1 si quis furatus fuerit bovem aut ovem
et occiderit vel vendiderit
quinque boves pro uno bove restituet
et quattuor oves pro una ove
2 si effringens fur domum sive suffodiens fuerit inventus
et accepto vulnere mortuus fuerit
percussor non erit reus sanguinis
3 quod si orto sole hoc fecerit
homicidium perpetravit et ipse morietur
si non habuerit quod pro furto reddat venundabitur
4 si inventum fuerit apud eum quod furatus est vivens
sive bos sive asinus sive ovis
duplum restituet
5 si laeserit quispiam agrum vel vineam
et dimiserit iumentum suum ut depascatur aliena
quicquid optimum habuerit in agro suo vel in vinea
pro damni aestimatione restituet
6 si egressus ignis invenerit spinas
et conprehenderit acervos frugum sive stantes segetes in agris
reddet damnum qui ignem succenderit
7 si quis commendaverit amico pecuniam aut vas in custodiam
et ab eo qui susceperat furto ablata fuerint
si invenitur fur duplum reddet
8 si latet dominus domus adplicabitur ad deos
et iurabit quod non extenderit manum in rem proximi
sui
9 ad perpetrandam fraudem
tam in bove quam in asino et ove ac vestimento
et quicquid damnum inferre potest
ad deos utriusque causa perveniet
et si illi iudicaverint duplum restituet proximo suo
10 si quis commendaverit proximo suo asinum bovem ovem et omne iumentum ad
custodiam
et mortuum fuerit aut debilitatum vel captum ab hostibus
nullusque hoc viderit
11 iusiurandum erit in medio
quod non extenderit manum ad rem proximi sui
suscipietque dominus iuramentum
et ille reddere non cogetur
12 quod si furto ablatum fuerit restituet damnum domino
13 si comestum a bestia
deferet ad eum quod occisum est
et non restituet
14 qui a proximo suo quicquam horum mutuo postularit
et debilitatum aut mortuum fuerit domino non praesente
reddere conpelletur
15 quod si inpraesentiarum fuit dominus non
restituet
maxime si conductum venerat pro mercede operis sui
16 si seduxerit quis virginem necdum desponsatam
et dormierit cum ea
dotabit eam et habebit uxorem
17 si pater virginis dare noluerit reddet pecuniam iuxta modum dotis
quam virgines accipere consuerunt
18 maleficos non patieris vivere
19 qui coierit cum iumento morte moriatur
20 qui immolat diis occidetur praeter Domino
soli
21 advenam non contristabis neque adfliges eum
advenae enim et ipsi fuistis in terra Aegypti
22 viduae et pupillo non nocebitis
23 si laeseritis eos vociferabuntur ad me
et ego audiam clamorem eorum
24 et indignabitur furor meus percutiamque vos gladio
et erunt uxores vestrae viduae et filii vestri pupilli
25 si pecuniam mutuam dederis populo meo pauperi qui habitat tecum
non urgues eum quasi exactor nec usuris opprimes
26 si pignus a proximo tuo acceperis vestimentum
ante solis occasum redde ei
27 ipsum enim est solum quo operitur indumentum
carnis eius
nec habet aliud in quo dormiat
si clamaverit ad me exaudiam eum quia misericors sum
28 diis non detrahes et principi populi tui non maledices
29 decimas tuas et primitias non tardabis offerre
primogenitum filiorum tuorum dabis mihi
30 de bubus quoque et ovibus similiter facies
septem diebus sit cum matre sua
die octavo reddes illum mihi
31 viri sancti eritis mihi
carnem quae a bestiis fuerit praegustata non comedetis
sed proicietis canibus
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 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.
