JPS - Exodus - 22

22:1  If a thief be found breaking in, and be smitten so that he dieth, there shall be no bloodguiltiness for him.

22:2  If the sun be risen upon him, there shall be bloodguiltiness for him--he shall make restitution; if he have nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.

22:3  If the theft be found in his hand alive, whether it be ox, or ass, or sheep, he shall pay double.

22:4  If a man cause a field or vineyard to be eaten, and shall let his beast loose, and it 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.

22:5  If fire break out, and catch in thorns, so that the shocks of corn, or the standing corn, or the field are consumed; he that kindled the fire shall surely make restitution.

22:6  If a man deliver unto his neighbour money or stuff to keep, and it be stolen out of the man's house; if the thief be found, he shall pay double.

22:7  If the thief be not found, then the master of the house shall come near unto G-d, to see whether he have not put his hand unto his neighbour's goods.

22:8  For every matter of trespass, whether it be for ox, for ass, for sheep, for raiment, or for any manner of lost thing, whereof one saith: 'This is it,' the cause of both parties shall come before G-d; he whom G-d shall condemn shall pay double unto his neighbour.

22:9  If a man deliver unto his neighbour 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;

22:10  the oath of HaShem shall be between them both, to see whether he have not put his hand unto his neighbour's goods; and the owner thereof shall accept it, and he shall not make restitution.

22:11  But if it be stolen from him, he shall make restitution unto the owner thereof.

22:12  If it be torn in pieces, let him bring it for witness; he shall not make good that which was torn.

22:13  And if a man borrow aught of his neighbour, and it be hurt, or die, the owner thereof not being with it, he shall surely make restitution.

22:14  If the owner thereof be with it, he shall not make it good; if it be a hireling, he loseth his hire.

22:15  And if a man entice a virgin that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely pay a dowry for her to be his wife.

22:16  If her father utterly refuse to give her unto him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.

22:17  Thou shalt not suffer a sorceress to live.

22:18  Whosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death.

22:19  He that sacrificeth unto the gods, save unto HaShem only, shall be utterly destroyed.

22:20  And a stranger shalt thou not wrong, neither shalt thou oppress him; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.

22:21  Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child.

22:22  If thou afflict them in any wise--for if they cry at all unto Me, I will surely hear their cry--

22:23  My wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.

22:24  If thou lend money to any of My people, even to the poor with thee, thou shalt not be to him as a creditor; neither shall ye lay upon him interest.

22:25  If thou at all take thy neighbour's garment to pledge, thou shalt restore it unto him by that the sun goeth down;

22:26  for that is his only covering, it is his garment 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.

22:27  Thou shalt not revile G-d, nor curse a ruler of thy people.

22:28  Thou shalt not delay to offer of the fulness of thy harvest, and of the outflow of thy presses. The first-born of thy sons shalt thou give unto Me.

22:29  Likewise shalt thou do with thine oxen, and with thy sheep; seven days it shall be with its dam; on the eighth day thou shalt give it Me.

22:30  And ye shall be holy men unto Me; therefore ye shall not eat any flesh that is torn of beasts in the field; ye shall cast it to the dogs.
