¹⁴ If a man gets from his neighbour the use of one of his beasts, and it is damaged or put to death when the owner is not with it, he will certainly have to make payment for the loss.

³⁴ The owner of the hole is responsible; he will have to make payment to their owner, but the dead beast will be his.

¹¹ If he takes his oath before the Lord that he has not put his hand to his neighbour's goods, the owner is to take his word for it and he will not have to make payment for it.

¹⁸ And anyone wounding a beast and causing its death, will have to make payment for it: a life for a life.

² This is how it is to be done: every creditor is to give up his right to whatever he has let his neighbour have; he is not to make his neighbour, his countryman, give it back; because a general forgiveness has been ordered by the Lord.

¹⁹ Do not take interest from an Israelite on anything, money or food or any other goods, which you let him have:

²⁰ From men of other nations you may take interest, but not from an Israelite: so that the blessing of the Lord your God may be on everything to which you put your hand, in the land which you are about to take as your heritage.

⁴ And there were others who said, We have given up our fields and our vine-gardens to get money for the king's taxes.

²¹ The sinner takes money and does not give it back; but the upright man has mercy, and gives to others.

⁴² Give to him who comes with a request, and keep not your property from him who would for a time make use of it.

³⁵ But be loving to those who are against you and do them good, and give them your money, not giving up hope, and your reward will be great and you will be the sons of the Most High: for he is kind to evil men, and to those who have hard hearts.
