{to guarantee the loan},
you

it
is his raiment for his skin.
In what else shall he sleep?
And
it shall come to pass,
when
he cries unto Me,
that
I will hear;
for
I am gracious.
28
You shall not keep on making despicable
the
gods/'elohiym,
nor
curse the ruler of your people.

29
You shall not delay to offer the first of your ripe fruits,
and
of your liquors . . .
the
firstborn of your sons shall you give unto Me.

and
with your sheep.
Seven
days it shall be with his dam;
on
the eighth day you shall give it Me.
31 And you shall be holy men unto Me.
Neither
shall you eat any flesh
that
is torn of animal/beasts in the field;
you
shall cast it to the dogs.
