16 ^j“If a man seduces a virgin¹ who is not betrothed and lies with her, he shall give the bride-price² for her and make her his wife. 17 If her father utterly refuses to give her to him, ^jhe shall pay money equal to the ^kbride-price for virgins.

18 ^l“You shall not permit a sorceress to live.

19 ^m“Whoever lies with an animal shall be put to death.

20 ⁿ“Whoever sacrifices to any god, other than the Lord alone, shall be devoted to destruction.³

21 ^o“You shall not wrong a sojourner or oppress him, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt. 22 ^pYou shall not mistreat any widow or fatherless child. 23 If you do mistreat them, and they ^qcry out to me, I will surely ^rhear their cry, 24 and my wrath will burn, and I will kill you with the sword, and ^syour wives shall become widows and your children fatherless.

25 ^t“If you lend money to any of my people with you who is poor, you shall not be like a moneylender to him, and you shall not exact interest from him. 26 ^uIf ever you take your neighbor’s cloak in pledge, you shall return it to him before the sun goes down, 27 for that is his only covering, and it is his cloak for his body; in what else shall he sleep? And if he ^qcries to me, I will hear, for I am ^vcompassionate.

28 ^w“You shall not revile God, nor ^wcurse a ruler of your people.

29 “You shall not delay to offer from the fullness of your harvest and from the outflow of your presses. ^xThe firstborn of your sons you shall give to me. 30 ^yYou shall do the same with your oxen and with your sheep: ^zseven days it shall be with its mother; on the eighth day you shall give it to me.

31 ^a“You shall be consecrated to me. Therefore ^byou shall not eat any flesh that is torn by beasts in the field; ^cyou shall throw it to the dogs.

1 ^d“You shall not spread a false report. You shall not join hands with a wicked man to be a ^emalicious witness. 2 You shall not fall in with the many to do evil, nor shall you bear witness in a lawsuit, siding with the many, so as to pervert justice, 3 ^fnor shall you be partial to a poor man in his lawsuit.

4 ^g“If you meet your enemy’s ox or his donkey going astray, you shall bring it back to him. 5 If you see the donkey of one who hates you lying down under its burden, you shall refrain from leaving him with it; you shall rescue it with him.

6 ^h“You shall not pervert the justice due to your poor in his lawsuit. 7 ^dKeep far from a false charge, and ⁱdo not kill the innocent and righteous, for ^jI will not acquit the wicked. 8 ^kAnd you shall take no bribe, for a bribe blinds the clear-sighted and subverts the cause of those who are in the right.

9 ^l“You shall not oppress a sojourner. You know the heart of a sojourner, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt.

10 ^m“For six years you shall sow your land and gather in its yield, 11 but the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie fallow, that the poor of your people may eat; and what they leave the beasts of the field may eat. You shall do likewise with your vineyard, and with your olive orchard.

12 ⁿ“Six days you shall do your work, but on the seventh day you shall rest; that your ox and your donkey may have rest, and the son of your servant woman, and the alien, may be refreshed.

13 ^o“Pay attention to all that I have said to you, and make no mention of the names of other gods, nor let it be heard on your lips.

14 ^p“Three times in the year you shall keep a feast to me. 15 ^qYou shall keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread.

You shall keep the ^uFeast of Ingathering at the end of the year, when you gather in from the field the fruit of your labor. 17 ^pThree times in the year shall all your males appear before the Lord God.

18 ^v“You shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with anything leavened, or let the fat of my feast remain until the morning.

19 “The best of the ^wfirstfruits of your ground you shall bring into the house of the Lord your God.

^x“You shall not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk.
