1 Se alguém furtar boi ou ovelha e o abater ou vender, por um boi pagará cinco bois, e quatro ovelhas por uma ovelha. 2 Se um ladrão for achado arrombando uma casa e, sendo ferido, morrer, quem o feriu não será culpado do sangue. 3 Se, porém, já havia sol quando tal se deu, quem o feriu será culpado do sangue; neste caso, o ladrão fará restituição total. Se não tiver com que pagar, será vendido por seu furto. 4 Se aquilo que roubou for achado vivo em seu poder, seja boi, jumento ou ovelha, pagará o dobro.

5 Se alguém fizer pastar o seu animal num campo ou numa vinha e o largar para comer em campo de outrem, pagará com o melhor do seu próprio campo e o melhor da sua própria vinha. 6 Se irromper fogo, e pegar nos espinheiros, e destruir as medas de cereais, ou a messe, ou o campo, aquele que acendeu o fogo pagará totalmente o queimado.

7 Se alguém der ao seu próximo dinheiro ou objetos a guardar, e isso for furtado àquele que o recebeu, se for achado o ladrão, este pagará o dobro. 8 Se o ladrão não for achado, então, o dono da casa será levado perante os juízes, a ver se não meteu a mão nos bens do próximo. 9 Em todo negócio frauduloso, seja a respeito de boi, ou de jumento, ou de ovelhas, ou de roupas, ou de qualquer coisa perdida, de que uma das partes diz: Esta é a coisa, a causa de ambas as partes se levará perante os juízes; aquele a quem os juízes condenarem pagará o dobro ao seu próximo. 10 Se alguém der ao seu próximo a guardar jumento, ou boi, ou ovelha, ou outro animal qualquer, e este morrer, ou ficar aleijado, ou for afugentado, sem que ninguém o veja, 11 então, haverá juramento do Senhor entre ambos, de que não meteu a mão nos bens do seu próximo; o dono aceitará o juramento, e o outro não fará restituição. 12 Porém, se, de fato, lhe for furtado, pagá-lo-á ao seu dono. 13 Se for dilacerado, trá-lo-á em testemunho disso e não pagará o dilacerado. 14 Se alguém pedir emprestado a seu próximo um animal, e este ficar aleijado ou morrer, não estando presente o dono, pagá-lo-á. 15 Se o dono esteve presente, não o pagará; se foi alugado, o preço do aluguel será o pagamento.

16 Se alguém seduzir qualquer virgem que não estava desposada e se deitar com ela, pagará seu dote e a tomará por mulher. 17 Se o pai dela definitivamente recusar dar-lha, pagará ele em dinheiro conforme o dote das virgens. 18 A feiticeira não deixarás viver. 19 Quem tiver coito com animal será morto. 20 Quem sacrificar aos deuses e não somente ao Senhor será destruído. 21 Não afligirás o forasteiro, nem o oprimirás; pois forasteiros fostes na terra do Egito. 22 A nenhuma viúva nem órfão afligireis. 23 Se de algum modo os afligirdes, e eles clamarem a mim, eu lhes ouvirei o clamor; 24 a minha ira se acenderá, e vos matarei à espada; vossas mulheres ficarão viúvas, e vossos filhos, órfãos. 25 Se emprestares dinheiro ao meu povo, ao pobre que está contigo, não te haverás com ele como credor que impõe juros. 26 Se do teu próximo tomares em penhor a sua veste, lha restituirás antes do pôr do sol; 27 porque é com ela que se cobre, é a veste do seu corpo; em que se deitaria? Será, pois, que, quando clamar a mim, eu o ouvirei, porque sou misericordioso. 28 Contra Deus não blasfemarás, nem amaldiçoarás o príncipe do teu povo. 29 Não tardarás em trazer ofertas do melhor das tuas ceifas e das tuas vinhas; o primogênito de teus filhos me darás. 30 Da mesma sorte, farás com os teus bois e com as tuas ovelhas; sete dias ficará a cria com a mãe, e, ao oitavo dia, ma darás. 31 Ser-me-eis homens consagrados; portanto, não comereis carne dilacerada no campo; deitá-la-eis aos cães.

1 If a man shall steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it; he shall pay five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep. 2 If the thief be found breaking in, and be smitten so that he dieth, there shall be no bloodguiltiness for him. 3 If the sun be risen upon him, there shall be bloodguiltiness for him; he shall make restitution: if he have nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft. 4 If the theft be found in his hand alive, whether it be ox, or ass, or sheep, he shall pay double.

5 If a man shall cause a field or vineyard to be eaten, and shall let his beast loose, and it 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 shocks of grain, or the standing grain, or the field are consumed; he that kindled the fire shall surely make restitution.

7 If a man shall deliver unto his neighbor money or stuff to keep, and it be stolen out of the man’s house; if the thief be found, he shall pay double. 8 If the thief be not found, then the master of the house shall come near unto God, to see whether he have not put his hand unto his neighbor’s goods. 9 For every matter of trespass, whether it be for ox, for ass, for sheep, for raiment, or for any manner of lost thing, whereof one saith, This is it, the cause of both parties shall come before God; he whom God shall condemn shall pay double unto his neighbor.

10 If a man deliver unto his neighbor 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 the oath of Jehovah shall be between them both, whether he hath not put his hand unto his neighbor’s goods; and the owner thereof shall accept it, and he shall not make restitution. 12 But if it be stolen from him, he shall make restitution unto the owner thereof. 13 If it be torn in pieces, let him bring it for witness: he shall not make good that which was torn.

14 And if a man borrow aught of his neighbor, and it be hurt, or die, the owner thereof not being with it, he shall surely make restitution. 15 If the owner thereof be with it, he shall not make it good: if it be a hired thing, it came for its hire.

16 And if a man entice a virgin that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely pay a dowry for 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 sorceress to live.

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

20 He that sacrificeth unto any god, save unto Jehovah only, shall be utterly destroyed. 21 And a sojourner shalt thou not wrong, neither shalt thou oppress him: for ye were sojourners in the land of Egypt. 22 Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child. 23 If thou afflict them at all, 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 with thee that is poor, thou shalt not be to him as a creditor; neither shall ye lay upon him interest. 26 If thou at all take thy neighbor’s garment to pledge, thou shalt restore it unto him before the sun goeth down: 27 for that is his only covering, it is his garment 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 God, nor curse a ruler of thy people. 29 Thou shalt not delay to offer of thy harvest, and of the outflow of thy presses. The first-born 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 its dam; on the eighth day thou shalt give it me. 31 And ye shall be holy men unto me: therefore ye shall not eat any flesh that is torn of beasts in the field; ye shall cast it to the dogs.

1 "Whoever steals an ox or a sheep and slaughters it or sells it must pay back five head of cattle for the ox and four sheep for the sheep.

2 "If a thief is caught breaking in at night and is struck a fatal blow, the defender is not guilty of bloodshed;

3 but if it happens after sunrise, the defender is guilty of bloodshed. "Anyone who steals must certainly make restitution, but if they have nothing, they must be sold to pay for their theft.

4 If the stolen animal is found alive in their possession —whether ox or donkey or sheep —they must pay back double.

5 "If anyone grazes their livestock in a field or vineyard and lets them stray and they graze in someone else's field, the offender must make restitution from the best of their own field or vineyard.

6 "If a fire breaks out and spreads into thornbushes so that it burns shocks of grain or standing grain or the whole field, the one who started the fire must make restitution.

7 "If anyone gives a neighbor silver or goods for safekeeping and they are stolen from the neighbor's house, the thief, if caught, must pay back double.

8 But if the thief is not found, the owner of the house must appear before the judges, and they must "determine whether the owner of the house has laid hands on the other person's property.

9 In all cases of illegal possession of an ox, a donkey, a sheep, a garment, or any other lost property about which somebody says, 'This is mine,' both parties are to bring their cases before the judges. "The one whom the judges declare "guilty must pay back double to the other.

10 "If anyone gives a donkey, an ox, a sheep or any other animal to their neighbor for safekeeping and it dies or is injured or is taken away while no one is looking,

11 the issue between them will be settled by the taking of an oath before the LORD that the neighbor did not lay hands on the other person's property. The owner is to accept this, and no restitution is required.

12 But if the animal was stolen from the neighbor, restitution must be made to the owner.

13 If it was torn to pieces by a wild animal, the neighbor shall bring in the remains as evidence and shall not be required to pay for the torn animal.

14 "If anyone borrows an animal from their neighbor and it is injured or dies while the owner is not present, they must make restitution.

15 But if the owner is with the animal, the borrower will not have to pay. If the animal was hired, the money paid for the hire covers the loss.

16 "If a man seduces a virgin who is not pledged to be married and sleeps with her, he must pay the bride-price, and she shall be his wife.

17 If her father absolutely refuses to give her to him, he must still pay the bride-price for virgins.

19 "Anyone who has sexual relations with an animal is to be put to death.

20 "Whoever sacrifices to any god other than the LORD must be destroyed. [^5]

22 "Do not take advantage of the widow or the fatherless.

23 If you do and they cry out to me, I will certainly hear their cry.

24 My anger will be aroused, and I will kill you with the sword; your wives will become widows and your children fatherless.

25 "If you lend money to one of my people among you who is needy, do not treat it like a business deal; charge no interest.

26 If you take your neighbor's cloak as a pledge, return it by sunset,

27 because that cloak is the only covering your neighbor has. What else can they sleep in? When they cry out to me, I will hear, for I am compassionate.

28 "Do not blaspheme God "or curse the ruler of your people.

29 "Do not hold back offerings from your granaries or your vats. ""You must give me the firstborn of your sons.

30 Do the same with your cattle and your sheep. Let them stay with their mothers for seven days, but give them to me on the eighth day.

31 "You are to be my holy people. So do not eat the meat of an animal torn by wild beasts; throw it to the dogs.
