Shemot 22:10-28 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

10. (9) If an ish deliver unto his re'a a donkey, or an ox, or a seh, or any behemah, to be shomer over; and it die, or be injured, or carried away, with no eye witness;

11. (10) Then shall a shevuat Hashem be between them both, that he hath not laid his yad on the property of his re'a; and the property's ba'al shall accept thereof, and he shall not make restitution.

12. (11) And if it be certainly stolen from him, he shall make restitution unto the ba'al thereof.

13. (12) If it be indeed tarof (torn by a wild animal, predator), then let him bring it for ed (witness), and he shall not make restitution for the terefah (torn animal).

14. (13) And if an ish asks to borrow of his re'a, and the animal borrowed be injured, or die, the ba'al thereof being not with it, he shall surely make restitution.

15. (14) But if the ba'al thereof be with it, he shall not make restitution; if it be sakhir (rented, hired), it came for its hire.

16. (15) And if an ish entice a betulah that is not orasah (betrothed, pledged), and lie with her, he shall surely endow her with a marriage contract as his isha.

17. (16) If her av utterly refuse to give her unto him, he shall pay kesef according to the mohar habetulah (marriage contract, dowry of the virgins).

18. (17) Thou shalt not allow a mekhashefah (witch, sorceress) to live.

19. (18) Kol shochev (every one having sexual relations) with a behemah shall surely be put to death.

20. (19) He that sacrificeth unto elohim (the g-ds), other than unto Hashem only, he shall be destroyed.

21. (20) Thou shalt neither mistreat a ger, nor oppress him; for ye were gerim in Eretz Mitzrayim.

22. (21) Ye shall not cause pain to any almanah, or yatom.

23. (22) If thou cause them pain in any way, and they cry at all unto Me, I will surely hear their cry;

24. (23) And My wrath shall be kindled, and I will kill you with the cherev; and your nashim shall be almanot, and your banim shall be yetomim.

25. (24) If thou lend kesef to any of My people that is poor among thee, thou shalt not be to him as a nosheh (a usurer), neither shalt thou lay upon him neshekh (usury, interest).

26. (25) If thou at all take the cloak of thy re'a as security, thou shalt return it unto him by bo hashemesh (sunset);

27. (26) For that is his covering only, it is his cloak for his skin; wherein shall he sleep? And it shall come to pass, when he crieth unto Me, that I will hear; for I am channun (compassionate).

28. (27) Thou shalt not revile Elohim, nor curse the nasi of thy people.
