Basic HTML Version
33
And if a man shall open a pit, or if a man shall dig a pit, and not cover it, and an ox or an ass
fall therein;
34
The owner of the pit shall make
it
good,
and
give money unto the owner of them;
and the dead
beast
shall be his.
35
And if one man’s ox hurt another’s, that he die; then they shall sell the live ox, and divide the
money of it; and the dead
ox
also they shall divide.
36
Or if it be known that the ox hath used to
push in time past, and his owner hath not kept him in; he shall surely pay ox for ox; and the dead
shall be his own.
CHAPTER 22
If a man shall steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it; he shall restore five oxen for an ox, and
four sheep for a sheep.
2
If a thief be found breaking up, and be smitten that he die,
there shall
no blood
be shed
for
him.
3
If the sun be risen upon him,
there shall be
blood
shed
for him;
for
he should make full
restitution; if he have nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.
4
If the theft be certainly found in
his hand alive, whether it be ox, or ass, or sheep; he shall restore double.
5
If a man shall cause a field or vineyard to be eaten, and shall put in his beast, and shall feed
in another man’s field; of the best of his own field, and of the best of his own vineyard, shall he
make restitution.
6
If fire break out, and catch in thorns, so that the stacks of corn, or the standing corn, or the
field, be consumed
therewith;
he that kindled the fire shall surely make restitution.
7
If a man shall 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 pay double.
8
If the thief be not found, then the master
of the house shall be brought unto the judges,
to see
whether he have put his hand unto his
neighbour’s goods.
9
For all manner of trespass,
whether it be
for ox, for ass, for sheep, for raiment,
or
for any manner of lost thing, which
another
challengeth to be his, the cause of both parties shall
come before the judges;
and
whom the judges shall condemn, he shall pay double unto his neighbour.
10
If a man deliver unto his neighbour an ass, or an ox, or a sheep, or any beast, to keep; and it die,
or be hurt, or driven away, no man seeing
it:
11
Then
shall an oath of the L
ORD
be between them
both, that he hath not put his hand unto his neighbour’s goods; and the owner of it shall accept
thereof,
and he shall not make
it
good.
12
And if it be stolen from him, he shall make restitution
unto the owner thereof.
13
If it be torn in pieces,
then
let him bring it
for
witness,
and
he shall not
make good that which was torn.
14
And if a man borrow
ought
of his neighbour, and it be hurt, or die, the owner thereof
being
not with it, he shall surely make
it
good.
15
But
if the owner thereof
be
with it, he shall not make
it
good: if it
be
an hired
thing,
it came for his hire.
