New Testament

Exodus 22:8-21 Webster Bible Translation (WBT)

8. If the thief shall not be found, then the master of the house shall be brought to the judges, to see whether he hath put his hand to his neighbor's goods.

9. For all manner of trespass, whether it be for ox, for ass, for sheep, for raiment, or for any manner of lost thing which another challengeth to be his: the cause of both parties shall come before the judges; and he whom the judges shall condemn, shall pay double to his neighbor.

10. If a man shall deliver to his neighbor an ass, or an ox, or a sheep, or any beast to keep; and it shall die, or be hurt, or driven away, no man seeing it:

11. Then shall an oath of the LORD be between them both, that he hath not put his hand to his neighbor's goods; and the owner of it shall accept of it, and he shall not make restitution.

12. And if it shall be stolen from him, he shall make restitution to the owner of it.

13. If it shall be torn in pieces; then let him bring it for witness, and he shall not make good that which was torn.

14. And if a man shall borrow aught of his neighbor, and it shall be hurt, or die, the owner of it being not with it, he shall surely make it good.

15. But if the owner of it shall be with it, he shall not make it good: if it be a hired thing, it came for his hire.

16. And if a man shall entice a maid that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely endow her to be his wife.

17. If her father shall utterly refuse to give her to him, he shall pay money according to the dower of virgins.

18. Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.

19. Whoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death.

20. He that sacrificeth to any god, save to the LORD only, he shall be utterly destroyed.

21. Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
