1
“If an ish steals an ox or a sheep and slaughters it or sells it, he shall repay five oxen for the ox and four sheep for the sheep.
2
If the thief is found breaking in and is struck so that he dies, there shall be no bloodguilt for him.
3
But if the sun has risen upon him, there shall be bloodguilt for him. Repaying, he shall surely repay. If he has nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.
4
If the stolen thing is found alive in his hand, whether ox or donkey or sheep, he shall repay double.
5
If an ish causes a field or vineyard to be grazed, and lets his beast loose so that it grazes in the field of another, from the best of his own field and from the best of his own vineyard he shall repay.
6
If fire goes out and catches in thorns, and stacked grain or standing grain or the field is consumed, repaying, the one who kindled the fire shall surely repay.
7
If an ish gives his neighbor silver or vessels to guard, and it is stolen from the house of the ish, if the thief is found, he shall repay double.
8
If the thief is not found, then the master of the house shall draw near to the elohim, to determine whether he put his hand upon the property of his neighbor.
9
For every matter of transgression—concerning an ox, concerning a donkey, concerning a sheep, concerning a garment, concerning any lost thing of which one says, ‘This is it’—the matter of both shall come before the elohim. The one whom the elohim declare guilty shall repay double to his neighbor.
10
If an ish gives his neighbor a donkey, or an ox, or a sheep, or any beast to guard, and it dies or is injured or is taken away with no one seeing,
11
then an oath of Yahuah shall be between them both, whether he put his hand upon the property of his neighbor. And its owner shall accept it, and he shall not repay.
12
But if stealing, it is stolen from him, he shall repay its owner.
13
If tearing, it is torn by beasts, he shall bring it as evidence. He shall not repay what was torn.
14
And if an ish borrows from his neighbor, and it is injured or dies while its owner is not with it, repaying, he shall surely repay.
15
If its owner is with it, he shall not repay. If it was hired, it came for its hire.
16
And if an ish entices a virgin who is not betrothed and lies with her, paying, he shall surely pay the bride-price for her to become his ishah.
17
If her father utterly refuses to give her to him, he shall weigh out silver according to the bride-price of virgins.
18
You shall not permit a sorceress to live.
19
Whoever lies with a beast, dying, he shall surely die.
20
Whoever sacrifices to elohim, except to Yahuah alone, shall be devoted to destruction.
21
And you shall not mistreat a sojourner, nor oppress him, for you were sojourners in the land of Mitzrayim.
22
You shall not afflict any widow or orphan.
23
If afflicting, you afflict them, and crying, they cry out to Me, hearing, I will surely hear their cry.
24
And My anger shall burn, and I will kill you with the sword, and your women shall become widows and your sons orphans.
25
If you lend silver to My people, to the poor among you, you shall not be to him as a creditor. You shall not place interest upon him.
26
If taking in pledge, you take the garment of your neighbor, you shall return it to him before the sun goes down,
27
for that alone is his covering; it is his garment for his skin. In what shall he lie down? And it shall be, when he cries out to Me, that I will hear, for I am gracious.
28
You shall not curse the elohim, and you shall not curse a ruler among your people.
29
You shall not delay from your fullness and from your outflow. The firstborn of your sons you shall give to Me.
30
Thus you shall do with your ox and with your sheep. Seven days it shall be with its mother; on the eighth day you shall give it to Me.
31
And you shall be holy men to Me. Therefore you shall not eat flesh torn by beasts in the field; you shall cast it to the dogs.”
