11. the oath of Yahweh shall be between them both, whether he hasn’t put his hand to his neighbor’s goods; and its owner shall accept it, and he shall not make restitution.

14. “If a man borrows anything of his neighbor’s, and it is injured, or dies, its owner not being with it, he shall surely make restitution.

15. If its owner is with it, he shall not make it good. If it is a leased thing, it came for its lease.

16. “If a man entices a virgin who isn’t pledged to be married, and lies with her, he shall surely pay a dowry for her to be his wife.

25. “If you lend money to any of my people with you who is poor, you shall not be to him as a creditor. You shall not charge him interest.

26. If you take your neighbor’s garment as collateral, you shall restore it to him before the sun goes down,

27. for that is his only covering, it is his garment for his skin. What would he sleep in? It will happen, when he cries to me, that I will hear, for I am gracious.

28. “You shall not blaspheme God, nor curse a ruler of your people.
