02:022:012 And if it be stolen from him, he shall make restitution unto
the owner thereof.
02:022:013 If it be torn in pieces, then let him bring it for witness,
and he shall not make good that which was torn.
02:022:014 And if a man borrow ought of his neighbour, and it be hurt,
or die, the owner thereof being not with it, he shall surely make it
good.
02:022:015 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.
02:022:016 And if a man entice a maid that is not betrothed, and lie
with her, he shall surely endow her to be his wife.
02:022:017 If her father utterly refuse to give her unto him, he shall
pay money according to the dowry of virgins.
02:022:018 Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.
02:022:019 Whosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death.
02:022:020 He that sacrificeth unto any god, save unto the LORD only,
he shall be utterly destroyed.
02:022:021 Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him: for ye
were strangers in the land of Egypt.
02:022:022 Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child.
02:022:023 If thou afflict them in any wise, and they cry at all unto
me, I will surely hear their cry;
02:022:024 And my wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the
sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.
02:022:025 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.
02:022:026 If thou at all take thy neighbour's raiment to pledge, thou
shalt deliver it unto him by that the sun goeth down:
02:022:027 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.
02:022:028 Thou shalt not revile the gods, nor curse the ruler of thy
people.
02:022:029 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.
02:022:030 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.
02:022:031 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.
02:023:001 Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand with
the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.
02:023:002 Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt
thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment:
02:023:003 Neither shalt thou countenance a poor man in his cause.
02:023:004 If thou meet thine enemy's ox or his ass going astray, thou
shalt surely bring it back to him again.
02:023:005 If thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lying under his
burden, and wouldest forbear to help him, thou shalt surely help with
him.
02:023:006 Thou shalt not wrest the judgment of thy poor in his cause.
