt say––Oh that it were evening! and, in the evening, thou wilt say––Oh that it were morning! because of the dread of thy heart, which thou wilt dread, and because of the sight of thine eyes, which thou wilt see. ⁶⁸ And Yahweh, will take thee back again, to Egypt, in ships, by the way whereof I said unto thee, Thou shalt not again any more see it. And ye will offer yourselves there for sale unto thine enemies, as servants, and as handmaids, with no one to buy.

⁵² Then, Jesus saith unto him––Put back thy sword into its place, for, all they who take a sword, by a sword, shall perish. ⁵³ Or thinkest thou that I cannot call upon my Father, and he will set near me, even now, more than twelve legions of messengers? ⁵⁴ How then should the Scriptures be fulfilled, that, thus, it must needs come to pass?

²⁷ And, he, answering, said––Thou shalt love the Lord thy God, out of all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might, and with all thine intention; and thy neighbour, as thyself?

⁹ If we are confessing our sins, faithful, is he and, righteous––that he should forgive us our sins, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

⁵ And surely, your blood, of your lives, will I require, From the hand of every living creature, will I require it,––and from the hand of man, From the hand of each one’s brother, will I require the life of man: ⁶ He that sheddeth man’s blood, by man, shall his blood be shed,––For, in the image of God, made he man.

² If, in the place of breaking in, the thief be found and he is smitten so that he dieth, there is due for him no shedding of blood: ³ should the sun have arisen upon him, there would be shedding of blood due for him,––he is, surely to make restitution, if he hath nothing, then is he to be sold, for his theft.

⁶ Speak unto the sons of Israel: When, any man or woman, shall do aught of a human sin, in acting unfaithfully against Yahweh,––and that person shall become aware of his guilt, ⁷ then shall they confess their sin which they have done, and he shall make good that wherein he is guilty, in the principal thereof, and, the fifth part thereof, shall he add thereunto,––and give to him against whom he is guilty.

¹ And, having entered, he was passing through Jericho; ² and lo! a man, by name called Zacchaeus, and, he, was a chief tax–collector, and [he] was rich. ³ And he was seeking to see Jesus, what sort of man he was, and could not for the multitude, because, in stature, he was, small. ⁴ And, running forward unto the front, he got up a sycamore–tree, that he might see him; for, by that way, was he about to pass. ⁵ And, as he came up to the place, looking up, Jesus said unto him––Zacchaeus! make haste, and come down; For, today, in thy house, I must needs abide. ⁶ And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully. ⁷ And all, when they beheld, began to murmur, saying––With a sinful man, hath he gone in to lodge! ⁸ But, taking his stand, Zacchaeus said unto the Lord––Lo! the half of my possessions, Lord, unto the destitute, I give; and, if, from anyone, I have taken aught by false accusation, I give back fourfold. ⁹ And Jesus said unto him––This day, salvation, unto this house, hath come,––for that, he too, is, a son of Abraham; ¹⁰ For the Son of Man came, to seek and to save what was lost.

⁴ For, God’s minister, is he unto thee for that which is good. But, if, that which is evil, thou be doing, be afraid! For, not in vain, the sword he beareth; for, God’s minister, he is,––an avenger, unto anger, to him who practiseth what is evil.

¹⁹ Not avenging, yourselves, beloved, but give place unto their anger; for it is written––Mine, is avenging, I, will recompense; ––saith the Lord;

⁸ If, however, anyone, for his own, and specially them of his household, taketh not forethought, his faith, hath he denied, and is worse, than one without faith!

⁷ When a man giveth unto his neighbour silver or jewelry, to keep, and it is stolen out of the house of the man: ⁸ if the thief be found, he shall give in restitution, double: if the thief be not found, then shall the owner of the house be brought near unto God [to swear] that he hath not laid his hand on the property of his neighbour. ⁹ For any affair of trespass––for an ox, for an ass, for a sheep, for a mantle, for anything lost, as to which one could say––This is, it, unto God, shall come the affair of them both,––he whom God shall condemn, shall make restitution of double, to his neighbour. ¹⁰ When a man delivereth unto his neighbour, an ass, or an ox, or a sheep, or any beast, to keep,––and it dieth, or is fractured, or is driven away, no one beholding, ¹¹ the oath of Yahweh, shall come between them both, That he hath not laid his hand on the property of his neighbour,––then shall the owner thereof accept it, and he shall not make restitution. ¹² But, if it be, verily stolen, from him, he shall make restitution to the owner thereof. ¹³ If it be, verily torn in pieces, he shall bring it in as a witness––for that which was torn, he shall not make restitution. ¹⁴ And, when a man asketh aught of his neighbour, and it is fractured or dieth, its owner, not being with it, he shall, surely make restitution. ¹⁵ If, its owner, was with it, he shall not make restitution,––if it is, hired, it cometh into its hire.
