"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.

If he knocks out the tooth of his male servant or his female servant, he will let the servant go free as compensation for the tooth.

"If an ox gores a man or a woman so that either dies, then the ox must surely be stoned and its flesh must not be eaten, but the owner of the ox will be acquitted.

And if this ox pushed (with the horns) from yesterday the third day, and being testified to its lord, and he will not watch him and he killed the man or the woman; the ox shall be stoned, and also his lord shall 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 must repay the loss. He must give money to its owner, and the dead animal will become his.

If the ox of one man injures the ox of his neighbor so that it dies, then they will sell the live ox and divide its proceeds, and they will also divide the dead ox.

Or if it is known that the ox had the habit of goring, and its owner did not take the necessary precautions, he must surely pay ox for ox, and the dead animal 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 on him, then there is blood guilt for him. A thief must surely make full restitution; if he has nothing, then 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 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 caught, then the owner of the house will be brought before the judges to see whether he has laid his hand on his neighbor's goods.

In all cases of illegal possessions, whether for an ox, a donkey, a sheep, a garment, or any kind of lost item, about which someone says 'This belongs to me,' the matter of the two of them will come before the judges, and the one whom the judges declare guilty must repay double to his neighbor.

then there will be an oath to the Lord between the two of them, that he has not laid his hand on his neighbor's goods, and its owner will accept this, and he will not have to pay.

But if it was stolen from him, he will pay its owner.

If it is torn to pieces [by some predator or by accident], let him bring the mangled carcass as evidence; he shall not make restitution for what was torn to pieces.

"If a man borrows an animal from his neighbor, and it is hurt or dies when its owner was not with it, the man who borrowed it will surely pay.

If its owner was with it, he will not have to pay; if it was hired, what was paid for the hire covers it.

If afflicting, thou shalt afflict him, if crying, he shall cry to me, hearing, I will hear his cry.

And my wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.

If, silver, thou wilt lend unto my people - unto the humbled one by thee, thou shalt not be to him like one that lendeth on interest, - thou shalt not lay upon him interest.

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

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.

" '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.

"You will be holy people to me; you must not eat any meat torn by animals in the field. You must throw it to the dogs.

" '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.

From the word of falsehood thou shalt go far away; and the innocent and the just one thou shalt not kill: for I will not justify the unjust one.

And thou shalt not take a gift; for the gift will blind the seeing, and will pervert just words.

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 year, shalt thou let it rest and be still so shall the needy of thy people eat, and what they leave, shall the wild-beast of the field eat, - in like manner, shalt thou deal with thy vineyard with thine oliveyard.

" '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.

At three times in the year all your males will appear before the Lord God.

" '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.

Watch from his face, and hear to his voice; thou shalt not rebel against him: he will not lift up your transgression; for my name is in the midst of him.

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.

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

" '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 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.

And there shall not be bereaving of children or barren upon thy land: the number of thy days I will fill up.

I will send my terror before thee and I killed all the people which thou shalt come to them; and I gave all thine enemies the back to thee.

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

I will not drive them out from thy face in one year, lest the land shall be desolate, and the beast of the field multiply upon thee.

By little and little I will drive them out from thy face, till when thou shalt be fruitful and thou didst inherit the land.

And I put thy bounds from the sea of sedge, and even to the sea of the Philistines, and from the desert even to the river: for I will give into your hand those inhabiting the land, and thou drove them out from before thee.

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

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.

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 will come and recount to the people all the words of Jehovah, and all the judgments: and all the people will answer with one voice, and will say, All the words which Jehovah spake, 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 will take the book of the covenant and read in the ears of the people: and they will say, All which Jehovah spake we will do, and we will heed.

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 Jehovah will say to Moses, Come up to me to the mountain, and be there: and I will give to thee tablets of stone, and the law and the commands which I wrote, to teach 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 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 ye to me a holy place; and I will abide in the midst of you.

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.
