11. an oath before the Lord shall be made by the two of them that he has not laid hands on his neighbor's property; and its owner shall accept it, and he shall not make restitution.

12. But if it is actually stolen from him, he shall make restitution to its owner.

13. If it is all torn to pieces, let him bring it as evidence; he shall not make restitution for what has been torn to pieces.

14. "If a man borrows anything from his neighbor, and it is injured or dies while its owner is not with it, he shall make full restitution.

15. If its owner is with it, he shall not make restitution; if it is hired, it came for its hire.

16. "If a man seduces a virgin who is not engaged, and lies with her, he must pay a dowry for her to be his wife.

17. If her father absolutely refuses to give her to him, he shall pay money equal to the dowry for virgins.

18. "You shall not allow a sorceress to live.

19. "Whoever lies with an animal shall surely be put to death.

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

21. "You shall not wrong a stranger or oppress him, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.

22. You shall not afflict any widow or orphan.

23. If you afflict him at all, and if he does cry out to Me, I will surely hear his cry;

24. and My anger will be kindled, and I will kill you with the sword, and your wives shall become widows and your children fatherless.
