katapi HOME Exodus 22:16-31 - Moral and religious laws.  Ex.22.16-31

22 16 "If a man seduces a virgin who is not betrothed, and lies with her, he shall give the marriage present for her, and make her his wife. 22 17 If her father utterly refuses to give her to him, he shall pay money equivalent to the marriage present for virgins.

22 18 "You shall not permit a sorceress to live.

22 19 "Whoever lies with a beast shall be put to death.

22 20 "Whoever sacrifices to any god, save to Yahweh only, shall be utterly destroyed.

22 21 "You shall not wrong a stranger or oppress him, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt. 22 22 You shall not afflict any widow or orphan. 22 23 If you do afflict them, and they cry out to me, I will surely hear their cry; 22 24 and my wrath will burn, and I will kill you with the sword, and your wives shall become widows and your children fatherless.

22 25 "If you lend money to any of my people with you who is poor, you shall not be to him as a creditor, and you shall not exact interest from him. 22 26 If ever you take your neighbour's garment in pledge, you shall restore it to him before the sun goes down; 22 27 for that is his only covering, it is his mantle for his body; in what else shall he sleep? And if he cries to me, I will hear, for I am compassionate.

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

22 29 "You shall not delay to offer from the fulness of your harvest and from the outflow of your presses.

"The first-born of your sons you shall give to me. 22 30 You shall do likewise with your oxen and with your sheep: seven days it shall be with its dam; on the eighth day you shall give it to me.

22 31 "You shall be men consecrated to me; therefore you shall not eat any flesh that is torn by beasts in the field; you shall cast it to the dogs.
