New King James Version

International Standard Version

1“If a man steals an ox or a sheep, and slaughters it or sells it, he shall restore five oxen for an ox and four sheep for a sheep.

1 "If a man steals an ox or sheep and slaughters it or sells it, he is to repay five oxen for the ox and four sheep for the sheep.

2If the thief is found breaking in, and he is struck so that he dies, there shall be no guilt for his bloodshed.

2"If a thief is found while breaking into a house, and is struck down and dies, it is not a capital crime in that case,

3If the sun has risen on him, there shall be guilt for his bloodshed. He should make full restitution; if he has nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.

3but if the sun has risen on him, then it is a capital crime in that case. A thief shall certainly make restitution, but if he has nothing, he is to be sold for his theft.

4If the theft is certainly found alive in his hand, whether it is an ox or donkey or sheep, he shall restore double.

4If what was stolen is actually found alive in his possession, whether an ox, a donkey or a sheep, he is to repay double.

5“If a man causes a field or vineyard to be grazed, and lets loose his animal, and it feeds in another man’s field, he shall make restitution from the best of his own field and the best of his own vineyard.

5"When a man lets a field or vineyard be grazed over or releases his livestock so that they graze in another man's field, he is to make restitution from the best of his field or vineyard.

6“If fire breaks out and catches in thorns, so that stacked grain, standing grain, or the field is consumed, he who kindled the fire shall surely make restitution.

6"When a fire breaks out and spreads into thorn bushes and consumes stacked grain or standing grain or the field, the one who started the fire certainly is to make restitution.

7“If a man delivers to his neighbor money or articles to keep, and it is stolen out of the man’s house, if the thief is found, he shall pay double.

7"When a man gives his neighbor money or goods for safekeeping and it's stolen from the neighbor's house, the thief, if found, is to repay double.

8If the thief is not found, then the master of the house shall be brought to the judges to see whether he has put his hand into his neighbor’s goods.

8If the thief is not found, the owner of the house is to appear before the judges to see whether or not the thief took his neighbor's property.

9“For any kind of trespass, whether it concerns an ox, a donkey, a sheep, or clothing, or for any kind of lost thing which another claims to be his, the cause of both parties shall come before the judges; and whomever the judges condemn shall pay double to his neighbor.

9"In every ownership dispute involving an ox, donkey, sheep, garment, or anything that is lost where a person says, 'This is mine,' the case between the two of them is to come before the judges, and the one that the judges declare guilty is to repay double to his neighbor.

10If a man delivers to his neighbor a donkey, an ox, a sheep, or any animal to keep, and it dies, is hurt, or driven away, no one seeing it,

10"When a man gives a donkey, ox, sheep, or any animal to his neighbor for safe keeping, and it dies or is injured or is driven away when no one is looking,

11then an oath of the LORD shall be between them both, that he has not put his hand into his neighbor’s goods; and the owner of it shall accept that, and he shall not make it good.

11the two of them are to take an oath in the LORD's presence that the accused has not taken his neighbor's property. Its owner is to accept this, and the neighbor is not to make restitution.

12But if, in fact, it is stolen from him, he shall make restitution to the owner of it.

12But if it was actually stolen from him, the neighbor is to make restitution to its owner.

13If it is torn to pieces by a beast, then he shall bring it as evidence, and he shall not make good what was torn.

13If it was torn to pieces, let the neighbor bring the remains as evidence, and he is not to make restitution for what was torn apart.

14“And if a man borrows anything from his neighbor, and it becomes injured or dies, the owner of it not being with it, he shall surely make it good.

14"When a man borrows an animal from his neighbor, and it's injured or dies while its owner was not with it, he is certainly to make restitution.

15If its owner was with it, he shall not make it good; if it was hired, it came for its hire.

15If its owner was with it, he is not to make restitution. If it was hired, its fee covers the loss."

16“If a man entices a virgin who is not betrothed, and lies with her, he shall surely pay the bride-price for her to be his wife.

16"When a man seduces a virgin who is not engaged to be married and has sexual relations with her, he must pay her bride price, and she is to become his wife.

17If her father utterly refuses to give her to him, he shall pay money according to the bride-price of virgins.

17If her father absolutely refuses to give her to him, he is to pay an amount equal to the bride price for virgins.

18“You shall not permit a sorceress to live.

18"You are not to allow a sorceress to live.

19“Whoever lies with an animal shall surely be put to death.

19"Whoever has sexual relations with an animal is certainly to be put to death.

20“He who sacrifices to any god, except to the LORD only, he shall be utterly destroyed.

20"Anyone who sacrifices to a god, except the LORD alone, is to be utterly destroyed.

21“You shall neither mistreat a stranger nor oppress him, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.

21"You are not to wrong or oppress an alien, because you were aliens in the land of Egypt.

22“You shall not afflict any widow or fatherless child.

22"You are not to mistreat any widow or orphan.

23If you afflict them in any way, and they cry at all to Me, I will surely hear their cry;

23If you do mistreat them, they'll certainly cry out to me, and I'll immediately hear their cry.

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

24And I'll be angry and will kill you with swords, and your wives will become widows and your children orphans.

25“If you lend money to any of My people who are poor among you, you shall not be like a moneylender to him; you shall not charge him interest.

25"If you loan money to my people, to the poor among you, don't be like a creditor to them and don't impose interest on them.

26If you ever take your neighbor’s garment as a pledge, you shall return it to him before the sun goes down.

26If you take your neighbor's coat as collateral, you are to return it to him by sunset,

27For that is his only covering, it is his garment for his skin. What will he sleep in? And it will be that when he cries to Me, I will hear, for I am gracious.

27for it's his only covering; it's his outer garment, for what else can he sleep in? And when he cries out to me, I'll hear him, for I am gracious.

28“You shall not revile God, nor curse a ruler of your people.

28"You are not to blaspheme God or curse a ruler of your people.

29“You shall not delay to offer the first of your ripe produce and your juices. The firstborn of your sons you shall give to Me.

29"You are not to hold back the fullness of your harvest and the outflow of your wine presses. You are to give to me the firstborn of your sons.

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

30You are to do the same with your oxen and your sheep. They shall be with their mother for seven days and then on the eighth day you are to give them to me.

31“And you shall be holy men to Me: you shall not eat meat torn by beasts in the field; you shall throw it to the dogs.

31"You are to be people set apart for me. You are not to eat flesh torn apart in the field; you are to throw it to the dogs."
