Proteção da propriedade

22 [a] “Se alguém roubar um boi[b] ou uma ovelha e matar o animal ou vendê-lo, o ladrão pagará cinco bois para cada boi roubado e quatro ovelhas para cada ovelha roubada.

[c] “Se um ladrão for pego em flagrante arrombando uma casa e for ferido e morto no confronto, a pessoa que matou o ladrão não será culpada de homicídio. Mas, se isso acontecer durante o dia, a pessoa que matou o ladrão será culpada de homicídio.

“O ladrão que for pego restituirá o valor total daquilo que roubou. Se não puder restituir o valor, será vendido como escravo para pagar pelos bens roubados. Se alguém roubar um boi, um jumento ou uma ovelha e o animal for encontrado vivo, em poder do ladrão, ele pagará o dobro do valor do animal roubado.

“Se um animal estiver pastando no campo ou na videira e o dono o soltar para pastar no campo de outra pessoa, o dono do animal entregará como indenização o melhor de seus cereais ou de suas uvas.

“Se alguém estiver queimando espinheiros e o fogo se espalhar para o campo de outra pessoa e destruir o cereal já colhido, ou a plantação pronta para a colheita, ou a lavoura inteira, aquele que começou o fogo pagará por todo o prejuízo.

“Se alguém entregar valores ou bens a um vizinho para que este os guarde e eles forem roubados da casa do vizinho, o ladrão, se for pego, restituirá o dobro do valor dos itens roubados. Mas, se o ladrão não for pego, o dono da casa comparecerá diante dos juízes[d] para que se determine se foi ele quem roubou os bens.

“Em qualquer caso de disputa entre vizinhos em que ambos afirmem ser donos de determinado boi, jumento, ovelha, peça de roupa ou objeto perdido, as duas partes comparecerão diante dos juízes, e a pessoa que eles considerarem[e] culpada pagará o dobro à outra.

10 “Se alguém deixar um jumento, um boi, uma ovelha ou outro animal sob os cuidados de outra pessoa e o animal morrer, for ferido ou levado embora, e ninguém vir o que aconteceu, 11 a pessoa que estava cuidando do animal fará diante do Senhor um juramento de que não roubou o animal; o dono aceitará o juramento e não será exigido pagamento algum. 12 Mas, se o animal for roubado do vizinho, ele indenizará o dono. 13 Se tiver sido despedaçado por um animal selvagem, o que restou da carcaça será apresentado como prova, e não será exigido pagamento algum.

14 “Se alguém pedir um animal emprestado ao vizinho e o animal for ferido ou morrer na ausência do dono, a pessoa que pediu o animal emprestado indenizará o dono totalmente. 15 Mas, se o dono estiver presente, não será exigido pagamento algum. Também não será exigida indenização alguma se o animal tiver sido alugado, pois o valor do aluguel cobrirá a perda.”

Responsabilidades gerais

16 “Se um homem seduzir uma moça virgem que não esteja comprometida e tiver relações sexuais com ela, pagará à família dela o preço costumeiro do dote e se casará com ela. 17 Mas, se o pai da moça não permitir o casamento, o homem lhe pagará o equivalente ao dote de uma virgem.

18 “Não deixe que a feiticeira viva.

19 “Quem tiver relações sexuais com um animal certamente será executado.

20 “Quem sacrificar a qualquer outro deus além do Senhor será destruído.

21 “Não maltrate nem oprima os estrangeiros. Lembre-se de que vocês também foram estrangeiros na terra do Egito.

22 “Não explore a viúva nem o órfão. 23 Se você os explorar e eles clamarem a mim, certamente ouvirei seu clamor. 24 Minha ira se acenderá contra você e o matarei pela espada. Então sua esposa ficará viúva e seus filhos ficarão órfãos.

25 “Se você emprestar dinheiro a alguém do meu povo que esteja necessitado, não cobre juros visando lucro, como fazem os credores. 26 Se tomar a capa do seu próximo como garantia para um empréstimo, devolva-a antes do pôr do sol. 27 Talvez a capa seja a única coberta que ele tem para se aquecer. Como ele poderá dormir sem ela? Se não a devolver e se o seu próximo pedir socorro a mim, eu o ouvirei, pois sou misericordioso.

28 “Não blasfeme contra Deus nem amaldiçoe as autoridades do seu povo.

29 “Quando entregar as ofertas das colheitas, do vinho e do azeite, não retenha coisa alguma.

“Consagre a mim seu primeiro filho.

30 “Também entregue a mim os machos das primeiras crias das vacas, das ovelhas e das cabras. Deixe o animal com a mãe por sete dias e, no oitavo, entregue-o a mim.

31 “Vocês serão meu povo santo. Por isso, não comam a carne de animais despedaçados e mortos por feras no campo; joguem a carne para os cães.”

22 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.

If a thief be found breaking up, and be smitten that he die, there shall no blood be shed for him.

If the sun be risen upon him, there shall be blood shed for him; for he should make full restitution; if he have nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.

If the theft be certainly found in his hand alive, whether it be ox, or ass, or sheep; he shall restore double.

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.

If fire break out, and catch in thorns, so that the stacks of corn, or the standing corn, or the field, be consumed therewith; he that kindled the fire shall surely make restitution.

If a man shall deliver unto his neighbour money or stuff to keep, and it be stolen out of the man's house; if the thief be found, let him pay double.

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

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 whom the judges shall condemn, he shall pay double unto his neighbour.

10 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:

11 Then shall an oath of the Lord be between them both, that he hath not put his hand unto his neighbour'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 unto 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 borrow ought of his neighbour, and it be hurt, or die, the owner thereof being not with it, he shall surely make it good.

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

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

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

18 Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.

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

20 He that sacrificeth unto any god, save unto 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.

22 Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child.

23 If thou afflict them in any wise, and they cry at all unto me, I will surely hear their cry;

24 And my wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.

25 If thou lend money to any of my people that is poor by thee, thou shalt not be to him as an usurer, neither shalt thou lay upon him usury.

26 If thou at all take thy neighbour's raiment to pledge, thou shalt deliver it unto him by that the sun goeth down:

27 For that is his covering only, it is his raiment 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.

28 Thou shalt not revile the gods, nor curse the ruler of thy people.

29 Thou shalt not delay to offer the first of thy ripe fruits, and of thy liquors: the firstborn of thy sons shalt thou give unto me.

30 Likewise shalt thou do with thine oxen, and with thy sheep: seven days it shall be with his dam; on the eighth day thou shalt give it me.

31 And ye shall be holy men unto me: neither shall ye eat any flesh that is torn of beasts in the field; ye shall cast it to the dogs.

22 “If a man steals an ox or a sheep, and kills it or sells it, he shall pay five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep. If the thief is found breaking in, and is struck so that he dies, there shall be no guilt of bloodshed for him. If the sun has risen on him, he is guilty of bloodshed. He shall make restitution. If he has nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft. If the stolen property is found in his hand alive, whether it is ox, donkey, or sheep, he shall pay double.

“If a man causes a field or vineyard to be eaten by letting his animal loose, and it grazes in another man’s field, he shall make restitution from the best of his own field, and from the best of his own vineyard.

“If fire breaks out, and catches in thorns so that the shocks of grain, or the standing grain, or the field are consumed; he who kindled the fire shall surely make restitution.

“If a man delivers to his neighbor money or stuff to keep, and it is stolen out of the man’s house, if the thief is found, he shall pay double. If the thief isn’t found, then the master of the house shall come near to God, to find out whether or not he has put his hand on his neighbor’s goods. For every matter of trespass, whether it is for ox, for donkey, for sheep, for clothing, or for any kind of lost thing, about which one says, ‘This is mine,’ the cause of both parties shall come before God. He whom God condemns shall pay double to his neighbor.

10 “If a man delivers to his neighbor a donkey, an ox, a sheep, or any animal to keep, and it dies or is injured, or driven away, no man seeing it; 11 the oath of Yahweh shall be between them both, he has not put his hand on his neighbor’s goods; and its owner shall accept it, and he shall not make restitution. 12 But if it is stolen from him, the one who stole shall make restitution to its owner. 13 If it is torn in pieces, let him bring it for evidence. He shall not make good that which was torn.

14 “If a man borrows anything of his neighbor’s, and it is injured, or dies, its owner not being with it, he shall surely make restitution. 15 If its owner is with it, he shall not make it good. If it is a leased thing, it came for its lease.

16 “If a man entices a virgin who isn’t pledged to be married, and lies with her, he shall surely pay a dowry for 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 allow a sorceress to live.

19 “Whoever has sex with an animal shall surely be put to death.

20 “He who sacrifices to any god, except to Yahweh only, shall be utterly destroyed.

21 “You shall not wrong an alien or oppress him, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt.

22 “You shall not take advantage of any widow or fatherless child. 23 If you take advantage of them at all, and they cry at all to me, I will surely hear their cry; 24 and my wrath will 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 with you who is poor, you shall not be to him as a creditor. You shall not charge him interest. 26 If you take your neighbor’s garment as collateral, you shall restore it to him before the sun goes down, 27 for that is his only covering, it is his garment for his skin. What would he sleep in? It will happen, when he cries to me, that I will hear, for I am gracious.

28 “You shall not blaspheme God, nor curse a ruler of your people.

29 “You shall not delay to offer from your harvest and from the outflow of your presses.

“You shall give the firstborn of your sons to me. 30 You shall do likewise with your cattle and with your sheep. It shall be with its mother seven days, then on the eighth day you shall give it to me.

31 “You shall be holy men to me, therefore you shall not eat any meat that is torn by animals in the field. You shall cast it to the dogs.
