Oh snap! I didn't know that! (Not a Christian)
Bible (King James)/Exodus#chapter 22

That's ok, neither do most "Christians". So many people who identify as Christians only ever 'read' the bible on Sunday's when the preacher tells them to open to a specific chapter and verse, that way they can spin an out of context narrative and get them to believe whatever it is the preacher/pastor/priest wants them to believe.
If more people actually read the bible there would probably be a lot fewer Christians, especially the Old Testament that evangelicals love to quote to justify their bigotry. It's basically one long racist and xenophobic justification for genocide and colonialism, and people are still being brutally murdered over it to this very day.
Edit: a lot of Christian denominations even go so far as to specify exactly which translation of the bible that their members are allowed to buy. In the case of my families church "Apostolic Pentecostals" that would be the "King James Version", a terrible translation that is over 420 years old and written in a language that is basically not spoken any longer. The reason? Most of the people in their congregation were/are barely literate. If they were allowed to use a modern translation they might be able to understand just how twisted the church's narrative actually is.
