1 ¶ 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.

`When a man doth steal an ox or sheep, and hath slaughtered it or sold it, five of the herd he doth repay for the ox, and four of the flock for the sheep.

2 I f a thief is found breaking into a house and is smitten so he dies, he that killed him shall not be guilty of his blood.

`If in the breaking through, the thief is found, and he hath been smitten, and hath died, there is no blood for him;

3 I f the sun is risen upon him, he that killed him is guilty of his blood; the thief should make full restitution; if he has nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.

if the sun hath risen upon him, blood for him, he doth certainly repay; if he have nothing, then he hath been sold for his theft;

4 I f he is found with the theft in his hand, whether it be ox or ass or sheep, he shall restore double.

if the theft is certainly found in his hand alive, whether ox, or ass, or sheep -- double he repayeth.

5 I f 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.

`When a man depastureth a field or vineyard, and hath sent out his beast, and it hath pastured in the field of another, the best of his field, and the best of his vineyard, he doth repay.

6 W hen fires are lit and in burning the thorns burn also the stacks of sheaves or the standing grain, or the field is consumed; he that kindled the fire shall surely make restitution.

`When fire goeth forth, and hath found thorns, and a stack, or the standing corn, or the field, hath been consumed, he who causeth the burning doth certainly repay.

7 ¶ When a man shall deliver unto his neighbour money or stuff to keep, and it is stolen out of the man’s house; if the thief is found, let him pay double.

`When a man doth give unto his neighbour silver, or vessels to keep, and it hath been stolen out of the man's house; if the thief is found, he repayeth double.

8 I f the thief is not found, then the master of the house shall be brought unto the judges to see whether he has put his hand unto his neighbour’s goods.

`If the thief is not found, then the master of the house hath been brought near unto God, whether he hath not put forth his hand against the work of his neighbour;

9 F or all manner of fraud, whether it be for an ox, for an ass, for a sheep, for raiment, or for any manner of lost thing, which another challenges 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 neighbour.

for every matter of transgression, for ox, for ass, for sheep, for raiment, for any lost thing of which it is said that it is his; unto God cometh the matter of them both; he whom God doth condemn, he repayeth double to his neighbour.

10 I f a man delivers unto his neighbour an ass or an ox or a sheep or any beast to keep, and it dies or is hurt or driven away, no man seeing it,

`When a man doth give unto his neighbour an ass, or ox, or sheep, or any beast to keep, and it hath died, or hath been hurt, or taken captive, none seeing --

11 t hen shall an oath of the LORD be between them both, that he has not put his hand unto his neighbour’s goods, and the owner of it shall accept thereof, and he shall not make it good.

an oath of Jehovah is between them both, that he hath not put forth his hand against the work of his neighbour, and its owner hath accepted, and he doth not repay;

12 A nd if it is stolen from him, he shall make restitution unto its owner.

but if it is certainly stolen from him, he doth repay to its owner;

13 I f it is torn in pieces, then let him bring witness, and he shall not make good that which was torn.

if it is certainly torn, he bringeth it in -- a witness; the torn thing he doth not repay.

14 A nd if anyone borrows anything of his neighbour, and it is hurt or dies, its owner not being with it, he shall surely make it good.

`And when a man doth ask from his neighbour, and it hath been hurt or hath died -- its owner not being with it -- he doth certainly repay;

15 B ut if its owner is with it, he shall not make it good; if it was hired, it came for its hire.

if its owner with it, he doth not repay, -- if it a hired thing, it hath come for its hire.

16 ¶ If a man should entice a virgin that is not betrothed and lie with her, he shall surely endow her and take her to be his wife.

`And when a man doth entice a virgin who not betrothed, and hath lain with her, he doth certainly endow her to himself for a wife;

17 I f her father utterly refuses to give her unto him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.

if her father utterly refuse to give her to him, money he doth weigh out according to the dowry of virgins.

18 T hou shalt not suffer a witch to live.

`A witch thou dost not keep alive.

19 W hoever lies with a beast shall surely be put to death.

`Whoever lieth with a beast is certainly put to death.

20 H e that sacrifices unto any god, except unto the LORD only, he shall be utterly destroyed.

`He who is sacrificing to a god, save to Jehovah alone, is devoted.

21 T hou shalt neither mistreat a stranger nor oppress him; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.

`And a sojourner thou dost not oppress, nor crush him, for sojourners ye have been in the land of Egypt.

22 Y e shall not afflict any widow or fatherless child.

`Any widow or orphan ye do not afflict;

23 I f thou afflict them in any manner, and they cry at all unto me, I will surely hear their cry;

if thou dost really afflict him, surely if he at all cry unto Me, I certainly hear his cry;

24 a nd my wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.

and Mine anger hath burned, and I have slain you by the sword, and your wives have been widows, and your sons orphans.

25 ¶ If thou should lend money to my people, to the poor who is with thee, thou shalt not be to him as a usurer, neither shalt thou lay upon him usury.

`If thou dost lend My poor people with thee money, thou art not to him as a usurer; thou dost not lay on him usury;

26 I f thou at all take thy neighbour’s clothing as a pledge, thou shalt deliver it unto him before the sun goes down;

if thou dost at all take in pledge the garment of thy neighbour, during the going in of the sun thou dost return it to him:

27 f or only that is his covering, it is his clothing to cover his flesh, in which he must sleep; and it shall come to pass, when he cries unto me, that I will hear, for I am merciful.

for it alone is his covering, it his garment for his skin; wherein doth he lie down? and it hath come to pass, when he doth cry unto Me, that I have heard, for I gracious.

28 T hou shalt not revile the judges nor curse the prince of thy people.

`God thou dost not revile, and a prince among thy people thou dost not curse.

29 T hou 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.

`Thy fulness and thy liquids thou dost not delay; the first-born of thy sons thou dost give to Me;

30 L ikewise 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 to me.

so thou dost to thine ox, to thy sheep; seven days it is with its dam, on the eighth day thou dost give it to Me.

31 A nd 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.

`And ye are holy men to Me, and flesh torn in the field ye do not eat, to a dog ye do cast it.
