If the thief is found [caught] while breaking in, and is struck and killed, there is no liability for his blood.

If the sun shone on him [eyes of witnesses fell upon him], there is liability for his blood. He must make full restitution. If he does not have [the means to do so], he shall be sold [as a slave to pay] for his theft.

If the stolen article is found in his hand [possession], whether it is an ox, donkey or sheep [that is alive], he must pay two live animals.

If he damages a field or vineyard with his animal—he lets his livestock loose, and [or] it feeds in another’s field—from his [own] prime field and prime vineyard he must compensate [the owner].

If a fire goes out of control and finds [catches on] thorns, and then consumes bound or standing grain or a field, full restitution must be made by the one who started the fire.

If a man gives his neighbor money or articles to safeguard and they are stolen from the house of the [watch]man, if the thief is found, he must pay double.

If the thief is not found, the owner of the house [the watchman] must come before the judges [Beis Din], [to swear] that he did not lay a hand on his neighbor’s possessions [for his personal use] [that which his neighbor handed over to him].

In every question of dishonesty whether it involves an ox, a donkey, a sheep, a garment, or anything that was [allegedly] lost of which [a witness] says, “This is it!” the claims of both parties must be brought to [before] the judges. The one whom the judges find guilty, must pay double restitution to his neighbor.

If a man gives his neighbor, a donkey, an ox, a sheep, or any animal for safeguarding; and it dies, or is injured, or is captured, and there is no eyewitness,

an oath to Adonoy shall be between them, that he [the watcher] did not lay his hand on his neighbor’s possession [for his personal use] [that which his neighbor handed over to him]. The owner must accept it [the oath], and [the watcher] need not make restitution.

But if it was indeed stolen from him, he must make restitution to its owner.

If it was torn apart [killed by wild beasts], he [the watcher] must provide witnesses [that is was torn apart]. He then need not pay for that which was torn apart.

If a man borrows something from his neighbor, and it becomes broken or dies; if the owner is not [involved] with him, he [the borrower] must make full restitution.

If the owner is [involved] with him, then he [the borrower] need not make restitution. If it was hired, it [the ox] comes in its rental price.

If a man seduces a virgin who is not betrothed, and lies with her; he must give the dowry to acquire [establish] her as his wife.

If her father utterly refuses to give her to him, he must give [the father] the weight of silver equal to the dowry usually given to virgins.

You shall not allow a witch to live.

Whoever lies with an animal must be put to death.

Whoever slaughters to a god [false gods of the peoples] must be condemned [to die]. [Sacrifices may be offered] to [the Name of] Adonoy alone.

You must not abuse or oppress a stranger, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.

You must not mistreat any widow or orphan.

If you do mistreat him [them], when he cries out to [before] Me, I will indeed hear [obey] his cry.

Then I will cause My anger to flare, and I will kill you by the sword. Your wives will become widows and your children will be orphans.

When you lend money to My people, to the poor person who is with [among] you, do not act toward him as a [demanding] creditor. Do not place the burden of interest [an injury] upon him.

If you take your neighbor’s garment as security, you must return it to him till sunset;

For this alone is his covering, the garment [to cover] his skin. With what shall he lie down [to sleep]? If it happens that he cries out to [before] Me, I will hear [obey] [his cry] for I am gracious.

Do not curse judges. Do not curse a leader of your people.

[Your offering of] the fullness [of your newly ripened produce] and of your terumah-offering’s you must not delay. The first-born of your sons, you shall give to [separate before] Me.

You must do likewise with your oxen and with your sheep. Seven days it shall remain with its mother. On the eighth day you must give it to [separate it before] Me.

You shall be men of holiness to [before] Me, and you must not eat flesh that was torn off in the field [from a living animal]. Throw it to the dog.
