Exodus 22:9-31
English Standard Version
10"If a man gives to his neighbor a donkey or an ox or a sheep or any beast to keep safe, and it dies or is injured or is driven away, without anyone seeing it,
11an oath by the Lord shall be between them both to see whether or not he has put his hand to his neighbor 's property. The owner shall accept the oath, and he shall not make restitution.
12But if it is stolen from him, he shall make restitution to its owner.
13If it is torn by beasts, let him bring it as evidence. He shall not make restitution for what has been torn.
14"If a man borrows anything of his neighbor, and it is injured or dies, the owner not being with it, he shall make full restitution.
15If the owner was with it, he shall not make restitution; if it was hired, it came for its hiring fee.
16"If a man seduces a virgin who is not betrothed and lies with her, he shall give the bride-price for her and make her his wife.
17If her father utterly refuses to give her to him, he shall pay money equal to the bride-price for virgins.
21"You shall not wrong a sojourner or oppress him, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt.
22You shall not mistreat any widow or fatherless child.
23If you do mistreat them, and they cry out to me, I will surely hear their cry,
24and my wrath will burn, and I will kill you with the sword, and your wives shall become widows and your children fatherless.
25"If you lend money to any of my people with you who is poor, you shall not be like a moneylender to him, and you shall not exact interest from him.
26If ever you take your neighbor 's cloak in pledge, you shall return it to him before the sun goes down,
27for that is his only covering, and it is his cloak for his body; in what else shall he sleep? And if he cries to me, I will hear, for I am compassionate.
