UST EXO Chapter 22

EXO 22 ©

22If someone steals a bull or a sheep and then kills it or sells it, he must give the owner five bulls or cows for the bull that he stole, and he must give the owner four sheep or goats for the sheep that he stole.

2If someone finds a thief breaking into his house at night and hits him and the thief dies, he is not guilty of murder. 3But if that happens during the daytime, the one who killed the thief is guilty of murdering him.

A thief must pay for what he stole. If he has nothing with which to pay for what he stole, the judges must sell him to become a slave, and the money from his sale will pay for what he stole. 4In a case where you catch a thief and he still has the stolen goods, if it is a bull or a donkey or a sheep, and it is still alive, the thief must pay back the stolen animal as well as another one of the same kind.

5If someone puts his animals in his field or in his vineyard to eat, and he allows the to animals stray away and eat the plants in another person’s field, the owner of the animals must pay the owner of that field by giving him the best from his own field or vineyard.

6If someone starts a fire, and it spreads through the grass and starts burning in someone else’s field, and the fire burns grain that is growing or grain that is already cut and stacked, then the person who started the fire must pay for the grain that the fire destroyed.

7Suppose that someone gives another person some money or other items and asks him to keep it in his house for a while. And suppose that a thief steals it from that person’s house. If you catch the thief, the thief must pay back twice as much as he stole. 8But if no one catches the thief, you must bring the owner of the house to God so he can swear that he did not take his neighbor’s property. 9Whenever someone claims his neighbor wronged him and says, ‘This is actually mine,’ about a bull, a donkey, a sheep, clothing, or something else he lost, they must both come and stand before God. The one whom God says is wrong must pay back the owner twice as much as he took.

10Suppose someone gives his donkey or bull or sheep or some other animal to someone else and asks him to take care of it for a while. However, the animal dies, or something injures it or takes it away while no one is watching. 11Then the person who was taking care of the animal must swear, knowing that Yahweh is listening, that he did not steal the item. The owner of the animal must accept that the other person is telling the truth, and the other person will not have to pay anything back to the owner. 12But if someone stole the animal while he was supposed to be taking care of it, the man who promised to take care of it must pay back the owner for the animal. 13If wild animals mauled the animal, he must bring back its remains to prove that what he says is true. If he does that, he will not have to pay anything for the mauled animal.

14If someone borrows an animal from his neighbor, and if something hurts or kills that animal when its owner is not there, the one who borrowed it must pay the owner for the animal. 15But if that happens when the owner of the animal is there, the one who borrowed it will not have to pay back anything. If someone rented it, the money that he paid to rent it will be enough to pay for the animal dying or for an injury.

16If a man tricks a virgin girl whose father has not yet promised her to be anyone’s bride into having sexual intercourse with him, he must pay the bride price for her and marry her. 17But if her father does not allow her to marry him, he must still pay the girl’s father as much money as men pay to marry a virgin.

18You must kill any woman who practices sorcery.

19You must kill any person who has sexual intercourse with an animal.

20You must kill anyone who offers a sacrifice to any god other than Yahweh.

21You must not abuse or subjugate foreigners, because you were foreigners in Egypt.

22You must not mistreat any widow or any orphan. 23If you mistreat them and they ask me to help them, I will help them. 24Because I will be angry with you, I will cause you to die in war. Your wives will become widows, and your children will become orphans.

25If you lend money to any of my people who are poor, do not act like a moneylender by requiring him to pay interest on the money. 26If you make him give you his cloak to guarantee that he will pay the money back, you must give the cloak back to him before the sun goes down, 27because his cloak is the only thing he has to cover his body when he sleeps. When he complains about you to me, I will help him because I am merciful.

28Do not insult God, and do not call on God to do harmful things to any ruler of your people.

29Do not withhold from me the best parts of the grain that you harvest or of the olive oil or the wine that you produce.

You will give your firstborn sons to me. 30Similarly, your firstborn male cattle and sheep belong to me. After those animals are born, allow them to stay with their mothers for seven days. On the eighth day you will give them to me.

31You are my set apart people, so do not eat any meat from any animal that a wild animal killed. Instead, throw it where the dogs can eat it.
