Exodus 21-23 Pt. 2 Exodus 21:1 (ESV) Now these are the rules that you shall set before them. Romans 7:12 (ESV) So the law is holy, and the commandment [a synonym for “judgement”] is holy and righteous and good. Leviticus 19:36 (ESV) You shall have just balances, just weights, a just ephah [dry volume of 22 liters or 3/5 bushel], and a just hin [wet volume of 3.5 litres or 4 quarts]: I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt. Exodus 21:34 (ESV) the owner of the pit shall make restoration. He shall give money to its owner, and the dead beast shall be his. Exodus 21:36 (ESV) Or if it is known that the ox has been accustomed to gore in the past, and its owner has not kept it in, he shall repay ox for ox, and the dead beast shall be his. Exodus 22:1 (ESV) “If a man steals an ox or a sheep, and kills it or sells it, he shall repay five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep. Exodus 22:3–7 (ESV) but if the sun has risen on him, there shall be bloodguilt for him. He shall surely pay. If he has nothing, then he 4 shall be sold for his theft. If the stolen beast is found alive in his possession, whether it is an ox or a donkey or a sheep, he shall 5 pay double. “If a man causes a field or vineyard to be grazed over, or lets his beast loose and it feeds in another man’s field, he shall make restitution from the best in his own field and in his 6 own vineyard. “If fire breaks out and catches in thorns so that the stacked grain or the standing grain or the field is consumed, he 7 who started the fire shall make full restitution. “If a man gives to his neighbor money or goods to keep safe, and it is stolen from the man’s house, then, if the thief is found, he shall pay double. Exodus 22:9 (ESV) For every breach of trust, whether it is for an ox, for a donkey, for a sheep, for a cloak, or for any kind of lost thing, of which one says, ‘This is it,’ the case of both parties shall come before God. The one whom God condemns shall pay double to his neighbor. Exodus 22:11–15 (ESV) an oath by the Lord shall be between them both to see whether or not he has put his hand to his neighbor’s property. The owner shall accept the 12 oath, and he shall not make restitution. But if it is stolen 13 from him, he shall make restitution to its owner. If it is torn by beasts, let him bring it as evidence. He shall not 14 make restitution for what has been torn. “If a man borrows anything of his neighbor, and it is injured or dies, the owner not being with it, he shall make full restitution. 15If the owner was with it, he shall not make restitution; if it was hired, it came for its hiring fee. Deuteronomy 24:13 (ESV) You shall restore to him the pledge as the sun sets, that he may sleep in his cloak and bless you. And it shall be righteousness for you before the LORD your God. Isaiah 32:16–18 (ESV) Then justice will dwell in the wilderness, and 17 righteousness abide in the fruitful field. And the effect of righteousness will be peace, and the result of righteousness, quietness and trust 18 forever. My people will abide in a peaceful habitation, in secure dwellings, and in quiet resting places. Psalm 33:5 (ESV) He loves righteousness and justice [i.e.,judgements ‫ָט‬#ְ%ִ‫ מ‬of Exodus 21:1]; the earth is full of the steadfast love of the LORD. Jeremiah 9:24 (ESV) but let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the LORD who practices [lit. does] steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth. For in these things I delight, declares the LORD.” Hebrews 1:8–9 (ESV) But of the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever, the scepter of uprightness is the 9 scepter of your kingdom. You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness beyond your companions.” from Psalm 45:6–7 Psalm 11:7 (ESV) For the LORD is righteous; he loves righteous deeds; the upright shall behold his face. James 3:5–6 (ESV) So also the tongue is a small member, yet it boasts of great things. How great a forest is set ablaze by 6 such a small fire! And the tongue is a fire, a world of unrighteousness. The tongue is set among our members, staining the whole body, setting on fire the entire course of life, and set on fire by hell. Romans 3:10 (ESV) as it is written: “None is righteous, no, not one; Titus 3:5 (ESV) he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, 1 Peter 3:18 (ESV) For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit, 1 Peter 2:24 (ESV) He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. Ephesians 4:24 (ESV) and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness. Philippians 1:11 (ESV) filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God. Romans 6:19 (ESV) I am speaking in human terms, because of your natural limitations. For just as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification. Hebrews 1:9 (ESV) You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness beyond your companions.” 2 Timothy 2:22 (ESV) So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart. 1 John 3:10 (ESV) By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is the one who does not love his brother. 1 Corinthians 6:9–10 (ESV) Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who 10 practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. Isaiah 9:6-7 (ESV) For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end, on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time forth and forevermore. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will do this.
