Exo 22:2'If in the breaking through, the thief is found, and he hath been smitten, and hath died, there is no blood for him;
Exo 22:3if the sun hath risen upon him, blood is for him, he doth certainly repay; if he have nothing, then he hath been sold for his theft;
Exo 22:4if the theft is certainly found in his hand alive, whether ox, or ass, or sheep -- double he repayeth.
Exo 22:5'When a man depastureth a field or vineyard, and hath sent out his beast, and it hath pastured in the field of another, of the best of his field, and the best of his vineyard, he doth repay.

Exo 22:7'When a man doth give unto his neighbour silver, or vessels to keep, and it hath been stolen out of the man's house; if the thief is found, he repayeth double.
Exo 22:8'If the thief is not found, then the master of the house hath been brought near unto God, whether he hath not put forth his hand against the work of his neighbour;
Exo 22:9for every matter of transgression, for ox, for ass, for sheep, for raiment, for any lost thing of which it is said that it is his; unto God cometh the matter of them both; he whom God doth condemn, he repayeth double to his neighbour.
Exo 22:10'When a man doth give unto his neighbour an ass, or ox, or sheep, or any beast to keep, and it hath died, or hath been hurt, or taken captive, none seeing --
Exo 22:11an oath of Jehovah is between them both, that he hath not put forth his hand against the work of his neighbour, and its owner hath accepted, and he doth not repay;
Exo 22:12but if it is certainly stolen from him, he doth repay to its owner;
Exo 22:13if it is certainly torn, he bringeth it in -- a witness; the torn thing he doth not repay.
Exo 22:14'And when a man doth ask anything from his neighbour, and it hath been hurt or hath died -- its owner not being with it -- he doth certainly repay;
Exo 22:15if its owner is with it, he doth not repay, -- if it is a hired thing, it hath come for its hire.

Exo 22:26if thou dost at all take in pledge the garment of thy neighbour, during the going in of the sun thou dost return it to him:
Exo 22:27for it alone is his covering, it is his garment for his skin; wherein doth he lie down? and it hath come to pass, when he doth cry unto Me, that I have heard, for I am gracious.
Exo 22:28'God thou dost not revile, and a prince among thy people thou dost not curse.
