²If the thief is found breaking in , and is struck so that he dies, there shall be no guilt of bloodshed for him .

³If the sun has risen on him , he is guilty of bloodshed. He shall make restitution . If he has nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft .

⁴If the stolen property is found in his hand alive, whether it is ox, donkey, or sheep, he shall pay double.

⁵“If a man causes a field or vineyard to be eaten by letting his animal loose, and it grazes 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 breaks out , and catches in thorns so that the shocks of grain, or the standing grain, or the field are consumed; he who kindled the fire shall surely make restitution .

⁷“If a man delivers to his neighbour money or stuff to keep , and it is stolen out of the man ’s house , if the thief is found , he shall pay double.

⁸If the thief isn’t found, then the master of the house shall come near to God , to find out whether or not he has put his hand on his neighbour ’s goods.

⁹For every matter of trespass, whether it is for ox , for donkey , for sheep , for clothing, or for any kind of lost thing , about which one says, ‘This is mine ,’ the cause of both parties shall come before God . He whom God condemns shall pay double to his neighbour .

¹⁰“If a man delivers to his neighbour a donkey, an ox, a sheep, or any animal to keep , and it dies or is injured, or driven away , no man seeing it ;

¹¹the oath of the LORD shall be between them both, he has not put his hand on his neighbour’s goods; and its owner shall accept it , and he shall not make restitution .

¹²But if it is stolen from him , the one who stole shall make restitution to its owner.

¹³If it is torn in pieces , let him bring it for evidence. He shall not make good that which was torn .

¹⁴“If a man borrows anything of his neighbour’s, and it is injured, or dies, its owner not being with it , he shall surely make restitution .

¹⁵If its owner is with it , he shall not make it good. If it is a leased thing , it came for its lease.

¹⁶“If a man entices a virgin who isn’t pledged to be married, and lies with her , he shall surely pay a dowry for her to be his wife.

¹⁷If her father utterly refuses to give her to him , he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.

¹⁹“Whoever has sex with an animal shall surely be put to death.

²⁰“He who sacrifices to any god , except to the LORD only , shall be utterly destroyed.

²¹“You shall not wrong an alien or oppress him , for you were aliens in the land of Egypt.

²²“You shall not take advantage of any widow or fatherless child.

²³If you take advantage of them at all , and they cry at all to me , I will surely hear their cry;

²⁴and my wrath will grow hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows , and your children fatherless.

²⁵“If you lend money to any of my people with you who is poor, you shall not be to him as a creditor. You shall not charge him interest.

²⁶If you take your neighbour’s garment as collateral, you shall restore it to him before the sun goes down ,

²⁷for that is his only covering, it is his garment for his skin. What would he sleep in ? It will happen, when he cries to me , that I will hear, for I am gracious.

²⁸“You shall not blaspheme God , nor curse a ruler of your people .

²⁹“You shall not delay to offer from your harvest and from the outflow of your presses.

“You shall give the firstborn of your sons to me .

³⁰You shall do likewise with your cattle and with your sheep. It shall be with its mother seven days, then on the eighth day you shall give it to me .

³¹“You shall be holy men to me, therefore you shall not eat any meat that is torn by animals in the field. You shall cast it to the dogs.
