Exodus
22.
1 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Responsibility for Property. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.
“If a man steals an ox or a sheep,
and kills it, or sells it; he shall pay five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for
a sheep.
2 If the thief is found breaking in, and is
struck so that he dies, there shall be no guilt of bloodshed for him.
3 If the sun has risen on him, guilt of
bloodshed shall be for him; he shall make restitution. If he has nothing, then
he shall be sold for his theft.
4 If the stolen property is found in his hand alive,
whether it is ox, donkey, or sheep, he shall pay double.
5 “If a man causes a field or vineyard to be
eaten, and lets his animal loose, and it grazes in another man’s field, he
shall make restitution from the best of his own field, and from the best of his
own vineyard.
6 “If fire breaks out, and catches in thorns so
that the shocks of grain, or the standing grain, or the field are consumed; he
who kindled the fire shall surely make restitution.
7 “If a man delivers to his neighbor money or
stuff to keep, and it is stolen out of the man’s house; if the thief is found,
he shall pay double.
8 If the thief isn’t found, then the master of
the house shall come near to ELOHIM, to find out if he hasn’t put his hand to
his neighbor’s goods.
9 For every matter of trespass, whether it be
for ox, for donkey, for sheep, for clothing, or for any kind of lost thing,
about which one says, ‘This is mine,’ the cause of both parties shall come
before ELOHIM! He whom ELOHIM condemns shall pay double to his neighbor.
10 “If a man delivers to his neighbor a donkey,
an ox, a sheep, or any animal to keep, and it dies or is injured, or driven
away, no man seeing it;
11 the oath of YHWH shall be between them both,
whether he hasn’t put his hand to his neighbor’s goods; and its owner shall
accept it, and he shall not make restitution.
12 But if it is stolen from him, he shall make
restitution to its owner.
13 If it is torn in pieces, let him bring it
for evidence. He shall not make good that which was torn.
14 “If a man borrows anything of his
neighbor’s, and it is injured, or dies, its owner not being with it, he shall
surely make restitution.
15 If its owner is with it, he shall not make
it good. If it is a leased thing, it came for its lease.
16 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Moral and Ceremonial Principles.
.\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.
“If a man entices a virgin who
isn’t pledged to be married, and lies with her, he shall surely pay a dowry for
her to be his wife.
17 If her father utterly refuses to give her to
him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.
18 “You shall not allow a sorceress to live.
19 “Whoever has sex with an animal shall surely
be put to death.
20 “He who sacrifices to any idol_god, except
to YHWH only, shall be utterly destroyed.
21 “You shall not wrong an alien, neither shall
you oppress him, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt.
22 “You shall not take advantage of any widow
or fatherless child.
23 If you take advantage of them at all, and
they cry at all to me, I will surely hear their cry;
24 and my wrath will grow hot, and I will kill
you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children
fatherless.
25 “If you lend money to any of my people with
you who is poor, you shall not be to him as a creditor; neither shall you
charge him interest.
26 If you take your neighbor’s garment as
collateral, you shall restore it to him before the sun goes down,
27 for that is his only covering, it is his
garment for his skin. What would he sleep in? It will happen, when he cries to
me, that I will hear, for I am gracious.
28 “You shall not blaspheme ELOHIM, nor curse a
ruler of your people.
29 “You shall not delay to offer from your
harvest and from the outflow of your presses. “You shall give the firstborn of
your sons to me.
30 You shall do likewise with your cattle and
with your sheep. Seven days it shall be with its mother, then on the eighth day
you shall give it to me.
31 “You shall be holy men to me, therefore you
shall not eat any flesh that is torn by animals in the field. You shall cast it
to the dogs.
Romans
1.
1 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Greeting. . Paul’s Letter to the Romans! \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.
Paul, a servant of YESHUA the
Messiah, called to be an emissary, set apart for the Good News of ELOHIM,
2 which he promised before through his prophets
in the holy Scriptures,
3 concerning his Son, who was born of the seed
of David according to the flesh,
4 who was declared to be the Son of ELOHIM with
power, according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead,
YESHUA the Messiah our ADONAI,
5 through whom we received grace and the office
of emissary, for obedience of faith among all the nations, for his name’s sake;
6 among whom you are also called to belong to
YESHUA the Messiah;
7 to all who are in Rome, beloved of ELOHIM,
called to be holy ones: Grace to you and peace from ELOHIM our Father and
ADONAI YESHUA the Messiah.
8 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Desire to Visit Rome. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.
First, I thank my ELOHIM through
YESHUA the Messiah for all of you, that your faith is proclaimed throughout the
whole world.
9 For ELOHIM is my witness, whom I serve in my
spirit in the Good News of his Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you
always in my prayers,
10 requesting, if by any means now at last I
may be prospered by the will of ELOHIM to come to you.
11 For I long to see you, that I may impart to
you some spiritual gift, to the end that you may be established;
12 that is, that I with you may be encouraged
in you, each of us by the other’s faith, both yours and mine.
13 Now I don’t desire to have you unaware,
brothers, that I often planned to come to you, and was hindered so far, that I
might have some fruit among you also, even as among the rest of the Gentiles.
14 I am debtor both to Greeks and to
foreigners, both to the wise and to the foolish.
15 So, as much as is in me, I am eager to
proclaim the Good News to you also who are in Rome.
16 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. The Just Live by Faith. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.
For I am not ashamed of the Good
News of Messiah, for it is the power of ELOHIM for salvation for everyone who
believes; for the Jew first, and also for the Greek.
17 For in it is revealed ELOHIM’s righteousness
from faith to faith. As it is written, “But the righteous shall live by faith.”
18 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. ELOHIM's Wrath on
Unrighteousness. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.
For the wrath of ELOHIM is
revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who
suppress the truth in unrighteousness,
19 because that which is known of ELOHIM is
revealed in them, for ELOHIM revealed it to them.
20 For the invisible things of him since the
creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that
are made, even his everlasting power and divinity; that they may be without
excuse.
21 Because, knowing ELOHIM, they didn’t glorify
him as ELOHIM, neither gave thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and
their senseless heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they
became fools,
23 and traded the glory of the incorruptible
ELOHIM for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, and
four-footed animals, and creeping things.
24 Therefore ELOHIM also gave them up in the
lusts of their hearts to uncleanness, that their bodies should be dishonored
among themselves,
25 who exchanged the truth of ELOHIM for a lie,
and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed
forever. Amen.
26 For this reason, ELOHIM gave them up to vile
passions. For their women changed the natural function into that which is
against nature.
27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural
function of the woman, burned in their lust toward one another, men doing what
is inappropriate with men, and receiving in themselves the due penalty of their
error.
28 Even as they refused to have ELOHIM in their
knowledge, ELOHIM gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do those things which
are not fitting;
29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual
immorality, wickedness, covetousness, malice; full of envy, murder, strife,
deceit, evil habits, secret slanderers,
30 backbiters, hateful to ELOHIM, insolent,
haughty, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 without understanding, covenant breakers,
without natural affection, unforgiving, unmerciful;
32 who, knowing the ordinance of ELOHIM, that
those who practice such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but
also approve of those who practice them.
