Chapter 22 of Exodus—New American Standard Bible (NASB)

  1. ¶ “[a]If a man steals an ox or a sheep and slaughters it or sells it, he shall pay five oxen for the ox and 1four sheep for the sheep.
  2. ¶ “[b]If the 2thief is [c]caught while breaking in and is struck so that he dies, there will be no bloodguiltiness on his account.
  3. But if the sun has risen on him, there will be bloodguiltiness on his account. He shall surely make restitution; if he owns nothing, then he shall be 3sold for his theft.
  4. If what he stole is actually found alive in his [d]possession, whether an ox or a donkey or a sheep, 4he shall pay double.
  5. ¶ “If a man lets a field or vineyard be grazed bare and lets his animal loose so that it grazes in another man’s field, he shall make restitution from the best of his own field and the best of his own vineyard.
  6. ¶ “If a fire breaks out and spreads to thorn bushes, so that stacked grain or the standing grain or the field itself is consumed, he who started the fire shall surely make restitution.
  7. ¶ “5If a man gives his neighbor money or goods to keep for him and it is stolen from the man’s house, if the thief is [e]caught, he shall pay double.
  8. If the thief is not [f]caught, then the owner of the house shall [g]appear before [h]6the judges, to determine whether he [i]laid his hands on his neighbor’s property.
  9. For every [j]breach of trust, whether it is for ox, for donkey, for sheep, for clothing, or for any lost thing about which one says, ‘This is it,’ the [k]case of both parties shall come before [l]7the judges; he whom [m]the judges condemn shall pay double to his neighbor.
  10. ¶ “If a man gives his neighbor a donkey, an ox, a sheep, or any animal to keep for him, and it dies or is hurt or is driven away while no one is looking,
  11. an 8oath before the LORD shall be made by the two of them [n]that he has not [o]laid hands on his neighbor’s property; and its owner shall accept it, and he shall not make restitution.
  12. But if it is actually stolen from him, he shall make restitution to its owner.
  13. If it is all torn to pieces, let him bring it as evidence; he shall not make restitution for what has been torn to pieces.
  14. ¶ “If a man [p]borrows anything from his neighbor, and it is injured or dies while its owner is not with it, he shall make full restitution.
  15. If its owner is with it, he shall not make restitution; if it is hired, it came for its hire.
  16. ¶ “9If a man seduces a virgin who is not engaged, and lies with her, he must pay a dowry for her to be his wife.
  17. If her father absolutely refuses to give her to him, he shall [q]pay money equal to the 10dowry for virgins.
  18. ¶ “You shall not allow a 11sorceress to live.
  19. ¶ “12Whoever lies with an animal shall surely be put to death.
  20. ¶ “13He who sacrifices to [r]any god, other than to the LORD alone, shall be [s]utterly destroyed.
  21. ¶ “14You shall not wrong a stranger or oppress him, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.
  22. 15You shall not afflict any widow or orphan.
  23. If you afflict him at all, and 16if he does cry out to Me, 17I will surely hear his cry;
  24. and My anger will be kindled, and I will kill you with the sword, 18and your wives shall become widows and your children fatherless.
  25. ¶ “19If you lend money to My people, to the poor [t]among you, you are not to [u]act as a creditor to him; you shall not [v]charge him 20interest.
  26. If you ever take your neighbor’s cloak 21as a pledge, you are to return it to him before the sun sets,
  27. for that is his only covering; it is his cloak for his [w]body. What else shall he sleep in? And it shall come about that 22when he cries out to Me, I will hear him, for 23I am gracious.
  28. ¶ “You shall not [x]24curse God, 25nor curse a ruler of your people.
  29. ¶ “26You shall not delay the offering from [y]your harvest and your vintage. 27The firstborn of your sons you shall give to Me.
  30. 28You shall do the same with your oxen and with your sheep. It shall be with its mother seven days; 29on the eighth day you shall give it to Me.
  31. ¶ “30You shall be holy men to Me, therefore 31you shall not eat any flesh torn to pieces in the field; you shall throw it to the dogs.

    The NWT adds words to the text that are not in the greek Manuscripts to fit it's own doctrinal position for example

    Compare the wording of the NWT and the NKJV at Colossians 1:15-17

    NKJV says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.

    NWT says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God,the firstborn OF all creation;16 because by means of him all OTHER things were created in the heavens and on the earth, the things visible and the things invisible,whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All OTHER things have been created through him and for him. 17 Also, he is before all OTHER things,and by means of him all OTHER things were made to exist,

    The word “other” is not in the Greek but they add it Why? So they can decieve their followers into thinking that Christ was created by the Father and that he then created other things, that is not what the Greek says.

      Truth is from God and those that follow him. As for lies? John8:44

      Kiamia, I noticed you used a modern version of kjv to make your point about the nwt.

      Why didn’t you use the original kjv of col1:15?

      Is it because it disproves your point? It proves the opposite of what you wrote?

      Here is kjv col1:15 ¶” Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn OF every creature:“

      Now I appeal to your Christian nature to correct your mistake as God is watching each of us, and let us bless the God of Jesus his father.

      Kjv 1Pe 1:3  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ….

    Joshua, Jehovah’s Witnesses have never denied the deity of the Messiah in his prehuman existence. While on Earth he was fully 100% human. I do not mean he was a mere human, he was not affected by Adam’s unfaithful behavior, he was sinless.

    When i do read some comments and seeing that its the same people that are supposed to be called believers but are talking ill of other denominations, it hurts. Let us all remember that We should judge not

      The bible tells us to test the spirits. Satan disguises himself as angel of light. So yes some denomination are not teaching the truth. You are responsible for judging which ones are not. You have to judge the truth at all times. this is what the bible teaches

    The NWT is a very good translation. Dr. Jason David BeDuhn PhD attests to that in his book Truth in Translation. drive.google.com/...5p16melHzg8/view

      The NWT is Satanic filth to its very core.

      The JW Cult is Satanic to its very core.

      Praise Yahweh I will never be a victim of JW brainwashing. If I burn in Hell for eternity or I am ultimately annihilated so be it

      May Yahweh's curse rest on the Watchtower Society and its Satanic leadership

      NWT is a false translation that takes away from the deity of Jesus !

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this service. I like seeing the NASB on your web page in the same format as I read on paper. On other sites, the text area is smaller, and so I have to keep scrolling down to read and sometimes I lose the context. So I really appreciate the format.

    As far as the NWT, you are certainly free to do whatever you think best with your own web pages. I'd suggest that you make a note anytime you have a translation that is associated with only one denomination or church, for example:
    New World Translation (Jehovah's Witness version).

    In Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares. the main idea seems to be that you can't easily distinguish between God's people and not-God's people on this earth, so our Lord's response is to wait until they are shown to be the kind of people they are inside. But the NWT seems like false teaching to me. So I think the warning passages from Jesus' apostles are more applicable, as in 2 Peter 3:15-16, when he talks about Paul's writings:
    "There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures."
    And we also have the positive exhortations, as in 2 Timothy 2:15:
    "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."

      Your suggestion regarding the denominational flagging is duly noted. But I can’t help but wonder, wouldn’t a Catholic also want “Protestant versions” marked as well?

      As for the parable, I’m pretty sure the slaves were convinced in their own minds that they could tell the tares from the wheat. After all, aren’t they the ones who identified the problem in the first place? But the master obviously thought otherwise.

      Furthermore, even at the time when Jesus himself was walking the earth, not everybody who claimed fellowship actually followed him causing John to inquire at Mark 9:39, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him . . . for he who is not against us is for us.”

    Hello, question.. why have you included the NWT with other legitimate bible translations? Or why have you not atleast included a warning to readers? Don't you fear that someone could be influenced by the Watchtower's intentional heresies? Thank you.

      Please site these intentional heresies. I am well versed in the watch tower outline and agree they are in many ways incorrect but i also bet i can point many out from EVERY established or main denomination. There is much to learn from them all as one who drinks milk?

      Judge not lest ye be judged, that is not to pass judgement on you either brother.

      I debate with scripture. I don't hold it to be true that Michael is Y'Shua HaMeshiach but I also firmly hold it to be true that our G-d and Heavenly Father are not the word encarnate and only begotten son.

      I love not seeing "lord" which i relate to baal. I feel the catholic church is a satanic establishment and I am aware a freemason started the hovies but there are evil in high places and our fight is also with principalities.

      What i'm saying is that in my darkest hours, those two were some of if not the only ones who would bring a Bible and eucharist and pray with me.

      We all fall short of the glory of G-d.

      Don't forget the NWT was recognized as the most accurate translation on Jeopardy.

      Lastly, this is different I noted than the NWT i have read and am very familiar with. Pull up the watchtower page and compare. I truly look forward to getting this one!
