1 Thou shalt not see thy brother's ox or his sheep go astray,
and hide thyself from them: thou shalt in any case bring them again unto thy
brother.
2 And
if thy brother be not nigh unto thee, or if thou know
him not, then thou shalt bring it unto thine own house, and it shall be with
thee until thy brother seek after it, and thou shalt restore it to him again.
3 In
like manner shalt thou do with his ass; and so shalt thou do with his raiment;
and with all lost thing of thy brother's, which he hath lost, and thou hast found,
shalt thou do likewise: thou mayest not hide thyself.
4 Thou
shalt not see thy brother's ass or his ox fall down by the way, and hide
thyself from them: thou shalt surely help him to lift them up
again.
5 The
woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put
on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.
6 If
a bird's nest chance to be before thee in the way in any tree, or on the
ground, whether they be young
ones, or eggs, and the dam sitting upon the young, or upon the eggs, thou shalt
not take the dam with the young:
7 But thou shalt in any wise let the dam go,
and take the young to thee; that it may be well with thee, and that thou
mayest prolong thy days.
8 When
thou buildest a new house, then thou shalt make a battlement for thy roof, that
thou bring not blood upon thine house, if any man fall from thence.
9 Thou
shalt not sow thy vineyard with divers seeds: lest the fruit of thy seed which
thou hast sown, and the fruit of thy vineyard, be defiled.
10 Thou
shalt not plow with an ox and an ass together.
11 Thou
shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts, as of woollen and linen together.
12 Thou
shalt make thee fringes upon the four quarters of thy vesture, wherewith thou
coverest thyself.
13 If
any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate her,
14 And
give occasions of speech against her, and bring up an evil name upon her, and
say, I took this woman, and when I came to her, I found her not a maid:
15 Then
shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth the tokens of the
damsel's virginity unto the elders of the city in the gate:
16 And
the damsel's father shall say unto the elders, I gave my daughter unto this man
to wife, and he hateth her;
17 And,
lo, he hath given occasions of speech against her, saying, I found not
thy daughter a maid; and yet these are the tokens of my daughter's virginity. And they
shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city.
18 And
the elders of that city shall take that man and chastise him;
19 And
they shall amerce him in an hundred shekels of silver, and give them unto
the father of the damsel, because he hath brought up an evil name upon a virgin
of Israel: and she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days.
20 But
if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel:
21 Then
they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father's house, and the men
of her city shall stone her with stones that she die: because she hath wrought
folly in Israel, to play the whore in her father's house: so shalt thou put
evil away from among you.
22 If
a man be found lying with a woman married to an husband, then they shall both
of them die, both the
man that lay with the woman, and the woman: so shalt thou put away evil from
Israel.
23 If
a damsel that is a
virgin be betrothed unto an husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie
with her;
24 Then
ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone
them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, being in
the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbour's wife: so thou
shalt put away evil from among you.
25 But
if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man force her, and lie
with her: then the man only that lay with her shall die:
26 But
unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing; there is in the damsel no sin worthy of
death: for as when a man riseth against his neighbour, and slayeth him, even so is this
matter:
27 For
he found her in the field, and the betrothed damsel cried, and there was none
to save her.
28 If
a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and
lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;
29 Then
the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of
silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put
her away all his days.
30 A
man shall not take his father's wife, nor discover his father's skirt.
