Exodus 22
Basically if you steal something according to this chapter
you have to pay back double, if you cannot afford it you can be sold off along
with your family if things are that bad.
The next one is that if a man seduces a girl who is not
engaged and sleeps with her he basically has to marry her, if her father
refuses he must still pay as if he had married her.
There are a few things here that seem to carry the death
penalty – sorcery – why only female sorceress have to die I don’t know.
Bestiality is also prohibited as is worship of other gods.
Next bit is something that certain political parties in the
UK would do well to listen to – “Do not ill treat or oppress a foreigner”.
Do not take advantage of the widow or fatherless – God
apparently does not take well to this.
Money lending at interest is prohibited (apart to foreigners
– this is one reason why Jews became moneylenders.)
Why does eating meat from an animal killed by wild animals
make you unholy?
