  Hello friends. It is shown here and you have
• 0:16
  tapped on play. And here we are to read another
• 0:19
  chapter of the Bible together so good that you could do that.
• 0:23
  Because today we continue on this journey of how to form a
• 0:27
  country. This is National In 101 as God
• 0:32
  explains to the people of Israel.
• 0:34
  Well what it's like to have property that they get to keep.
• 0:39
  You know all those Generations stuck in Egypt as slaves where
• 0:43
  they really had no rights and now all of a sudden they have
• 0:46
  freedom and they have rights and to make sure that they don't
• 0:50
  head down a way of while selfishness and Gathering as
• 0:53
  much for themselves as they can, God sets out a pattern of what
• 0:57
  it looks like to live with an i On those less fortunate and to
• 1:01
  make sure that everyone is looked after this is just so
• 1:06
  cool. So let's read join me.
• 1:08
  As we read together. Exodus chapter 22.
• 1:23
  If someone steals an ox or sheep and in kills, or sells it, the
• 1:27
  thief must pay back, five oxen for each Ox stolen, and for
• 1:32
  sheep for each sheep stolen, if a thief is caught in the act of
• 1:36
  breaking into a house and is struck and killed in the
• 1:39
  process, the person who killed the thief is not guilty of
• 1:43
  murder, but if it happens in daylight, the one who killed the
• 1:47
  thief is guilty of murder. A thief who is caught must pay
• 1:52
  in full for everything, he stole.
• 1:54
  If he cannot pay, he must be sold as a slave to pay for his
• 1:58
  theft. If someone steals an ox or a
• 2:01
  donkey or a sheep, and it is found in the fixed position,
• 2:05
  then the thief must pay double the value of the stolen animal.
• 2:10
  If an animal is grazing in a field or Vineyard and the owner,
• 2:13
  let's it stray into someone else's field to graze, then the
• 2:17
  animals owner must pay compensation From the best of
• 2:21
  his own grain or grapes, if you are burning Thorn bushes and the
• 2:25
  Fire gets out of control and spreads into another person's
• 2:28
  field. Destroying the sheaves or the
• 2:31
  uncut grain or the whole crop. The one who started the fire
• 2:35
  must pay for the Lost crop. Suppose someone leaves money or
• 2:40
  Goods with the neighbor for safekeeping, but they are stolen
• 2:43
  from the neighbor's house. If the thief is caught, the
• 2:47
  compensation is double the value of what was stolen.
• 2:50
  But if the thief is not caught, the neighbor must appear before
• 2:54
  God who will determine if he stole the property.
• 2:58
  Suppose there is a dispute between two people who both
• 3:01
  claim to own a particular, Ox donkey sheep, article of
• 3:05
  clothing or any Lost Property. Both parties must come before
• 3:09
  God. And the person whom God,
• 3:12
  declares guilty, must pay double compensation to the other hand.
• 3:17
  Suppose someone leaves a donkey Ox sheep, or any other animal
• 3:21
  with a neighbor for safekeeping, but it dies or is injured or is
• 3:25
  taken away. And no one sees what happened.
• 3:29
  The neighbor must then take an oath in the presence of the
• 3:31
  Lord, if the Lord, confirms that the neighbor did not steal the
• 3:35
  property. The owner must accept the
• 3:37
  verdict and no payment will be required, but if the animal was
• 3:42
  indeed, stolen the guilty person, must pay compensation to
• 3:46
  the owner. If it was Torn to Pieces by a
• 3:49
  wild animal, the remains of the carcass must be shown as
• 3:53
  evidence, and no compensation will be required.
• 3:56
  If someone borrows an animal from a neighbor, and in his
• 3:59
  injured or dies, when the owner is absent, the person who
• 4:02
  borrowed it must pay full compensation, but if the owner
• 4:06
  was present, no compensation is required.
• 4:10
  And no compensation is required. If the animal was rented for the
• 4:13
  losses covered by the rental fee, if a man seduces a virgin
• 4:19
  who is not engaged to anyone and has sex with her, he must pay
• 4:23
  the customary bride price and marry her, but if her father
• 4:28
  refuses to let him marry her, the man may still pay him an
• 4:32
  amount equal to the bride. Price of a virgin, you must not
• 4:36
  allow a sorceress to live anyone who has sexual relations with an
• 4:41
  animal must certainly be put to death.
• 4:44
  Anyone who sacrifices to any God, other than the Lord must be
• 4:48
  destroyed. You must not mistreat or oppress
• 4:52
  foreigners in any way. Remember you yourselves were
• 4:55
  once foreigners in the land of Egypt, you must not exploit a
• 4:59
  widow or an orphan if you exploit them in any way and then
• 5:03
  cry out to me, then I will certainly hear their cry.
• 5:08
  My anger will Blaze against you and I will kill you with the
• 5:11
  sword, then your wives will be Widows and your children
• 5:15
  fatherless. If you lend money to any of my
• 5:19
  people who are in need, do not charge interest as a money
• 5:23
  lender. Would, if you take your
• 5:25
  neighbors, cloak as security for a loan, you must return a Before
• 5:29
  Sunset. This coat may be the only
• 5:32
  blanket, your neighbor has, how can a person sleep without it,
• 5:37
  if you do not return it and your neighbor cries out to me for
• 5:39
  help, then I will hear for I am merciful Do not dishonor.
• 5:45
  God or curse, any of your rulers.
• 5:49
  You must not hold anything back. When you give me offerings from
• 5:52
  your crops and your wine, you must give me your firstborn
• 5:56
  Sons. You must also give me the
• 5:59
  firstborn of your cattle sheep and goats but leave the newborn
• 6:03
  animal with its mother for seven days and then give it to me on
• 6:06
  the eighth day. You must be my holy people.
• 6:11
  Therefore do not eat any animal that has been torn up and killed
• 6:15
  by wild animals, throw it to the dogs.
• 6:29
  How father we see your heart implicit in these instructions,
• 6:34
  we see that you want the best for your people.
• 6:39
  You want us to live as communities who care for one
• 6:41
  another. Not that all of these rules.
• 6:44
  Still bind us to do with oxygen sheep and donkeys.
• 6:48
  But we're here the way that you want your people to relate to
• 6:51
  each other, with honesty and kindness, and fairness and
• 6:55
  Justice, looking out for those. Who are struggling themselves?
• 7:02
  Lord change our hearts to be like yours, soften our
• 7:06
  self-interest, so that we can look beyond our own needs to the
• 7:10
  needs of our community and to the needs of each other.
• 7:14
  And thank you that you saw our need and you gave us Jesus.
• 7:18
  Who met all of our needs now and deep into eternity?
• 7:23
  And we are so grateful, thank you for Jesus.
• 7:26
  And it's in his name that we pray.
• 7:29
  Amen.
