Exodus 21
Yahweh still speaking :
Laws Concerning the Treatment of Slaves : setting slaves free/bond servants
I hereby declare my love for my master, my wife, and my children. I don’t want to leave as a free man,’ then his master must bring him to Elohim. The master must bring him to the door or the doorframe and pierce his ear with an awl. Then he will be his slave for life.
Laws Concerning Injury to People: cities of refuge
Whoever strikes someone and kills him must be put to death. If it wasn’t done intentionally, but Elohim let it happen, the killer should flee to a place I will set aside for you
Laws Concerning Property

Exodus 22
Yahweh speaking about theft
If the thief is not caught, the owner of the house must be brought to Elohim to find out whether or not he took his neighbor’s valuables.  If there is a dispute over the ownership of a bull, a donkey, a sheep, an article of clothing, or any other lost property which two people claim as their own, both people must bring their case to Elohim. The one whom Elohim declares guilty must make up for his neighbor’s loss with double the amount.
The case between them must be settled by swearing an oath to Yahweh that the neighbor did not take the other person’s animal. The owner must accept the oath
Laws for Living as God’s Holy People
“Whoever sacrifices to any god except Yahweh must be condemned and destroyed.
“Never show disrespect for Elohim or curse a leader of your people.

There is much more in these chapters. …just trying to relay Yahweh speaking of Elohim.   Yahweh does the talking all the way to chapter 24, where He talks of the blood.
