1 ¶ If a man steals an ox, or a sheep, and kills it, or sells it; he shall pay five oxen for the ox, and four sheep for the sheep.

2 If a thief is found breaking in, and is struck so that he dies, no blood shall be shed for him.

3 But if it happens after sunrise, blood shall be shed for him; if he lives he should make full restitution; if he has nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.

4 If the stolen animal is found alive in his possession, whether it is an ox, or a donkey, or a sheep; he must give back double.

5 If a man allows a field or vineyard to be grazed in, or allows his animal to escape, and graze in another man’s field; he shall make restitution from the best of his own field, and from the best of his own vineyard.

6 If fire gets out of control, and spreads through the thorns, so that the stacked grain, or standing grain, or the field, is consumed; the one who started the fire must make restitution.

7 ¶ If a man entrusts money or articles to his neighbor for safekeeping, and it is stolen from the man’s house; if the thief is found, let him pay double.

8 If the thief is not found, then the owner of the house shall be brought to the judges, to determine whether or not he has taken his neighbor’s property.

9 For every unlawful deed, whether it involves an ox, a donkey, a sheep, clothing, or anything lost, that another claims to be his, both parties shall bring their cause before the judges; and the one whom the judges find guilty shall pay his neighbor double.

10 If a man delivers a donkey, an ox, a sheep, or any animal to his neighbor for safe keeping; and it dies, or is injured, or is driven away, while no one is watching:

11 Then there must be an oath before the LORD between the two of them, that he has not taken his neighbor’s property; and the owner of it shall accept his word, and not require him to make it good.

12 But if it is stolen from him, he shall make restitution to its owner.

13 If it was torn to pieces, let him bring it as evidence, and he shall not make restitution for what has been torn.

14 And if a man borrows anything from his neighbor, and it is injured, or dies, without the owner being with it, he shall surely make it good.

15 But if the owner is with it, he shall not make it good: if it is rented, its loss is covered by the cost of rental.

16 ¶ If a man seduces a virgin who is not betrothed, and lies with her, he must pay her dowry and marry her.

17 If her father utterly refuses to give her to him, he must still pay an amount in silver equal to the dowry for virgins.

18 You must not allow a witch to live.

19 Whoever lies sexually with an animal must be put to death.

20 Whoever sacrifices to any god, but the LORD alone, shall be utterly destroyed.

21 You shall not mistreat a foreigner, or oppress him: for you were foreigner in the land of Egypt.

22 You shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child.

23 If you afflict them in any way, and they cry to me, I will surely hear their cry;

24 And my wrath will grow 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 among you who is poor, you shall not be to him as a creditor, nor shall you charge him interest.

26 If you ever take your neighbor’s garment as a pledge, you must give it back to him before the sun goes down:

27 For that is his only covering, it is his clothing for his body: in what shall he sleep? and when he cries to me, I will hear; for I am gracious.

28 You shall not revile God, or curse the ruler of your people.

29 You must not hold back from offering the first of your ripe fruits, and of your vats. Give me the firstborn of your sons.

30 You shall do the same with your oxen, and your sheep: the firstborn shall remain with his mother for seven days; on the eighth day you shall give it to me.

31 You shall be men consecrated to me: therefore you shall not eat any meat that is torn by beasts in the field; you shall throw it to the dogs.
