And if there is serious injury, you will give life in place of life,

"If a man strikes the eye of his male servant or his female servant so that he destroys it, he will let the servant go free as compensation for the eye.

And if he causes the tooth of his male slave or the tooth of his female slave to fall out, he will release him as free in place of his tooth.

" 'And if an ox gores a man or a woman and he dies, the ox will surely be stoned, and its meat will not be eaten, and the owner of the ox [is] innocent.

But if it was a goring ox {before} and its owner was warned and did not restrain it and it kills a man or a woman, the ox will be stoned, and the owner also will be put to death.

If a ransom is set on him, he will pay the redemption money for his life according to all that is set on him.

If the ox gores a son or a daughter, the owner will be dealt with according to this rule.

If the ox gores a male slave or a female slave, he will give thirty shekels of silver to his master, and the ox will be stoned.

the owner of the pit is to make restitution. He is to pay money to its owner, and the dead animal will become his.

And if a man's ox injures the ox of his neighbor and it dies, they will sell the living ox and divide the {money}, and they will also divide the dead [one].

But if it was known that the ox had gored previously, and its owner didn't restrain it, he shall certainly repay ox for ox, and the dead ox will become his."

" 'If a man steals an ox or small livestock and slaughters it or sells it, he will make restitution with five cattle in place of the ox and with four sheep or goats in place of the small livestock.

"If a thief is caught breaking in and is struck so that he dies, there will be no blood guilt for him.

(If the sun has risen over him, [there is] bloodguilt for him. He will make full restitution. If {he does not have enough}, he will be sold for his theft.

If indeed the stolen item is found {in his possession} alive, from ox to donkey to small livestock, he will make double restitution.

" 'If a man grazes [his livestock] in a field or a vineyard and he releases his livestock and it grazes in the field of another, he will make restitution [from] the best of his field and the best of his vineyard.

" 'If a fire is started and finds thorn bushes and a stack of sheaves or the standing grain or the field is consumed, the one who started the fire will surely make restitution.

" 'If a man gives to his neighbor money or objects to watch over and it is stolen from the house of the man, if the thief is found, he will make double restitution.

If the thief is not found, the owner of the house will be brought {to the sanctuary} [to learn] whether or not he reached out his hand to his neighbor's possession.

Concerning every account of transgression--concerning an ox, concerning a donkey, concerning small livestock, concerning clothing, concerning all lost property--where [someone] says, "This belongs to me," the matter of the two of them will come to God; whomever God declares guilty will make double restitution to his neighbor.

the oath of Yahweh will be between the two of them [concerning] whether or not he has reached out his hand to his neighbor's possession, and its owner will accept [this], and he will not make restitution.

But if indeed it was stolen from him, he will make restitution to its owner.

If indeed it was torn to pieces, he will bring it as evidence--the mangled carcass; he will not make restitution.

" 'If a man borrows from his neighbor and it is injured or dies [while] its owner is not with it, he will make restitution.

If its owner [was] with it, he will not make restitution; if it was hired, it came with its hiring fee.

" 'If a man seduces a virgin who is not engaged and he lies with her, he surely will give her bride price {to have her as his wife}.

If her father absolutely refuses to give her to him, he will weigh out money according to the bride price for the virgin.

" 'You will not let a witch live.

" 'Anyone lying with an animal will surely be put to death.

" 'Whoever sacrifices to the gods--not to Yahweh, to him alone--will be destroyed.

" 'You will not mistreat an alien, and you will not oppress him, because you were aliens in the land of Egypt.

" 'You will not afflict any widow or orphan.

If you indeed afflict him, yes, if he cries out at all to me, I will certainly hear his cry of distress.

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

" 'If you lend money [to] my people, [to] the needy with you, you will not be to him as a creditor; you will not {charge him interest}.

If indeed you require the cloak of your neighbor as a pledge, you will return it to him at sundown,

because it is his only garment; it is his cloak for his skin. In what will he sleep? {And} when he cries out to me, I will hear, because I [am] gracious.

" 'You will not curse God, and you will not curse a leader among your people.

" 'You will not delay the fullness of your harvest and the juice from your press; you will give me the firstborn of your sons.

You will do likewise for your ox and for your sheep and goats; seven days it will be with its mother; on the eighth, you will give it to me.

And you will be men of holiness for me; and you will not eat meat [from] a carcass mangled in the field; you will throw it to the dog.

" 'You will not {spread} a false report. Do not lift your hand with [the] wicked to be a malicious witness.

You will not {follow} a majority for evil, and you will not testify concerning a legal dispute to turn aside after a majority to pervert [justice].

You will not be partial to a powerless [person] in his legal dispute.

" 'If you come upon the ox of your enemy or his donkey going astray, you will certainly bring it back to him

If you see the donkey of your enemy lying down under its burden, you will refrain from abandoning him. You will surely arrange [it] with him.

" 'You will not pervert the justice of your poor in his legal dispute.

You will stay far from a {false charge}, and do not kill [the] innocent and [the] righteous, because I will not declare [the] wicked righteous.

And you will not take a bribe, because the bribe makes [the] sighted blind and ruins [the] words of [the] righteous.

And you will not oppress an alien; you yourselves know the feelings of the alien, because you were aliens in the land of Egypt.

" 'And six years you will sow your land and gather its yield.

But the seventh you will let it rest and leave it fallow, and the poor of your people will eat, and their remainder the animals of the field will eat. You will do likewise for your vineyard and for your olive trees.

" 'Six days you will do your work, but on the seventh day you will stop so that your ox and your donkey will rest and the son of your slave woman and the alien will be refreshed.

" 'And you will be attentive to all that I have said to you, and you will not {profess} the name of other gods; it will not be heard in your mouth.

" 'Three times in the year you will hold a festival for me

You will keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread; for seven days you will eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you at [the] appointed time, the month of Abib, because in it you came out from Egypt, and {no one will} appear before me empty-handed.

And [you will keep] the Feast of Harvest, [with] the firstfruits of your work, what you sow in the field. And [you will keep] the Feast of Harvest Gathering when the year goes out, when you gather your work from the field.

Three times in the year all your men will appear before the Lord Yahweh.

" 'You will not sacrifice the blood of my sacrifice together with [food with] yeast, and you will not leave the fat of my feast overnight until morning.

" 'The best of the firstfruits of your land you will bring to the house of Yahweh your God. " 'You will not boil a young goat in its mother's milk.

Be attentive to him and listen to his voice; do not rebel against him, because he will not forgive your transgression, for my name is in him

But if you listen attentively to his voice and do all that I say, I will be an enemy to your enemies and a foe to your foes.

When my angel goes before you and brings you to the Amorites and the Hittites and the Perizzites and the Canaanites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, I will wipe them out.

" 'You will not bow to their gods, and you will not serve them, and you will not act according to their actions, because you will utterly demolish them, and you will utterly break their stone pillars.

And you will serve Yahweh your God, and he will bless your bread and your water, and I will remove sickness from among you.

There will be no one suffering miscarriage or infertile in your land. I will make full the number of your days.

" 'I will release my terror before you, and I will throw into confusion all the people against whom you come, and I will {make all your enemies turn their back to you}.

And I will send the hornet before you, and it will drive out the Hivites, the Canaanites, and the Hittites from before you.

I will not drive them out from before you in one year, lest the land become a desolation and {the wild animals} multiply against you.

Little by little I will drive them out from before you until you are fruitful and take possession of the land.

" 'And I will set your boundary from the {Red Sea} and up to the sea of the Philistines and from [the] desert up to the river, because I will give the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you will drive them out from before you.

You will not make a covenant with them and with their gods.

They will not live in your land, lest they cause you to sin against me when you serve their gods, for it will be a snare to you.'"

And to Moses he said, "Go up to Yahweh--you and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy from the elders of Israel--and you will worship at a distance.

And Moses {alone} will come near to Yahweh, and they will not come near, and the people will not go up with him."

And Moses came, and he told the people all the words of Yahweh and all the regulations. And all the people answered with one voice, and they said, "All the words that Yahweh has spoken we will do."

And Moses will write all the words of Jehovah, and he will rise early in the morning, and will build an altar under the mountain, and twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel.

And he will send forth young men sons of Israel, and they will bring up burnt-offerings, and they will sacrifice sacrifices of peace to Jehovah of bullocks.

And Moses will take half of the blood, and put in basins; and half the blood he sprinkled upon the altar.

And he took the scroll of the covenant and read [it] in the hearing of the people, and they said, "All that Yahweh has spoken we will do, and we will listen."

And Moses will take the blood, and sprinkle upon the people, and will say, Behold the blood of the covenant, which Jehovah made with you concerning all these words.

And Moses will go up, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy from the old men of Israel

And they will see the God of Israel: and under his feet as the work of the whiteness of sapphire, and as the body of the heavens for cleanness.

And to the sides of the sons of Israel he stretched not forth his hand: and they will see God, and eat and drink.

And Yahweh said to Moses, "Come up to me [on] the mountain, and be there, and I will give you the tablets of stone and the law and the commandments that I have written to instruct them."

And Moses will rise up, and Joshua, his minister; and Moses will go up to the mountain of God.

And to the elders he said, "Wait for us here until we return to you. And look, Aaron and Hur are with you. Whoever {has a dispute} will bring [it] to you."

And Moses will go up to the mountain and the cloud will cover the mount

And the glory of Jehovah will settle down upon mount Sinai, and the cloud will cover it six days: and he will call to Moses in the seventh day from the midst of the cloud.

And Moses will come into the midst of the cloud, and will go up to the mountain: and Moses will be in the mountain forty days and forty nights.

And Jehovah will speak to Moses, saying,

"Speak to the {Israelites}, and let them bring to me a contribution. You will receive my contribution from every man whose heart prompts him.

And this is the contribution that you will receive from them--gold and silver and bronze,

And make a sanctuary for me, and I will dwell in the midst of them,

according to all that I show you--the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its equipment--and so you will do.

"And they will make an ark of acacia wood, two and a half cubits its length and a cubit and a half its width and a cubit and a half its height.

And you will overlay it with pure gold, inside and outside you will overlay it, and you will make on it a gold molding all around.

And you will cast for it four gold rings, and you will put [them] on its four feet, with two rings on its one side and two rings on its second side.

And you will make poles of acacia wood, and you will overlay them [with] gold.

And you will put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark to carry the ark with them.
