== Shemos (Book of Exodus), Chapter 22 ==
<named id="1"/><sup>37</sup> If a man steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it, he shall pay five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep.
<named id="2"/><sup>1</sup> If a thief be found breaking in, and be smitten so that he dieth, there shall be no bloodguiltiness for him.
<named id="3"/><sup>2</sup> If the sun be risen upon him, there shall be bloodguiltiness for him--he shall make restitution; if he have nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.
<named id="4"/><sup>3</sup> If the theft be found in his hand alive, whether it be ox, or ass, or sheep, he shall pay double.
<named id="5"/><sup>4</sup> If a man cause a field or vineyard to be eaten, and shall let his beast loose, and it feed in another man's field; of the best of his own field, and of the best of his own vineyard, shall he make restitution.
<named id="6"/><sup>5</sup> If fire break out, and catch in thorns, so that the shocks of corn, or the standing corn, or the field are consumed; he that kindled the fire shall surely make restitution.
<named id="7"/><sup>6</sup> If a man deliver unto his neighbour money or stuff to keep, and it be stolen out of the man's house; if the thief be found, he shall pay double.
<named id="8"/><sup>7</sup> If the thief be not found, then the master of the house shall come near unto G-d, to see whether he have not put his hand unto his neighbour's goods.
<named id="9"/><sup>8</sup> For every matter of trespass, whether it be for ox, for ass, for sheep, for raiment, or for any manner of lost thing, whereof one saith: 'This is it,' the cause of both parties shall come before G-d; he whom G-d shall condemn shall pay double unto his neighbour.
<named id="10"/><sup>9</sup> If a man deliver unto his neighbour an ass, or an ox, or a sheep, or any beast, to keep, and it die, or be hurt, or driven away, no man seeing it;
<named id="11"/><sup>10</sup> the oath of HaShem shall be between them both, to see whether he have not put his hand unto his neighbour's goods; and the owner thereof shall accept it, and he shall not make restitution.
<named id="12"/><sup>11</sup> But if it be stolen from him, he shall make restitution unto the owner thereof.
<named id="13"/><sup>12</sup> If it be torn in pieces, let him bring it for witness; he shall not make good that which was torn.
<named id="14"/><sup>13</sup> And if a man borrow aught of his neighbour, and it be hurt, or die, the owner thereof not being with it, he shall surely make restitution.
<named id="15"/><sup>14</sup> If the owner thereof be with it, he shall not make it good; if it be a hireling, he loseth his hire.
<named id="16"/><sup>15</sup> And if a man entice a virgin that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely pay a dowry for her to be his wife.
<named id="17"/><sup>16</sup> If her father utterly refuse to give her unto him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.
<named id="18"/><sup>17</sup> Thou shalt not suffer a sorceress to live.
<named id="19"/><sup>18</sup> Whosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death.
<named id="20"/><sup>19</sup> He that sacrificeth unto the gods, save unto HaShem only, shall be utterly destroyed.
<named id="21"/><sup>20</sup> And a stranger shalt thou not wrong, neither shalt thou oppress him; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
<named id="22"/><sup>21</sup> Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child.
<named id="23"/><sup>22</sup> If thou afflict them in any wise--for if they cry at all unto Me, I will surely hear their cry--
<named id="24"/><sup>23</sup> My wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.
<named id="25"/><sup>24</sup> If thou lend money to any of My people, even to the poor with thee, thou shalt not be to him as a creditor; neither shall ye lay upon him interest.
<named id="26"/><sup>25</sup> If thou at all take thy neighbour's garment to pledge, thou shalt restore it unto him by that the sun goeth down;
<named id="27"/><sup>26</sup> for that is his only covering, it is his garment 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 gracious.
<named id="28"/><sup>27</sup> Thou shalt not revile G-d, nor curse a ruler of thy people.
<named id="29"/><sup>28</sup> Thou shalt not delay to offer of the fulness of thy harvest, and of the outflow of thy presses. The first-born of thy sons shalt thou give unto Me.
<named id="30"/><sup>29</sup> Likewise shalt thou do with thine oxen, and with thy sheep; seven days it shall be with its dam; on the eighth day thou shalt give it Me.
<named id="31"/><sup>30</sup> And ye shall be holy men unto Me; therefore ye shall not eat any flesh that is torn of beasts in the field; ye shall cast it to the dogs.
