Exodus 22 :: Darby Translation (DBY)

Exo 22:1If a man steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it, he shall restore five oxen for the ox, and four sheep for the sheep.
Exo 22:2If the thief be encountered breaking in, and be smitten so that he die, there shall be no blood-guiltiness for him.
Exo 22:3If the sun be risen on him, there shall be blood-guiltiness for him; he should have made full restitution: if he had nothing, he would have been sold for his theft.
Exo 22:4If the stolen thing be actually found alive in his hand, whether it be ox, or ass, or sheep, he shall restore double.
Exo 22:5If a man shall cause a field or vineyard to be eaten, and put in his cattle, and pasture in another man's field, of the best of his own field, and of the best of his own vineyard shall he make it good.
Exo 22:6-- If fire break out, and seize the thorns, and the stacks of corn, or the standing corn, or the field be consumed, he that kindled the fire shall fully make it good.
Exo 22:7-- If a man deliver unto his neighbour money or stuff to keep, and it be stolen out of the man's house; if the thief be found, let him restore double;
Exo 22:8if the thief be not found, the master of the house shall be brought before the judges, to see if he has not put his hand unto his neighbour's goods.
Exo 22:9As to all manner of fraud, -- as to ox, as to ass, as to sheep, as to clothing, as to everything lost, of which a man saith, It is this -- the cause of both parties shall come before the judges: he whom the judges shall condemn shall restore double to his neighbour.
Exo 22:10If a man deliver unto his neighbour an ass, or an ox, or a sheep, or any cattle, to keep, and it die, or be hurt, or driven away, and no man see it,
Exo 22:11an oath of Jehovah shall be between them both, that he hath not put his hand unto his neighbour's goods; and the owner of it shall accept it, and he shall not make it good.
Exo 22:12But if it have been stolen from him, he shall make it good unto its owner.
Exo 22:13If it have been torn in pieces, let him bring it as witness: he shall not make good what was torn.
Exo 22:14-- And if a man borrow anything of his neighbour, and it be hurt, or die, its owner not being with it, he shall fully make it good;
Exo 22:15if the owner thereof be with it, he shall not make it good; if it be a hired thing, it came for its hire.

Exo 22:23If thou afflict him in any way, if he cry at all unto me, I will certainly hear his cry;

Exo 22:25-- If thou lend money to my people, the poor with thee, thou shalt not be to him as a usurer: ye shall charge him no interest.
Exo 22:26-- If thou at all take thy neighbour's garment in pledge, thou shalt return it to him before the sun goes down;
Exo 22:27for that is his only covering, his garment for his skin: on what shall he lie down? And it shall come to pass, when he crieth unto me, that I will hear; for I am gracious.
Exo 22:28Thou shalt not revile the judges, nor curse a prince amongst thy people.
Exo 22:29-- Thou shalt not delay the fulness of thy threshing-floor and the outflow of thy winepress. The firstborn of thy sons shalt thou give unto me.

In 1867, John Nelson Darby translated the New Testament from Greek into English. Further revisions were done in 1872 and 1884. Darby’s work was first published as The Holy Scriptures: A New Translation from the Original Languages by J. N. Darby. After Darby’s death in 1882, some of his students worked together to produce the complete Darby Bible based on the Masoretic Hebrew text, Darby’s German (Elberfelder), and the French (Pau) translations. In 1890, the first complete Darby Bible was published in English. This translation of the Bible is in the public domain.
