Moral and Ceremonial Principles
16 n“If a man entices a virgin who is not betrothed, and lies with her, he shall surely pay the bride-price for her to be his wife. 17 If her father utterly refuses to give her to him, he shall pay money according to the obride-price of virgins.
18 p“You shall not permit a sorceress to live.
19 q“Whoever lies with an animal shall surely be put to death.
20 r“He who sacrifices to any god, except to the Lord only, he shall be utterly destroyed.
21 s“You shall neither mistreat a 2stranger nor oppress him, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.
22 t“You shall not afflict any widow or fatherless child. 23 If you afflict them in any way, and they ucry at all to Me, I will surely vhear their cry; 24 and My wwrath will become hot, and I will kill you with the sword; xyour wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.
25 y“If you lend money to any of My people who are poor among you, you shall not be like a moneylender to him; you shall not charge him zinterest. 26 aIf you ever take your neighbor’s garment as a pledge, you shall return it to him before the sun goes down. 27 For that is his only covering, it is his garment for his skin.

About The New King James VersionThe New King James Version is a total update of the 1611 King James Version, also known as the "Authorized Version." Every attempt has been made to maintain the beauty of the original version while updating the English grammar to contemporary style and usage. The result is much better "readability." It is noteworthy that the NKJV is one of the few modern translations still based on the "Western" or "Byzantine" manuscript tradition. This makes the New King James Version an invaluable aid to comparative English Bible study. |
