Day 72 - Exodus : Chapter 22

Exodus 22 : More Laws - About Repayment, Morality

If someone steals something, he needs to pay 4 or 5 times the value of the object.
If someone borrows something and if it gets killed or destroyed, he must go to the Temple and take an oath that he was not responsible for it.
If someone unintentionally damages someone's property, he must go to the Temple and take an oath. But if it is intentional or could be avoided (like starting a fire or letting cattle graze to other fields), he must pay for the damages.
In case of property or possession disputes, both parties have to come to the temple to solve it.

If a man seduces a woman who is a virgin, he must pay the bride-price and marry her. If her father would not allow it, the man must pay the amount to her father anyway.
A man who has sexual relations with an animal must be put to death.
No one should mistreat foreigners.
Everyone should give offerings from their grain when they are due.
On the 8th day, a first born male has to be dedicated to God.
