New Testament

Exodus 22:26-31 New Century Version (NCV)

26. If your neighbor gives you his coat as a promise for the money he owes you, you must give it back to him by sunset,

27. because it is the only cover to keep his body warm. He has nothing else to sleep in. If he cries out to me for help, I will listen, because I am merciful.

28. “You must not speak against God or curse a leader of your people.

29. “Do not hold back your offering from the first of your harvest and the first wine that you make. Also, you must give me your firstborn sons.

30. You must do the same with your bulls and your sheep. Let the firstborn males stay with their mothers for seven days, and on the eighth day you must give them to me.

31. “You are to be my holy people. You must not eat the meat of any animal that has been killed by wild animals. Instead, give it to the dogs.
