MLV(i)
1 If a man will steal an ox, or a sheep and kill it, or sell it, he will pay five oxen for an ox and four sheep for a sheep.
2 If the thief is found breaking in and be struck so that he dies, there will be no blood-guilt for him. 3 If the sun has risen upon him, there will be blood-guilt for him. A thief will make restitution. If he has nothing, then he will be sold for his theft. 4 If the theft is found in his hand alive, whether it is ox, or donkey, or sheep, he will pay double.
5 If a man will cause a field or vineyard to be eaten and will let his beast loose and it feeds in another man's field, he will make restitution of the best of his own field and of 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 will surely make restitution. 7 If a man will deliver to his neighbor money or stuff to keep and it is stolen out of the man's house, if the thief be found, he will pay double. 8 If the thief is not found, then the master of the house will come near to God, to see whether he has not put his hand to his neighbor's goods.
9 For every matter of trespass, whether it is for ox, for donkey, for sheep, for garments, or for any manner of lost thing, of which a man says, This is it, the case of both parties will come before God. He whom God will condemn will pay double to his neighbor.
10 If a man delivers to his neighbor a donkey, or an ox, or a sheep, or any beast, to keep and it dies, or be hurt, or driven away, no man seeing it, 11 the oath of Jehovah will be between them both, whether he has not put his hand to his neighbor's goods. And the owner of it will accept it and he will not make restitution.
12 But if it is stolen from him, he will make restitution to the owner of it. 13 If it is torn in pieces, let him bring it for evidence. He will not make good what was torn.
14 And if a man borrows anything of his neighbor and it is hurt, or die, the owner of it not being with it, he will surely make restitution. 15 If the owner of it is with it, he will not make it good. If it is a hired thing, it came for its hire.
16 And if a man entices a virgin who is not betrothed and lies with her, he will surely pay wedding-money for her to be his wife. 17 If her father utterly refuses to give her to him, he will pay money according to the wedding-money of virgins.
18 You will not allow a sorceress to live.
19 Whoever lies with a beast will surely be put to death.
20 He who sacrifices to any god, except to Jehovah only, will be utterly destroyed.
21 And you will not wrong a traveler, neither will you oppress him, because you* were travelers in the land of Egypt.
22 You* will not afflict any widow, or fatherless child. 23 If you afflict them at all and they cry at all to me, I will surely hear their cry, 24 and my wrath will grow hot and I will kill you* with the sword and your* wives will be widows and your* sons fatherless.
25 If you lend money to any of my people with you who is poor, you will not be to him as a creditor, neither will you* lay upon him interest.
26 If you at all take your neighbor's garment to pledge, you will restore it to him before the sun goes down, 27 because that is his only covering. It is his garment for his skin. How will he sleep? And it will happen, when he cries to me, that I will hear, because I am gracious.
28 You will not revile God, nor speak ill of a ruler of your people.
29 You will not delay to offer from your harvest and from the outflow of your presses. The firstborn of your sons you will give to me. 30 Likewise you will do with your oxen and with your sheep. Seven days it will be with its dam. On the eighth day you will give it me.
31 And you* will be holy men to me. Therefore you* will not eat any flesh that is torn of beasts in the field. You* will cast it to the dogs.
