Exodus 22:10-27 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

10. If a man deliver unto his neighbour an ass, or an ox, or a sheep, or any cattle, to keep, and it die, or be hurt, or driven away, and no man see it,

11. an oath of Jehovah shall be between them both, that he hath not put his hand unto his neighbour's goods; and the owner of it shall accept it, and he shall not make it good.

12. But if it have been stolen from him, he shall make it good unto its owner.

13. If it have been torn in pieces, let him bring it as witness: he shall not make good what was torn.

14. --And if a man borrow anything of his neighbour, and it be hurt, or die, its owner not being with it, he shall fully make it good;

15. if the owner thereof be with it, he shall not make it good; if it be a hired thing, it came for its hire.

16. And if a man seduce a virgin that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall certainly endow her, to be his wife.

17. If her father utterly refuse to give her unto him, he shall weigh money according to the dowry of virgins.

18. --Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.

19. --Every one that lieth with a beast shall certainly be put to death.

20. --He that sacrificeth to any god, save to Jehovah only, shall be devoted to destruction.

21. Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him; for ye have been strangers in the land of Egypt.

22. Ye shall not afflict any widow or fatherless child.

23. If thou afflict him in any way, if he cry at all unto me, I will certainly hear his cry;

24. and my anger shall burn, and I will slay you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.

25. --If thou lend money to my people, the poor with thee, thou shalt not be to him as a usurer: ye shall charge him no interest.

26. --If thou at all take thy neighbour's garment in pledge, thou shalt return it to him before the sun goes down;

27. for that is his only covering, his garment for his skin: on what shall he lie down? And it shall come to pass, when he crieth unto me, that I will hear; for I am gracious.
