New Testament

Exodus 22:11-26 Modern English Version (MEV)

11. then there will be an oath before the Lord between both of them that he has not laid his hand upon his neighbor’s property. And its owner must accept this, and he will not have to make restitution.

12. However, if it was stolen from him, he shall make restitution to its owner.

13. If it is torn in pieces, then let him bring it as evidence, and he will not have to repay for that which was torn.

14. If a man borrows anything from his neighbor, and it is hurt or dies when the owner was not with it, then he shall surely make restitution.

15. But if the owner was with it, he shall not make restitution. If it was a hired thing, it came with his hire.

16. If a man seduces a virgin who is not engaged and has relations with her, he must surely endow her to be his wife.

17. If her father absolutely refuses to give her to him, he must pay money according to the dowry of virgins.

18. You must not allow a sorceress to live.

19. Whoever has relations with a beast must surely be put to death.

20. He who sacrifices to any god other than the Lord alone shall be utterly destroyed.

21. You must neither wrong a foreigner nor oppress him, for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt.

22. You shall not afflict any widow or orphan.

23. If you afflict them in any way and they cry at all to Me, I will surely hear their cry.

24. And My anger will burn, and I will kill you with the sword, and your wives will become widows, and your children fatherless.

25. If you lend money to any of My people who is poor among you, do not be a creditor to him, and do not charge him interest.

26. If you take your neighbor’s garment as a pledge, you shall return it to him before the sun goes down,
