偷竊的賠償條例

22 “如果人偷了牛或是羊,無論是宰了或是賣了,他必須賠償,以五牛還一牛,以四羊還一羊。(本節在《馬索拉文本》為21:37)

“竊賊挖窟窿入屋的時候,如果被人發現,把他打了,以致打死,打死人的就沒有流人血的罪。(本節在《馬索拉文本》為22:1) 如果太陽出來了,他就有流人血的罪。竊賊必須賠償,如果他一無所有,就要賣身,還他所偷之物。 所偷之物,無論是牛、是驢,或是羊,如果發現在他手中仍然活著,他必須雙倍償還。 如果有人在田間或葡萄園裡放牲畜吃草,任由牲畜到別人的田裡去吃草,就必須拿自己田間最好的,或自己葡萄園中最好的賠償。

“如果火燒起來,燒著了荊棘,以致把別人堆積的禾捆、豎立的莊稼,或是田園都燒盡了,那點火的必須賠償。

“如果人把銀子或家中物件交給鄰舍看守,這些東西從那人的家被偷去;如果把竊賊抓到了,竊賊就要雙倍償還。 如果找不到竊賊,那家主必要到審判官(“審判官”原文作“ 神”)那裡,查明他有沒有下手拿去鄰舍的財物。 任何爭訟的案件,無論是為了牛、驢、羊、衣服,或是甚麼遺失了的東西,如果一方說:‘這是我的’,這樣,雙方的案件就要帶到審判官(“審判官”原文作“ 神”)面前,審判官定誰有罪,誰就要雙倍償還給他的鄰舍。

10 “如果人把驢、牛、羊,或是任何牲畜交給鄰舍看守,牲畜死亡、受傷,或是被趕去,又沒有人看見, 11 兩人必須在耶和華面前起誓,表明他沒有下手拿去鄰舍的財物;如果物主接受那誓言,看守的人就不必賠償。 12 如果牲畜真的從看守的人那裡被偷去,他就要賠償給物主。 13 如果真的被野獸撕碎了,看守的人就要把被撕碎的帶來作證據,這樣,他就不必賠償。

14 “如果人向鄰舍借甚麼,所借的無論是受了傷,或是死了,物主不在場,借的人就必須償還。 15 如果物主在場,他就不必償還;若是雇來的,也不必償還,因為他為雇價來的。

保障人權的條例

16 “如果人引誘還沒有許配人的處女,與她同寢,他必須交出聘禮,娶她為妻。 17 如果處女的父親堅決不肯把女兒嫁給他,他就要按照處女的聘禮,交出聘銀來。

18 “不可讓行巫術的女人活著。

19 “凡與牲畜同寢的,那人必須處死。

20 “除了獨一的耶和華以外,還獻祭給別神的,那人必須滅絕。 21 不可欺負寄居的,也不可壓迫他,因為你們在埃及地也作過寄居的。 22 不可苦待任何孤兒寡婦。 23 如果你們真的苦待他們,他們一向我呼求,我必定聽他們的呼求, 24 並且我要發怒,用刀殺死你們,使你們的妻子成為寡婦,你們的兒女成為孤兒。

25 “如果你借錢給我的人民,就是與你們在一起的窮人,你對待他們不可像放債的人一樣,不可在他們身上取利。 26 如果你拿了鄰居的衣服作抵押,必須在日落之前歸還給他。 27 因為這是他唯一的鋪蓋,是他蔽體的衣服;如果沒有了它,他拿甚麼睡覺呢?如果他向我呼求,我必應允,因為我是滿有恩惠的。

28 “不可咒罵 神,也不可咒詛你人民的領袖。 29 要把你豐收的五穀和初榨的新酒獻上,不可遲延;要把你頭生的兒子獻給我。 30 對於牛羊頭生的,你也要這樣作;七天之內,可以和母的在一起,第八天就要把牠獻給我。 31 你們要歸我作聖潔的人;因此田間被野獸撕碎的肉,你們不可以吃,要把它丟給狗吃。”

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.
