22:16 More rules about everyday life

16If a man entices a young woman who’s not engaged, and sleeps with her, he must certainly pay the bride price to her father for her to become his wife.[ref] 17If her father absolutely refuses to give her to him, the man must still pay the normal bride price in cash.

18You must execute any woman who practices sorcery.[ref]

19Anyone who has sex with an animal must be executed.[ref]

20You must execute anyone who offers a sacrifice to any god other than Yahweh.[ref]

21You mustn’t disadvantage or oppress any foreigner staying in your country, because you were foreigners staying in the land of Egypt.[ref] 22You mustn’t mistreat any widow or any fatherless child, 23because if you do and they ask me to help them, I’ll help them 24and get angry. I’ll cause you all to die in battle, and your wives will become widows and your children will become fatherless.

25If you loan money to any my people who’re poor, you mustn’t act like an impartial creditor to them—you mustn’t charge them interest.[ref] 26If you actually take the your neighbour’s cloak as a security, you must return it to them by sunset,[ref] 27because it’s their only covering. What else could they cover themselves with when they try to sleep? If they cry out to me, I’ll act on it, because I’m compassionate.

28You mustn’t insult God, and don’t curse your leaders.[ref]

29You mustn’t fail to give me the best parts of the grain that you harvest, or the best olive oil or wine that you produce.

You must give your firstborn sons to me, 30plus you must do the same with your cattle and your sheep and goats. The young must stay seven days with their mothers, then you must give them to me on the eighth day.

31You must be different from others because you’re dedicated to me. So you mustn’t eat the meat of animals that are mauled in the countryside—throw it to the dogs instead.[ref]
