Batas tungkol sa Ninakaw
22 “Kapag ang isang tao'y nagnakaw ng baka o tupa at ito'y pinatay o ipinagbili, papalitan niya ito: lima ang ipapalit sa isang baka, at apat naman sa isang tupa. 2-4 Kailangan siyang magbayad. Kung walang ibabayad, siya ang ipagbibili at ang pinagbilhan ang ibabayad sa kanyang ninakaw. Kung ang ninakaw naman ay makita sa kanya at buháy pa, doble lamang ang ibabayad niya.
“Kapag ang magnanakaw ay pumasok nang gabi at siya ay napatay ng may-ari ng bahay, walang pananagutan ang nakapatay. Kung ang pagkapatay ay naganap pagkasikat ng araw, mananagot ang nakapatay.
5 “Kapag ang hayop na alaga ay nakawala at nakapanira sa bukid ng iba, papalitan ng may-ari ang anumang nasira ng kanyang hayop. Ang ibabayad niya ay ang pinakamainam na ani ng kanyang bukirin.
6 “Kapag may nagsiga, kumalat ang apoy at nakasunog ng mga inani o ng pananim ng iba, ito ay babayaran ng nagsiga.
7 “Kapag ang salapi o anumang ari-arian ng isang tao'y ipinagkatiwala sa kanyang kapwa at ang mga ito'y nawala sa bahay, pagbabayarin nang doble ang kumuha kapag ito'y mahuli. 8 Kung hindi naman mahuli ang nagnakaw, ang pinagkatiwalaan ay panunumpain sa harapan ng Diyos[a] para patunayang wala siyang kinalaman sa pagkawala ng inihabilin sa kanya.
9 “Anumang usapin tungkol sa pang-aangkin ng nawawalang asno, baka, tupa, damit o anumang bagay, ay dadalhin sa harapan ng Diyos.[b] Ang mapatunayang nang-aangkin lamang ay magbabayad nang doble sa tunay na may-ari.
10 “Kung mamatay, mapinsala o inagaw ang isang asno, baka, tupa o anumang hayop na paalaga ngunit walang nakakita sa pangyayari, 11 ang nag-aalaga ay manunumpa sa harapan ni Yahweh upang patunayan na wala siyang kinalaman sa pangyayari. Ito'y dapat paniwalaan ng may-ari at wala nang pananagutan ang tagapag-alaga. 12 Ngunit kung ninakaw ang hayop, magbabayad ang tagapag-alaga. 13 Kung ang hayop naman ay pinatay ng isang hayop na mabangis, ipapakita ng tagapag-alaga ang bahaging natira at wala siyang pananagutan.
14 “Kapag ang isang tao'y nanghiram ng isang hayop at ito'y namatay o napinsala nang hindi nakikita ng may-ari, babayaran ito ng nanghiram. 15 Ngunit kung naroon ang may-ari, hindi ito babayaran, lalo na kung inupahan; ang upa ang magiging kabayaran.
Tuntunin tungkol sa Pananampalataya at Kabutihang-asal
16 “Kapag(A) ang isang dalagang hindi pa nakatakdang ikasal ay inakit at sinipingan ng isang lalaki, siya ay pakakasalan ng lalaking iyon at bibigyan ng kaukulang dote. 17 Kung hindi pumayag ang ama na ipakasal ang babae, ibibigay na lang sa ama ang halagang katumbas ng dote.
18 “Ang(B) mga mangkukulam ay dapat patayin.
19 “Sinumang(C) makipagtalik sa hayop ay dapat patayin.
20 “Sinumang(D) maghandog sa diyus-diyosan ay dapat patayin sapagkat kay Yahweh lamang dapat maghandog.
21 “Huwag(E) ninyong aapihin ang mga dayuhan; alalahanin ninyong naging dayuhan din kayo sa Egipto. 22 Huwag din ninyong aapihin ang mga balo at ang mga ulila. 23 Kapag inapi ninyo sila at dumaing sa akin, tiyak na papakinggan ko sila. 24 Dahil dito, kapopootan ko kayo at lilipulin sa pamamagitan ng digmaan. Sa gayo'y mabibiyuda rin ang inyu-inyong asawa at mauulila ang inyong mga anak.
25 “Kapag(F) nangutang sa inyo ang mga kababayan ninyong mahihirap, huwag kayong hihingi ng tubo, tulad ng ginagawa ng mga nagpapatubo. 26 Kapag(G) may nagsanla sa inyo ng balabal, ibalik ninyo iyon sa kanya bago lumubog ang araw 27 sapagkat iyon lamang ang pambalot niya sa katawan; wala siyang kukumutin sa pagtulog. Kapag siya'y dumaing sa akin, papakinggan ko siya sapagkat ako'y mahabagin.
28 “Huwag(H) ninyong lalapastanganin ang Diyos ni mumurahin ang mga pinuno ng inyong bayan.
29 “Huwag ninyong kalilimutang maghandog ng inaning butil, alak na mula sa katas ng ubas at langis sa takdang panahon.
“Ihahandog ninyo sa akin ang inyong mga panganay na lalaki. 30 Ihahandog din ninyo sa akin ang panganay ng inyong mga baka at tupa. Huwag ihihiwalay sa ina ang panganay nitong lalaki hanggang sa ikapitong araw mula sa kapanganakan; sa ikawalong araw, ihahandog siya sa akin.
31 “Kayo'y(I) aking bayang pinili. Kaya huwag kayong kakain ng karne ng hayop na pinatay ng mabangis na hayop; ipakain ninyo iyon sa mga aso.

Laws about Theft
22 “When a man steals an ox or a sheep and butchers it or sells it, he must repay(A) five cattle for the ox or four sheep for the sheep. 2 If a thief is caught in the act of breaking in, and he is beaten to death, no one is guilty of bloodshed.(B) 3 But if this happens after sunrise, the householder is guilty of bloodshed. A thief must make full restitution. If he is unable, he is to be sold because of his theft.(C) 4 If what was stolen—whether ox, donkey, or sheep—is actually found alive in his possession, he must repay double.
Laws about Crop Protection
5 “When a man lets a field or vineyard be grazed in, and then allows his animals to go and graze in someone else’s field, he must repay[a] with the best of his own field or vineyard.
6 “When a fire gets out of control, spreads to thornbushes, and consumes stacks of cut grain, standing grain, or a field, the one who started the fire must make full restitution for what was burned.
Laws about Personal Property
7 “When a man gives his neighbor valuables[b] or goods to keep, but they are stolen from that person’s house, the thief, if caught, must repay double. 8 If the thief is not caught, the owner of the house must present himself to the judges[c] to determine[d] whether or not he has taken his neighbor’s property.(D) 9 In any case of wrongdoing involving an ox, a donkey, a sheep, a garment, or anything else lost, and someone claims, ‘That’s mine,’[e] the case between the two parties is to come before the judges.[f] The one the judges condemn[g] must repay double to his neighbor.
10 “When a man gives his neighbor a donkey, an ox, a sheep, or any other animal to care for, but it dies, is injured, or is stolen, while no one is watching, 11 there must be an oath before the Lord between the two of them to determine whether or not he has taken his neighbor’s property. Its owner must accept the oath, and the other man does not have to make restitution. 12 But if, in fact, the animal was stolen from his custody, he must make restitution to its owner.(E) 13 If it was actually torn apart by a wild animal, he is to bring it as evidence; he does not have to make restitution for the torn carcass.
14 “When a man borrows an animal from his neighbor, and it is injured or dies while its owner is not there with it, the man must make full restitution. 15 If its owner is there with it, the man does not have to make restitution. If it was rented, the loss is covered by[h] its rental price.
Laws about Seduction
16 “If a man seduces a virgin who is not engaged, and he sleeps with her, he must certainly pay the bridal price for her to be his wife. 17 If her father absolutely refuses to give her to him, he must pay an amount in silver equal to the bridal price for virgins.(F)
Capital Offenses
18 “Do not allow a sorceress(G) to live.
19 “Whoever has sexual intercourse with an animal(H) must be put to death.
20 “Whoever sacrifices to any gods, except the Lord alone, is to be set apart for destruction.(I)
Laws Protecting the Vulnerable
21 “You must not exploit a resident alien(J) or oppress him, since you were resident aliens in the land of Egypt.
22 “You must not mistreat any widow or fatherless child.(K) 23 If you do mistreat them, they will no doubt cry to me, and I will certainly hear their cry.(L) 24 My anger will burn, and I will kill you with the sword; then your wives will be widows and your children fatherless.(M)
25 “If you lend silver to my people, to the poor person among you, you must not be like a creditor to him; you must not charge him interest.(N)
26 “If you ever take your neighbor’s cloak as collateral, return it to him before sunset. 27 For it is his only covering; it is the clothing for his body.[i] What will he sleep in? And if he cries out to me, I will listen because I am gracious.(O)
Respect for God
28 “You must not blaspheme God[j] or curse a leader among your people.(P)
29 “You must not hold back offerings(Q) from your harvest or your vats. Give me the firstborn of your sons. 30 Do the same with your cattle and your flock. Let them stay with their mothers for seven days, but on the eighth day you are to give them to me.(R)
31 “Be my holy people. You must not eat the meat of a mauled animal(S) found in the field; throw it to the dogs.

Exodus 22
King James Version
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.
2 If a thief be found breaking up, and be smitten that he die, 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 have 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 ass, 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 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.
7 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.
8 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.
9 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.
