Exodus 22:14-24 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

14. “ ‘If a man borrows from his neighbor and it is injured or dies while its owner is not with it, he will make restitution.

15. If its owner was with it, he will not make restitution; if it was hired, it came with its hiring fee.

16. “ ‘If a man seduces a virgin who is not engaged and he lies with her, he surely will give her bride price to have her as his wife.

17. If her father absolutely refuses to give her to him, he will weigh out money according to the bride price for the virgin.

18. “ ‘You will not let a witch live.

19. “ ‘Anyone lying with an animal will surely be put to death.

20. “ ‘Whoever sacrifices to the gods—not to Yahweh, to him alone—will be destroyed.

21. “ ‘You will not mistreat an alien, and you will not oppress him, because you were aliens in the land of Egypt.

22. “ ‘You will not afflict any widow or orphan.

23. If you indeed afflict him, yes, if he cries out at all to me, I will certainly hear his cry of distress.

24. And I will become angry, and I will kill you with the sword, and your wives will be widows and your children orphans.
