Exodus Chapter 22

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.

Exodus Chapter 23

1 Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand with the
wicked to be an unrighteous witness.

2 Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak
in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment:

3 Neither shalt thou countenance a poor man in his cause.

4 If thou meet thine enemy's ox or his ass going astray, thou shalt
surely bring it back to him again.

5 If thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lying under his burden,
and wouldest forbear to help him, thou shalt surely help with him.

6 Thou shalt not wrest the judgment of thy poor in his cause.

7 Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay
thou not: for I will not justify the wicked.

8 And thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the wise, and
perverteth the words of the righteous.

9 Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger: for ye know the heart of a
stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.

10 And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and shalt gather in the fruits
thereof:

11 But the seventh year thou shalt let it rest and lie still; that the
poor of thy people may eat: and what they leave the beasts of the field
shall eat. In like manner thou shalt deal with thy vineyard, and with
thy oliveyard.

12 Six days thou shalt do thy work, and on the seventh day thou shalt
rest: that thine ox and thine ass may rest, and the son of thy handmaid,
and the stranger, may be refreshed.

13 And in all things that I have said unto you be circumspect: and make
no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy
mouth.

14 Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year.

15 Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread: (thou shalt eat
unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded thee, in the time appointed
of the month Abib; for in it thou camest out from Egypt: and none shall
appear before me empty:)

16 And the feast of harvest, the firstfruits of thy labours, which thou
hast sown in the field: and the feast of ingathering, which is in the
end of the year, when thou hast gathered in thy labours out of the field.

17 Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before the Lord GOD.

18 Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread;
neither shall the fat of my sacrifice remain until the morning.

19 The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the
house of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.

20 Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to
bring thee into the place which I have prepared.

21 Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not
pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.

22 But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak;
then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine
adversaries.

23 For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the
Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the
Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off.

24 Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after
their works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and quite break down
their images.

25 And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread,
and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.

26 There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the
number of thy days I will fulfil.

27 I will send my fear before thee, and will destroy all the people to
whom thou shalt come, and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs
unto thee.

28 And I will send hornets before thee, which shall drive out the
Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee.

29 I will not drive them out from before thee in one year; lest the land
become desolate, and the beast of the field multiply against thee.

30 By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until
thou be increased, and inherit the land.

31 And I will set thy bounds from the Red sea even unto the sea of the
Philistines, and from the desert unto the river: for I will deliver the
inhabitants of the land into your hand; and thou shalt drive them out
before thee.

32 Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.

33 They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against me:
for if thou serve their gods, it will surely be a snare unto thee.

Exodus Chapter 24

1 And he said unto Moses, Come up unto the LORD, thou, and Aaron, Nadab,
and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship ye afar off.

2 And Moses alone shall come near the LORD: but they shall not come
nigh; neither shall the people go up with him.

3 And Moses came and told the people all the words of the LORD, and all
the judgments: and all the people answered with one voice, and said, All
the words which the LORD hath said will we do.

4 And Moses wrote all the words of the LORD, and rose up early in the
morning, and builded an altar under the hill, and twelve pillars,
according to the twelve tribes of Israel.

5 And he sent young men of the children of Israel, which offered burnt
offerings, and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen unto the LORD.

6 And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in basons; and half of
the blood he sprinkled on the altar.

7 And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the
people: and they said, All that the LORD hath said will we do, and be
obedient.

8 And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said,
Behold the blood of the covenant, which the LORD hath made with you
concerning all these words.

9 Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the
elders of Israel:

10 And they saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet as it
were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven
in his clearness.

11 And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand:
also they saw God, and did eat and drink.

12 And the LORD said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and be
there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and commandments
which I have written; that thou mayest teach them.

13 And Moses rose up, and his minister Joshua: and Moses went up into
the mount of God.

14 And he said unto the elders, Tarry ye here for us, until we come
again unto you: and, behold, Aaron and Hur are with you: if any man have
any matters to do, let him come unto them.

15 And Moses went up into the mount, and a cloud covered the mount.

16 And the glory of the LORD abode upon mount Sinai, and the cloud
covered it six days: and the seventh day he called unto Moses out of the
midst of the cloud.

17 And the sight of the glory of the LORD was like devouring fire on the
top of the mount in the eyes of the children of Israel.

18 And Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and gat him up into the
mount: and Moses was in the mount forty days and forty nights.
