Chapter 22
|
|
|
If a man shall steal an ox, or a sheep,
and kill it, or sell it; he shall restore five oxen for
an ox, and four sheep for a sheep.
Luke 19:8 |
|
|
If a thief be found breaking up, and be
smitten that he die, there shall no blood be shed for him. |
|
|
If the sun be risen upon him, there
shall be blood shed for him; for he should make full
restitution; if he have nothing, then he shall be sold
for his theft. |
|
|
If the theft be certainly found in his
hand alive, whether it be ox, or ass, or sheep; he shall
restore double. |
|
|
If a man shall cause a field or vineyard
to be eaten, and shall put in his beast, and shall feed
in another man's field; of the best of his own field, and
of the best of his own vineyard, shall he make
restitution. |
|
|
If fire break out, and catch in thorns,
so that the stacks of corn, or the standing corn, or the
field, be consumed therewith; he that kindled the fire
shall surely make restitution. |
|
|
If a man shall deliver unto his neighbor
money or stuff to keep, and it be stolen out of the man's
house; if the thief be found, let him pay double. |
|
|
If the thief be not found, then the
master of the house shall be brought unto the judges, to
see whether he have put his hand unto his neighbor's
goods. |
|
|
For all manner of trespass, whether it
be for ox, for ass, for sheep, for raiment, or for any
manner of lost thing which another challengeth to be his,
the cause of both parties shall come before the judges;
and whom the judges shall condemn, he shall pay double
unto his neighbor. |
|
|
If a man deliver unto his neighbor an
ass, or an ox, or a sheep, or any beast, to keep; and it
die, or be hurt, or driven away, no man seeing it: |
|
|
Then shall an oath of the LORD be
between them both, that he hath not put his hand unto his
neighbor's goods; and the owner of it shall accept
thereof, and he shall not make it good. |
|
|
And if it be stolen from him, he shall
make restitution unto the owner thereof. |
|
|
If it be torn in pieces, then let him
bring it for witness, and he shall not make good that
which was torn. |
|
|
And if a man borrow ought of his
neighbor, and it be hurt, or die, the owner thereof being
not with it, he shall surely make it good. |
|
|
But if the owner thereof be with it, he
shall not make it good: if it be an hired thing, it came
for his hire. |
|
|
And if a man entice a maid that is not
betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely endow her to
be his wife. |
|
|
If her father utterly refuse to give
her unto him, he shall pay money according to the dowry
of virgins. |
|
|
Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live. |
|
|
Whosoever lieth with a beast shall
surely be put to death. |
|
|
He that sacrificeth unto any god, save
unto the LORD only, he shall be utterly destroyed. |
|
|
Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor
oppress him: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt. |
|
|
Ye shall not afflict any widow, or
fatherless child. |
|
|
If thou afflict them in any wise, and
they cry at all unto me, I will surely hear their cry; |
|
|
And my wrath shall wax hot, and I will
kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows,
and your children fatherless. |
|
|
If thou lend money to any of my people
that is poor by thee, thou shalt not be to him as an
usurer, neither shalt thou lay upon him usury. |
|
|
If thou at all take thy neighbor's
raiment to pledge, thou shalt deliver it unto him by that
the sun goeth down: |
|
|
For that is his covering only, it is
his raiment for his skin: wherein shall he sleep? and it
shall come to pass, when he crieth unto me, that I will
hear; for I am gracious. |
|
|
Thou shalt not revile the gods, nor curse the ruler of thy people.
Acts 23:5 |
|
|
Thou shalt not delay to offer the first
of thy ripe fruits, and of thy liquors: the firstborn of
thy sons shalt thou give unto me. |
|
|
Likewise shalt thou do with thine oxen,
and with thy sheep: seven days it shall be with his dam;
on the eighth day thou shalt give it me. |
|
|
And ye shall be holy men unto me:
neither shall ye eat any flesh that is torn of beasts in
the field; ye shall cast it to the dogs. |
