¶ If a man steal an ox or sheep and kill it or sell it, he shall restore five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep.
If a thief be found breaking up and be smitten that he die, there shall no blood be shed for him:
except the sonne be up when he is found, then there shall be blood shed for him. A thief shall make restitution: If he have not wherewith, he shall be sold for his theft.
If the theft be found in his hand alive (whether it be ox, ass or sheep) he shall restore double.
If a man do hurt field or vineyard, so that he put in his beast to 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 the thorns, so that the stoukes of corn or the stonding corn or field be consumed therewith: he that kindled the fire shall make restitution.
¶ If a man deliver his neighbour money or stuff to keep, and it be stolen out of his house: If the thief be found, he shall pay double.
If the thief be not found, then the goodman of the house shall be brought unto the gods and swear, whether he have put his hand unto his neighbour's good.
And in all manner of trespass, whether it be ox, ass, sheep, raiment or any manner lost thing which another challengeth to be his, the cause of both parties shall come before the gods. And whom the gods condemn: the same shall pay double unto his neighbour.
If a man deliver unto his neighbour to keep, ass, ox, sheep or whatsoever beast it be and it die or be hurt or driven away and no man see it:
then shall an oath of the LORD go between them, whether he have put his hand unto his neighbour's good, and the owner of it shall take the oath, and the other shall not make it good.
If it be stolen from him, then he shall make restitution unto the owner:
If it be torn with wild beasts, then let him bring record of the tearing: and he shall not make it good.
When a man borroweth ought of his neighbour if it be hurt or else die, and if the owner thereof be not by, he shall make it good:
If the owner thereof be by, he shall not make it good, namely if it be an hired thing and came for hire.
¶ If a man beguile a maid that is not betrothed and lie with her, he shall endote her and take her to his wife:
If her father 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 be slain for it.
He that offereth unto any gods save unto the LORD only, let him die without redemption.
Vex not a stranger neither oppress him for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
Ye shall trouble no widow nor fatherless child:
If ye shall trouble them: they shall cry unto me, and I will surely hear their cry
and then will my wrath wax hot and I will kill you with 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 as an usurer unto him, neither shalt oppress him with usury.
If thou take thy neighbour's raiment to pledge, see that thou deliver it unto him again by that the sonne go down.
For that is his coverlet only: even the raiment for his skin wherein he sleepeth: or else he will cry unto me and I will hear him, for I am merciful.
Thou shalt not rail upon the gods, neither curse the ruler of thy people.
Thy fruits (whether they be dry or moist) see thou keep not back. Thy firstborn son thou shalt give me:
likewise shalt thou do of thine oxen and of thy sheep. Seven days it shall be with the dam, and the eighth day thou shalt give it me.
Ye shall be holy people unto me, and therefore shall ye eat no flesh that is torn of beasts in the field. But shall cast it to dogs.
Praise the Everlasting Lord for His Faithful Word.
