When a man delivereth unto his neighbour, an ass, or an ox or a sheep, or any beast, to keep, - and it dieth or is fractured, or is driven away, no one beholding,

the oath of Yahweh, shall come between them both, That he hath not laid his hand on the property of his neighbour, - then shall the owner thereof accept it and he shall not make restitution.

And when a man asketh aught of his neighbour, and it is fractured or dieth, its owner, not being with it, he shall, surely make restitution.

And, when a man enticeth a virgin who is not betrothed, and lieth with her, he shall, surely pay a purchase-price, that she may be his wife.

if thou, do humiliate, him, when he in anywise crieth out unto me, I will, surely hear, his outcry:

for that is his only covering, that, is his mantle, for his skin, - wherein shall he sleep? and it shall come to pass when he maketh outcry unto me, then will I hear because, gracious, I am.

Even a poor man, shalt thou not prefer in his quarrel.

When thou meetest the ox of thine enemy, or his ass, going astray, thou shalt, surely bring it back, to him.

against the nobles of the sons of Israel, put he not forth his hand, - so then they had vision of God, and did eat and drink,

And thou shalt put the two stones upon the shoulderpieces of the ephod, as stones of memorial for the sons of Israel, - so shall Aaron bear their names before Yahweh upon his two shoulders, for a memorial.

And the stones shall be after the names of the sons of Israel - twelve, after their names, - as the engravings of a seal-ring everyone after his name, shall they be, for the twelve tribes,
