Exodus 22:16-31

“A man might find a woman who is not pledged to be married. She has never had physical relations with a man. He might trick her into having physical relations with him. Then he must give her family the payment to marry her. And she will be his wife. But her father might refuse to allow his daughter to marry him. Then the man must still give the payment for a bride. He must pay the usual charge for a woman who is a virgin. “Put to death any woman who does evil magic. “Put to death anyone who has unnatural physical relations with an animal. “Destroy completely any person who makes a sacrifice to any god except the Lord. “Do not cheat or hurt a foreigner. Remember that you were foreigners in the land of Egypt. “Do not cheat a widow or an orphan. If you do, they will cry out to me for help. I certainly will hear their cry. And I will be very angry and kill you in war. Then your wives will become widows, and your children will become orphans. “You might lend money to one of my people who is poor. Then do not treat him as a moneylender would. Charge him nothing for using your money. Your neighbor might give you his coat as a promise. He is promising to pay you the money he owes you. But you must give it back to him by sunset. That coat is the only cover to keep his body warm. He has nothing else to sleep in. If he cries out to me for help, I will listen because I am merciful. “You must not speak against God. You must not curse a leader of your people. “Do not hold back your offering from the first of your harvest. Give me the first grain that you harvest. Give me the first wine that you make. Also, you must give me your firstborn sons. You must do the same with your bulls and your sheep. Let the firstborn males stay with their mothers for seven days. On the eighth day you must give them to me. “You are to be my holy people. You must not eat the meat of any animal that has been killed by wild animals. Instead, give it to the dogs.
