Exodus 22:24

²⁴כד אם כסף תלוה את עמי את העני עמך--לא תהיה לו כנשה לא תשימון עליו נשך

Exodus 22 continues the detailed presentation of Israel's civil and social laws, building upon the Ten Commandments. This chapter primarily addresses restitution for theft, property damage, and personal injury, emphasizing the principle of 'eye for an eye' in a restorative rather than purely punitive sense. It also includes laws concerning sexual offenses, sorcery, oppression of the vulnerable, and proper conduct towards God and authorities, revealing God's deep concern for justice, social order, and the protection of the marginalized within His covenant community. The chapter underscores the holiness required of God's people in all aspects of life.
