1. If a man shall steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it; he shall restore five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep.
  
2. If a thief be found breaking in, and be struck that he dies, there shall no blood be shed for him.
  
3. If the sun be risen upon him, there shall be blood shed for him; for he should make full restitution; if he has nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.
  
4. If the theft be certainly found in his hand alive, whether it be ox, or donkey, or sheep; he shall restore double.
  
5. If a man shall cause a field or vineyard to be eaten, and shall put in his beast, and shall 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.
  
6. If fire breaks out, and catches in thorns, so that the stacks of grain, or the standing grain, or the field, be consumed therewith; he that kindled the fire shall surely make restitution.
  
7. If a man shall deliver to his neighbor money or stuff to keep, and it be stolen out of the man's house; if the thief be found, let him pay double.
  
8. If the thief be not found, then the master of the house shall be brought to the judges, to see whether he has put his hand to his neighbor's goods.
  
9. For all manner of trespass, whether it be for ox, for donkey, for sheep, for clothing, or for any manner of lost thing, which another claims to be his, the cause of both parties shall come before the judges; and whom the judges shall condemn, he shall pay double to his neighbor.
  
10. If a man delivers to his neighbor a donkey, or an ox, or a sheep, or any beast, to keep; and it dies, or is hurt, or driven away, no man seeing it:
  
11. Then shall an oath of the LORD be between them both, that he has not put his hand to his neighbor's goods; and the owner of it shall accept thereof, and he shall not make it good.
  
12. And if it be stolen from him, he shall make restitution to the owner thereof.
  
13. If it 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 borrows anything from his neighbor, and it be hurt, or dies, the owner thereof being not with it, he shall surely make it good.
  
15. But if the owner thereof is with it, he shall not make it good: if it is a hired thing, it came for its hire.
  
16. And if a man entices a maid that is not betrothed, and lies with her, he shall surely endow her to be his wife.
  
17. If her father utterly refuses to give her to him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.
  
18. You shall not permit a witch to live.
  
19. Whoever lies with a beast shall surely be put to death.
  
20. He that sacrifices to any god, except unto the LORD only, he shall be completely destroyed.
  
21. You shall neither trouble a stranger, nor oppress him: for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.
  
22. You shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child.
  
23. If you afflict them in any way, and they cry at all to me, I will surely hear their cry;
  
24. And my anger shall grow hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.
  
25. If you lend money to any of my people by you that is poor, you shall not be to him as an extortioner, neither shall you lay upon him interest.
  
26. If you at all take your neighbor's clothing as a pledge, you shall deliver it to him before the sun goes down:
  
27. For that is his only covering, it is his clothing for his skin: what shall he sleep in? and it shall come to pass, when he cries out to me, that I will hear; for I am gracious.
  
28. You shall not revile the gods, nor curse the ruler of your people.
  
29. You shall not delay to offer the first of your ripe fruits, and of your juices: the firstborn of your sons shall you give to me.
  
30. Likewise shall you do with your oxen, and with your sheep: seven days it shall be with its mother; on the eighth day you shall give it to me.
  
31. And you shall be holy men unto me: neither shall you eat any flesh that is torn by beasts in the field; you shall throw it to the dogs.
