Laws About Holiness

Exodus 22:16-31
16And if a man entices a virgin who has not been betrothed and lies down with her, he shall surely pay the brideprice for her to be his wife. 17If her father refuses to give her to him, he shall weigh out silver as the brideprice of the virgins. 18You shall not permit a sorceress to live. 19Whoever lies down with an animal shall surely be put to death. 20Whoever sacrifices to God shall be devoted to destruction, except to the LORD alone. 21You shall not oppress a sojourner, and you shall not oppress him, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt. 22You shall not afflict any widow or orphan. 23If you afflict him and he cries out to me, I will surely hear his cry. 24My anger will burn, and I will kill you with the sword, and your wives shall become widows and your sons orphans. 25If you lend silver to my people, to the afflicted who are with you, you shall not be to him as a creditor; you shall not impose interest on him. 26If you take your neighbor's garment as a pledge, you shall return it to him by sunset. 27For it alone is his covering; it is his mantle upon his skin. In what shall he lie down? And if he cries out to me, I will hear, for I am gracious. 28You shall not curse God, and you shall not curse a leader among your people. 29You shall not delay your fruit or your juice; you shall give me the firstborn of your sons. 30You shall do the same with your cattle and your flock: it shall remain with its mother seven days, and on the eighth day you shall give it to me. 31You shall be holy men to me; you shall not eat flesh torn by animals in the field, but you shall throw it to the dogs.
