Exodus 22:12-24 New Century Version (NCV)

2-4. “The robber who is caught must pay back what he stole. If he owns nothing, he must be sold as a slave to pay for what he stole. If the stolen animal is found alive with the robber, he must give the owner two animals for every animal he stole, whether it was a bull, donkey, or sheep.“If a thief is killed while breaking into a house at night, the one who killed him is not guilty of murder. But if this happens during the day, he is guilty of murder.

12. But if the animal was stolen from the neighbor, he must pay the owner for it.

13. If wild animals killed it, the neighbor must bring the body as proof, and he will not have to pay for the animal that was killed.

14. “If a man borrows an animal from his neighbor, and it gets hurt or dies while the owner is not there, the one who borrowed it must pay the owner for the animal.

15. But if the owner is with the animal, the one who borrowed it does not have to pay. If the animal was rented, the rental price covers the loss.

16. “Suppose a man finds a woman who is not pledged to be married and has never had sexual relations with a man. If he tricks her into having sexual relations with him, he must give her family the payment to marry her, and she will become his wife.

17. But if her father refuses to allow his daughter to marry him, the man must still give the usual payment for a bride who has never had sexual relations.

18. “Put to death any woman who does evil magic.

19. “Put to death anyone who has sexual relations with an animal.

20. “Destroy completely any person who makes a sacrifice to any god except the Lord.

21. “Do not cheat or hurt a foreigner, because you were foreigners in the land of Egypt.

22. “Do not cheat a widow or an orphan.

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

24. And I will be very angry and kill you in war. Then your wives will become widows, and your children will become orphans.
