Exodus 22:16-31
Laws of Social Responsibility

16 And if a man entice a maid that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely endow her to be his wife.

16:

17 If her father utterly refuse to give her unto him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.

17:

18 Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.

18:

19 Whosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death.

19:

20 He that sacrificeth unto [any] god, save unto the LORD only, he shall be utterly destroyed.

20:

21 Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.

21:

22 Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child.

22:

23 If thou afflict them in any wise, and they cry at all unto me, I will surely hear their cry;

23:

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

24:

25 If thou lend money to [any of] my people [that is] poor by thee, thou shalt not be to him as an usurer, neither shalt thou lay upon him usury.

25:

26 If thou at all take thy neighbour’s raiment to pledge, thou shalt deliver it unto him by that the sun goeth down:

26:

27 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.

27:

28 Thou shalt not revile the gods, nor curse the ruler of thy people.

28:

29 Thou shalt not delay [to offer] the first of thy ripe fruits, and of thy liquors: the firstborn of thy sons shalt thou give unto me.

29:

30 Likewise shalt thou do with thine oxen, [and] with thy sheep: seven days it shall be with his dam; on the eighth day thou shalt give it me.

30:

31 And ye shall be holy men unto me: neither shall ye eat [any] flesh [that is] torn of beasts in the field; ye shall cast it to the dogs.

31:
