Laws About Restitution

And if a man shall open a pit,

or if a man shall dig a pit,

and not cover it,

and an ox or an ass fall therein;

The owner of the pit shall make it good,

and give money unto the owner of them;

and the dead beast shall be his.

And if one man's ox hurt another's, that he die;

then they shall sell the live ox,

and divide the money of it;

and the dead ox also they shall divide.

Or if it be known that the ox hath used to push in time past,

and his owner hath not kept him in;

he shall surely pay ox for ox;

and the dead shall be his own.

                                  Exodus 21:33-36

'If a man shall steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it; 
.. he shall restore five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep.
If a thief be found breaking up, 
.. and be smitten that he die, 
.... there shall no blood be shed for him.
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 theft be certainly found in his hand alive, 
.. whether it be ox, or ass, or sheep; 
.... he shall restore double.
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 of the best of his own vineyard, 
.......... shall he make 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.'

(Exodus 22:1-6)

'If a man shall deliver unto his neighbour money or stuff to keep,
.. and it be stolen out of the man's house; 
if the thief be found, let him pay double.
If the thief be not found, 
.. then the master of the house shall be brought unto the judges, 
.... to see whether he have put his hand unto his neighbour's goods.
For all manner of trespass, 
.. whether it be for ox, for ass, for sheep, for raiment, 
.... or for any manner of lost thing, which another challengeth to be his, 
...... the cause of both parties shall come before the judges; 
........ and whom the judges shall condemn, 
.......... he shall pay double unto his neighbour.
If a man deliver unto his neighbour an ass, or an ox, 
.. or a sheep, or any beast, to keep; 
.... and it die, or be hurt, or driven away, 
...... no man seeing it:
........ Then shall an oath of the LORD be between them both, 
.......... that he hath not put his hand unto his neighbour's goods; 
............ and the owner of it shall accept thereof, 
.............. and he shall not make it good.
And if it be stolen from him, 
.. he shall make restitution unto the owner thereof.
.... If it be torn in pieces, then let him bring it for witness, 
...... and he shall not make good that which was torn.
And if a man borrow ought of his neighbour, and it be hurt, or die,
.. the owner thereof being not with it, 
.... he shall surely make it good.
...... but if the owner thereof be with it, he shall not make it good: 
........ if it be an hired thing, it came for his hire.'

(Exodus 22:7-15)

Laws About Social Justice

And if a man entice a maid that is not betrothed,

and lie with her,

he shall surely endow her to be his wife.

If her father utterly refuse to give her unto him,

he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.

Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.

Whosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death.

He that sacrificeth unto any god,

save unto the LORD only,

he shall be utterly destroyed.

Exodus 22:16-20

Thou shalt neither vex a stranger,

nor oppress him:

for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.

Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child.

If thou afflict them in any wise,

and they cry at all unto me,

I will surely hear their cry;

And my wrath shall wax hot,

and I will kill you with the sword;

and your wives shall be widows,

and your children fatherless.

Exodus 22:21-24

If thou lend money to any of my people that is poor by thee,

thou shalt not be to him as an usurer,

neither shalt thou lay upon him usury.

If thou at all take thy neighbour's raiment to pledge,

thou shalt deliver it unto him by that the sun goeth down:

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.

Exodus 22:25-27

Thou shalt not revile the gods,

nor curse the ruler of thy people.

Thou shalt not delay to offer the first of thy ripe fruits,

and of thy liquors:

the firstborn of thy sons shalt thou give unto me.

Likewise shalt thou do with thine oxen,

and with thy sheep:

seven days it shall be with his dam;

on the eighth day thou shalt give it me.

And ye shall be holy men unto me:

neither shall ye eat any flesh that is torn of beasts in the field;

ye shall cast it to the dogs.

Exodus 22:28-31

Thou shalt not raise a false report:

put not thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.

Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil;

neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment:

Neither shalt thou countenance a poor man in his cause.

If thou meet thine enemy's ox or his ass going astray,

thou shalt surely bring it back to him again.

If thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lying under his burden,

and wouldest forbear to help him,

thou shalt surely help with him.

Thou shalt not wrest the judgment of thy poor in his cause.

           Comparing Exodus 23:6 with Exodus 23:3, it was the part of the judge to defend the poor against the oppression of the rich, and the part of the witness to take care lest his feelings of natural pity should tempt him to falsify evidence. 

Keep thee far from a false matter;

and the innocent and righteous slay thou not:

for I will not justify the wicked.

And thou shalt take no gift:

for the gift blindeth the wise,

and perverteth the words of the righteous.

Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger:

for ye know the heart of a stranger,

seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.

Exodus 23:1-9 +  Barnes Notes

@In Him 

2 hours ago, In Him said:

Thou shalt not wrest the judgment of thy poor in his cause.

           Comparing Exodus 23:6 with Exodus 23:3, it was the part of the judge to defend the poor against the oppression of the rich, and the part of the witness to take care lest his feelings of natural pity should tempt him to falsify evidence. 

Interesting and helpful info. Thanks.

'And six years thou shalt sow thy land, 
.. and shalt gather in the fruits thereof:
.... but the seventh year thou shalt let it rest and lie still; 
...... that the poor of thy people may eat: 
........ and what they leave the beasts of the field shall eat. 
.......... In like manner thou shalt deal with thy vineyard, 
............ and with thy oliveyard.
.. Six days thou shalt do thy work, 
.... and on the seventh day thou shalt rest: 
....,. that thine ox and thine ass may rest, 
........ and the son of thy handmaid, and the stranger, may be refreshed.
And in all things that I have said unto you be circumspect: 
.. and make no mention of the name of other gods
.... neither let it be heard out of thy mouth.'
(Exodus 23:10-13)
