1"If a man steals an ox or a sheep and slaughters or sells it, he must repay five oxen for an ox and four sheep for a sheep.
“if a man shall steal an ox or a sheep and kill it the wrestlers or sell it he shall restore five oxen for an ox for sheep for a sheep.”
2If a thief is caught breaking in and is beaten to death, no one shall be guilty of bloodshed.
“if a thief be found breaking up and be smitten that he die, there shall no blood be shed for him.”
“If a thief be found breaking up and be smitten that he die there shall no blood be shed for him.”
3But if it happens after sunrise, there is guilt for his bloodshed. A thief must make full restitution; if he has nothing, he himself shall be sold for his theft.
“"...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.".”
“If the sun be risen upon him there shall be blood shed for him for he should make full restitution and if he have nothing then he shall be sold for his theft.”
4If what was stolen is actually found alive in his possession—whether ox or donkey or sheep—he must pay back double.
“if the theft is certainly found in his hand alive whether it be an ox or an ass or sheep he shall restore double.”
5If a man grazes his livestock in a field or vineyard and allows them to stray so that they graze in someone else's field, he must make restitution from the best of his own field or vineyard.
“"...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 the best of his own vineyard, shall he make restitution.".”
“If a man shall cause a field or vineyard to be eaten and you shall put in his beast and shall feed on another man's field and the best of his own field and the best of his own vineyard shall he make restitution.”
6If a fire breaks out and spreads to thornbushes so that it consumes stacked or standing grain, or the whole field, the one who started the fire must make full restitution.
“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.”
“if fire break out, and catch in thorns, so that the stacks of corn or the standing corn of the field be consumed therewith, he that kindled a fire shall surely make restitution.".”
7If a man gives his neighbor money or goods for safekeeping and they are stolen from the neighbor's house, the thief, if caught, must pay back double.
“If a man shall deliver unto his neighbor money or stuff to keep and it be stolen out of the man's house. If the thief is found let him pay double.”
“If a man shall deliver unto his neighbor money or stuff to keep and it be stolen out of the man's house if the thief be found he shall pay double.”
8If the thief is not found, the owner of the house must appear before the judges to determine whether he has taken his neighbor's property.
“thief is not found then the master of the house shall be brought to the judges to see whether he has put his hand into his neighbor's goods”
“If the thief be not found then the master of the house shall be brought unto the judges to see whether he hath put his hand unto his neighbor's good”
9In all cases of illegal possession of an ox, a donkey, a sheep, a garment, or any lost item that someone claims, 'This is mine,' both parties shall bring their cases before the judges. The one whom the judges find guilty must pay back double to his neighbor.
“for all manner of trespass whether it be for ox ass sheep or raiment or for any manner of lost thing which another challenges to be his the cause of both parties shall come before the judges of the gods and whom the judges shall…”
“for all manner of trespass whether it be for ox or for oss or sheep or raiment or any manner of lost thing which another challenges to be his the cause of both parties shall come before the judges of whom the judges shall…”
10If a man gives a donkey, an ox, a sheep, or any other animal to be cared for by his neighbor, but it dies or is injured or stolen while no one is watching,
“if a man deliver unto his neighbor an oss or an ox or a sheep or a beast to keep and it die or be hurt or driven away no man seeing it”
11an oath before the LORD shall be made between the parties to determine whether or not the man has taken his neighbor's property. The owner must accept the oath and require no restitution.
“then shall an oath of the Lord be between them both that he has not put his hand to his neighbor's goods and the owner of it shall accept thereof and shall not make it good.”
“then shall an oath of the Lord be between them both and he shall not put his hand unto his neighbor's goods and the owner of it shall accept of and he shall not make it good.”
12But if the animal was actually stolen from the neighbor, he must make restitution to the owner.
“And if it be stolen from him he shall make restitution unto the owner thereof.”
13If the animal was torn to pieces, he shall bring it as evidence; he need not make restitution for the torn carcass.

17If her father absolutely refuses to give her to him, the man still must pay an amount comparable to the bridal price of a virgin.

“he that sacrifice unto any god save unto the Lord only, he shall be utterly destroyed.”
“He that factually places unto any god, save unto the Lord only, he shall be utterly destroyed.”
21You must not exploit or oppress a foreign resident, for you yourselves were foreigners in the land of Egypt.

26If you take your neighbor's cloak as collateral, return it to him by sunset,
“If thou at all take thy neighbour's raiment to pledge, and shall deliver it unto him by that the sun goeth down,”
27because his cloak is the only covering he has for his body. What else will he sleep in? And if he cries out to Me, I will hear, for I am compassionate.
“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.”
“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.”
28You must not blaspheme God or curse the ruler of your people.
“thou shall not revile the gods nor curse the ruler of Thy people.”
“Thou shalt not revile the judges nor curse the ruler of thy people.”
29You must not hold back offerings from your granaries or vats. You are to give Me the firstborn of your sons.
“thou shalt not delay to offer the first of thy ripe fruits and of thy liquors. The firstborn of thy son shall thou give to me.”
