¹ `When a man doth steal an ox or sheep, and hath slaughtered it or sold it, five of the herd he doth repay for the ox, and four of the flock for the sheep.

² `If in the breaking through, the thief is found, and he hath been smitten, and hath died, there is no blood for him;

³ if the sun hath risen upon him, blood [is] for him, he doth certainly repay; if he have nothing, then he hath been sold for his theft;

⁴ if the theft is certainly found in his hand alive, whether ox, or ass, or sheep -- double he repayeth.

⁵ `When a man depastureth a field or vineyard, and hath sent out his beast, and it hath pastured in the field of another, [of] the best of his field, and the best of his vineyard, he doth repay.

⁶ `When fire goeth forth, and hath found thorns, and a stack, or the standing corn, or the field, hath been consumed, he who causeth the burning doth certainly repay.

⁷ `When a man doth give unto his neighbour silver, or vessels to keep, and it hath been stolen out of the man's house; if the thief is found, he repayeth double.

⁸ `If the thief is not found, then the master of the house hath been brought near unto God, whether he hath not put forth his hand against the work of his neighbour;

⁹ for every matter of transgression, for ox, for ass, for sheep, for raiment, for any lost thing of which it is said that it is his; unto God cometh the matter of them both; he whom God doth condemn, he repayeth double to his neighbour.

¹⁰ `When a man doth give unto his neighbour an ass, or ox, or sheep, or any beast to keep, and it hath died, or hath been hurt, or taken captive, none seeing --

¹¹ an oath of Jehovah is between them both, that he hath not put forth his hand against the work of his neighbour, and its owner hath accepted, and he doth not repay;

¹² but if it is certainly stolen from him, he doth repay to its owner;

¹³ if it is certainly torn, he bringeth it in -- a witness; the torn thing he doth not repay.

¹⁴ `And when a man doth ask [anything] from his neighbour, and it hath been hurt or hath died -- its owner not being with it -- he doth certainly repay;

¹⁵ if its owner [is] with it, he doth not repay, -- if it [is] a hired thing, it hath come for its hire.

¹⁶ `And when a man doth entice a virgin who [is] not betrothed, and hath lain with her, he doth certainly endow her to himself for a wife;

¹⁷ if her father utterly refuse to give her to him, money he doth weigh out according to the dowry of virgins.

¹⁸ `A witch thou dost not keep alive.

¹⁹ `Whoever lieth with a beast is certainly put to death.

²⁰ `He who is sacrificing to a god, save to Jehovah alone, is devoted.

²¹ `And a sojourner thou dost not oppress, nor crush him, for sojourners ye have been in the land of Egypt.

²² `Any widow or orphan ye do not afflict;

²³ if thou dost really afflict him, surely if he at all cry unto Me, I certainly hear his cry;

²⁴ and Mine anger hath burned, and I have slain you by the sword, and your wives have been widows, and your sons orphans.

²⁵ `If thou dost lend My poor people with thee money, thou art not to him as a usurer; thou dost not lay on him usury;

²⁶ if thou dost at all take in pledge the garment of thy neighbour, during the going in of the sun thou dost return it to him:

²⁷ for it alone is his covering, it [is] his garment for his skin; wherein doth he lie down? and it hath come to pass, when he doth cry unto Me, that I have heard, for I [am] gracious.

²⁸ `God thou dost not revile, and a prince among thy people thou dost not curse.

²⁹ `Thy fulness and thy liquids thou dost not delay; the first-born of thy sons thou dost give to Me;

³⁰ so thou dost to thine ox, to thy sheep; seven days it is with its dam, on the eighth day thou dost give it to Me.

³¹ `And ye are holy men to Me, and flesh torn in the field ye do not eat, to a dog ye do cast it.

¹ `Thou dost not see the ox of thy brother or his sheep driven away, and hast hidden thyself from them, thou dost certainly turn them back to thy brother;

² and if thy brother [is] not near unto thee, and thou hast not known him, then thou hast removed it unto the midst of thy house, and it hath been with thee till thy brother seek it, and thou hast given it back to him;

³ and so thou dost to his ass, and so thou dost to his garment, and so thou dost to any lost thing of thy brother's, which is lost by him, and thou hast found it; thou art not able to hide thyself.

⁴ `Thou dost not see the ass of thy brother, or his ox, falling in the way, and hast hid thyself from them; thou dost certainly raise [them] up with him.

⁵ `The habiliments of a man are not on a woman, nor doth a man put on the garment of a woman, for the abomination of Jehovah thy God [is] any one doing these.

⁶ `When a bird's nest cometh before thee in the way, in any tree, or on the earth, brood or eggs, and the mother sitting on the brood or on the eggs, thou dost not take the mother with the young ones;

⁷ thou dost certainly send away the mother, and the young ones dost take to thyself, so that it is well with thee, and thou hast prolonged days.

⁸ `When thou buildest a new house, then thou hast made a parapet to thy roof, and thou dost not put blood on thy house when one falleth from it.

⁹ `Thou dost not sow thy vineyard [with] divers things, lest the fulness of the seed which thou dost sow, and the increase of the vineyard, be separated.

¹⁰ `Thou dost not plow with an ox and with an ass together.

¹¹ `Thou dost not put on a mixed cloth, wool and linen together.

¹² `Fringes thou dost make to thee on the four skirts of thy covering with which thou dost cover [thyself].

¹³ `When a man taketh a wife, and hath gone in unto her, and hated her,

¹⁴ and laid against her actions of words, and brought out against her an evil name, and said, This woman I have taken, and I draw near unto her, and I have not found in her tokens of virginity:

¹⁵ `Then hath the father of the damsel -- and her mother -- taken and brought out the tokens of virginity of the damsel unto the elders of the city in the gate,

¹⁶ and the father of the damsel hath said unto the elders, My daughter I have given to this man for a wife, and he doth hate her;

¹⁷ and lo, he hath laid actions of words, saying, I have not found to thy daughter tokens of virginity -- and these [are] the tokens of the virginity of my daughter! and they have spread out the garment before the elders of the city.

¹⁸ `And the elders of that city have taken the man, and chastise him,

¹⁹ and fined him a hundred silverlings, and given to the father of the damsel, because he hath brought out an evil name on a virgin of Israel, and she is to him for a wife, he is not able to send her away all his days.

²⁰ `And if this thing hath been truth -- tokens of virginity have not been found for the damsel --

²¹ then they have brought out the damsel unto the opening of her father's house, and stoned her have the men of her city with stones, and she hath died, for she hath done folly in Israel, to go a-whoring [in] her father's house; and thou hast put away the evil thing out of thy midst.

²² `When a man is found lying with a woman, married to a husband, then they have died even both of them, the man who is lying with the woman, also the woman; and thou hast put away the evil thing out of Israel.

²³ `When there is a damsel, a virgin, betrothed to a man, and a man hath found her in a city, and lain with her;

²⁴ then ye have brought them both out unto the gate of that city, and stoned them with stones, and they have died: -- the damsel, because that she hath not cried, [being] in a city; and the man, because that he hath humbled his neighbour's wife; and thou hast put away the evil thing out of thy midst.

²⁵ `And if in a field the man find the damsel who is betrothed, and the man hath laid hold on her, and lain with her, then hath the man who hath lain with her died alone;

²⁶ and to the damsel thou dost not do anything, the damsel hath no deadly sin; for as a man riseth against his neighbour and hath murdered him -- the life, so [is] this thing;

²⁷ for in a field he found her, she hath cried -- the damsel who is betrothed -- and she hath no saviour.

²⁸ `When a man findeth a damsel, a virgin who is not betrothed, and hath caught her, and lain with her, and they have been found,

²⁹ then hath the man who is lying with her given to the father of the damsel fifty silverlings, and to him she is for a wife; because that he hath humbled her, he is not able to send her away all his days.

³⁰ `A man doth not take his father's wife, nor uncover his father's skirt.
