More rules about everyday life

Exo 22:16–31

16 If 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] 17 If her father absolutely refuses to give her to him, the man must still pay the normal bride price in cash.

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

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

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

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

25 If you loan money to any my people who are poor, you mustn’t act like an impartial creditor to them—you mustn’t charge them interest.[ref] 26 If you actually take the your neighbour’s cloak as a security, you must return it to them by sunset,[ref] 27 because 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.

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

29 You 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, 30 plus 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.

31 You 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]

Deu 17:2-7:

2 In any of the towns that your god Yahweh is giving you, if you discover any man or woman who does evil by disobeying the agreement that he’s made with you 3 and worshipped other gods, or the sun, moon, or stars—all of which I’ve prohibited you from doing,[ref] 4 and it’s reported to you, and you listen and investigate it thoroughly, and it’s true that this detestable thing was done in Yisrael (Israel), 5 you must bring that man or woman out to the town gates, and execute them by throwing rocks at them. 6 Note that that person can only be executed if there’s at least two witnesses as evidence—no one can be put to death on the testimony of just one witness.[ref] 7 The witnesses must be the ones to throw the first rocks then all the other people after that, and that’s how you’ll remove evil from your society.[ref]

Deu 15:7-11:

7 In the towns that your god Yahweh is giving you, if it so happens that any of your fellow Israelis are poor, then don’t just ignore them and refuse to help them,[ref] 8 but instead, open your wallet and lend them however much they need. 9 Be careful not to quietly think to yourself that the seventh-year reset is close so they won’t have to pay it back. It would be wrong not to help a fellow Israeli, and if you did and he called out to Yahweh for help, then it would be counted against you as disobedience. 10 Give generously to the poor without getting resentful inside, because then your god Yahweh can bless you in all your work and all your investments. 11 There’ll always be poor people in your country,[ref] so I command you to give generously to the poor and needy and your fellow Israelis.
