Exo 22:2 "If the thief is caught while breaking in and is struck so that he dies, there will be no bloodguiltiness on his account.

Exo 22:3 But if the sun has risen on him, there will be bloodguiltiness on his account. He shall surely make restitution; if he owns nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.

Exo 22:4 If what he stole is actually found alive in his possession, whether an ox or a donkey or a sheep, he shall pay double.

Exo 22:5 "If a man lets a field or vineyard be grazed bare and lets his animal loose so that it grazes in another man's field, he shall make restitution from the best of his own field and the best of his own vineyard.

Exo 22:6 "If a fire breaks out and spreads to thorn bushes, so that stacked grain or the standing grain or the field itself is consumed, he who started the fire shall surely make restitution.

Exo 22:7 "If a man gives his neighbor money or goods to keep for him and it is stolen from the man's house, if the thief is caught, he shall pay double.

Exo 22:8 If the thief is not caught, then the owner of the house shall appear before the judges, to determine whether he laid his hands on his neighbor's property.

Exo 22:9 For every breach of trust, whether it is for ox, for donkey, for sheep, for clothing, or for any lost thing about which one says, 'This is it,' the case of both parties shall come before the judges; he whom the judges condemn shall pay double to his neighbor.

Exo 22:10 "If a man gives his neighbor a donkey, an ox, a sheep, or any animal to keep for him, and it dies or is hurt or is driven away while no one is looking,

Exo 22:11 an oath before the Lord shall be made by the two of them that he has not laid hands on his neighbor's property; and its owner shall accept it, and he shall not make restitution.

Exo 22:12 But if it is actually stolen from him, he shall make restitution to its owner.

Exo 22:13 If it is all torn to pieces, let him bring it as evidence; he shall not make restitution for what has been torn to pieces.

Exo 22:14 "If a man borrows anything from his neighbor, and it is injured or dies while its owner is not with it, he shall make full restitution.

Exo 22:15 If its owner is with it, he shall not make restitution; if it is hired, it came for its hire.

Exo 22:16 "If a man seduces a virgin who is not engaged, and lies with her, he must pay a dowry for her to be his wife.

Exo 22:17 If her father absolutely refuses to give her to him, he shall pay money equal to the dowry for virgins.

Exo 22:20 "He who sacrifices to any god, other than to the Lord alone, shall be utterly destroyed.

Exo 22:21 "You shall not wrong a stranger or oppress him, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.

Exo 22:22 You shall not afflict any widow or orphan.

Exo 22:23 If you afflict him at all, and if he does cry out to Me, I will surely hear his cry;

Exo 22:24 and My anger will be kindled, and I will kill you with the sword, and your wives shall become widows and your children fatherless.

Exo 22:25 "If you lend money to My people, to the poor among you, you are not to act as a creditor to him; you shall not charge him interest.

Exo 22:26 If you ever take your neighbor's cloak as a pledge, you are to return it to him before the sun sets,

Exo 22:27 for that is his only covering; it is his cloak for his body. What else shall he sleep in? And it shall come about that when he cries out to Me, I will hear him, for I am gracious.

Exo 22:28 "You shall not curse God, nor curse a ruler of your people.

Exo 22:29 "You shall not delay the offering from your harvest and your vintage. The firstborn of your sons you shall give to Me.

Exo 22:30 You shall do the same with your oxen and with your sheep. It shall be with its mother seven days; on the eighth day you shall give it to Me.

Exo 22:31 "You shall be holy men to Me, therefore you shall not eat any flesh torn to pieces in the field; you shall throw it to the dogs.

Exo 23:1 "You shall not bear a false report; do not join your hand with a wicked man to be a malicious witness.

Exo 23:2 You shall not follow the masses in doing evil, nor shall you testify in a dispute so as to turn aside after a multitude in order to pervert justice;

Exo 23:3 nor shall you be partial to a poor man in his dispute.

Exo 23:4 "If you meet your enemy's ox or his donkey wandering away, you shall surely return it to him.

Exo 23:5 If you see the donkey of one who hates you lying helpless under its load, you shall refrain from leaving it to him, you shall surely release it with him.

Exo 23:6 "You shall not pervert the justice due to your needy brother in his dispute.

Exo 23:7 Keep far from a false charge, and do not kill the innocent or the righteous, for I will not acquit the guilty.

Exo 23:8 "You shall not take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the clear-sighted and subverts the cause of the just.

Exo 23:9 "You shall not oppress a stranger, since you yourselves know the feelings of a stranger, for you also were strangers in the land of Egypt.

Exo 23:10 "You shall sow your land for six years and gather in its yield,

Exo 23:11 but on the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie fallow, so that the needy of your people may eat; and whatever they leave the beast of the field may eat. You are to do the same with your vineyard and your olive grove.

Exo 23:12 "Six days you are to do your work, but on the seventh day you shall cease from labor so that your ox and your donkey may rest, and the son of your female slave, as well as your stranger, may refresh themselves.

Exo 23:13 Now concerning everything which I have said to you, be on your guard; and do not mention the name of other gods, nor let them be heard from your mouth.

Exo 23:14 "Three times a year you shall celebrate a feast to Me.

Exo 23:15 You shall observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread; for seven days you are to eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the appointed time in the month Abib, for in it you came out of Egypt. And none shall appear before Me empty-handed.

Exo 23:16 Also you shall observe the Feast of the Harvest of the first fruits of your labors from what you sow in the field; also the Feast of the Ingathering at the end of the year when you gather in the fruit of your labors from the field.

Exo 23:17 Three times a year all your males shall appear before the Lord God.

Exo 23:18 "You shall not offer the blood of My sacrifice with leavened bread; nor is the fat of My feast to remain overnight until morning.

Exo 23:19 "You shall bring the choice first fruits of your soil into the house of the Lord your God." You are not to boil a young goat in the milk of its mother.

Exo 23:20 "Behold, I am going to send an angel before you to guard you along the way and to bring you into the place which I have prepared.

Exo 23:21 Be on your guard before him and obey his voice; do not be rebellious toward him, for he will not pardon your transgression, since My name is in him.

Exo 23:22 But if you truly obey his voice and do all that I say, then I will be an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to your adversaries.

Exo 23:23 For My angel will go before you and bring you in to the land of the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Canaanites, the Hivites and the Jebusites; and I will completely destroy them.

Exo 23:24 You shall not worship their gods, nor serve them, nor do according to their deeds; but you shall utterly overthrow them and break their sacred pillars in pieces.

Exo 23:25 But you shall serve the Lord your God, and He will bless your bread and your water; and I will remove sickness from your midst.

Exo 23:26 There shall be no one miscarrying or barren in your land; I will fulfill the number of your days.

Exo 23:27 I will send My terror ahead of you, and throw into confusion all the people among whom you come, and I will make all your enemies turn their backs to you.

Exo 23:28 I will send hornets ahead of you so that they will drive out the Hivites, the Canaanites, and the Hittites before you.

Exo 23:29 I will not drive them out before you in a single year, that the land may not become desolate and the beasts of the field become too numerous for you.

Exo 23:30 I will drive them out before you little by little, until you become fruitful and take possession of the land.

Exo 23:31 I will fix your boundary from the Red Sea to the sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness to the River Euphrates; for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you will drive them out before you.

Exo 23:32 You shall make no covenant with them or with their gods.

Exo 23:33 They shall not live in your land, because they will make you sin against Me; for if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you."

Exo 24:1 Then He said to Moses, "Come up to the Lord, you and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu and seventy of the elders of Israel, and you shall worship at a distance.

Exo 24:2 Moses alone, however, shall come near to the Lord, but they shall not come near, nor shall the people come up with him."

Exo 24:3 Then Moses came and recounted to the people all the words of the Lord and all the ordinances; and all the people answered with one voice and said, "All the words which the Lord has spoken we will do!"

Exo 24:4 Moses wrote down all the words of the Lord. Then he arose early in the morning, and built an altar at the foot of the mountain with twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel.

Exo 24:5 He sent young men of the sons of Israel, and they offered burnt offerings and sacrificed young bulls as peace offerings to the Lord.

Exo 24:6 Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins, and the other half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.

Exo 24:7 Then he took the book of the covenant and read it in the hearing of the people; and they said, "All that the Lord has spoken we will do, and we will be obedient!"

Exo 24:8 So Moses took the blood and sprinkled it on the people, and said, "Behold the blood of the covenant, which the Lord has made with you in accordance with all these words."

Exo 24:9 Then Moses went up with Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel,

Exo 24:10 and they saw the God of Israel; and under His feet there appeared to be a pavement of sapphire, as clear as the sky itself.

Exo 24:11 Yet He did not stretch out His hand against the nobles of the sons of Israel; and they saw God, and they ate and drank.

Exo 24:12 Now the Lord said to Moses, "Come up to Me on the mountain and remain there, and I will give you the stone tablets with the law and the commandment which I have written for their instruction."

Exo 24:13 So Moses arose with Joshua his servant, and Moses went up to the mountain of God.

Exo 24:14 But to the elders he said, "Wait here for us until we return to you. And behold, Aaron and Hur are with you; whoever has a legal matter, let him approach them."

Exo 24:15 Then Moses went up to the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain.

Exo 24:16 The glory of the Lord rested on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it for six days; and on the seventh day He called to Moses from the midst of the cloud.

Exo 24:17 And to the eyes of the sons of Israel the appearance of the glory of the Lord was like a consuming fire on the mountain top.

Exo 24:18 Moses entered the midst of the cloud as he went up to the mountain; and Moses was on the mountain forty days and forty nights.
