If there be a controversy between men, and they come unto judgment, that {the judges} may judge them; then they shall justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked.

Speak unto the children of Israel, When a man or woman shall commit any sin that men commit, to do a trespass against the LORD, and that person be guilty;

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

If the theft be certainly found in his hand alive, whether it be ox, or ass, or sheep; he shall restore double.

If any man trespass against his neighbour, and an oath be laid upon him to cause him to swear, and the oath come before thine altar in this house: {and an oath...: Heb. and he require an oath of him}

Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.

So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.

And what cause soever shall come to you of your brethren that dwell in their cities, between blood and blood, between law and commandment, statutes and judgments, ye shall even warn them that they trespass not against the LORD, and {so} wrath come upon you, and upon your brethren: this do, and ye shall not trespass.

Thou shalt not revile the gods, nor curse the ruler of thy people. {gods: or, judges}

Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.

Judges and officers shalt thou make thee in all thy gates, which the LORD thy God giveth thee, throughout thy tribes: and they shall judge the people with just judgment.

Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place {such} over them, {to be} rulers of thousands, {and} rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens:

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.

For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:

If the theft be certainly found in his hand alive, whether it be ox, or ass, or sheep; he shall restore double.

Or all that about which he hath sworn falsely; he shall even restore it in the principal, and shall add the fifth part more thereto, {and} give it unto him to whom it appertaineth, in the day of his trespass offering. {in the day...: or, in the day of his being found guilty: Heb. in the day of his trespass}

[To the chief Musician, Maschil, {A Psalm} of David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said unto him, David is come to the house of Ahimelech.] Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God {endureth} continually. {Maschil: or, of instruction}

And Esau said, Behold, I {am} at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me? {at...: Heb. going to die}

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.

{He is} near that justifieth me; who will contend with me? let us stand together: who {is} mine adversary? let him come near to me. {mine...: Heb. the master of my cause?}

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.

Or have found that which was lost, and lieth concerning it, and sweareth falsely; in any of all these that a man doeth, sinning therein:

I have said, Ye {are} gods; and all of you {are} children of the most High.
