THOU
shalt not see the 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 things 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.
