22 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.
