-
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.
02 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.
03 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.
04 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.
05 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.
06 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:
07 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.
08 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.
09 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.
