1
Thou shalt not see the ox of thy brother 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, which he hath lost and thou hast found, shalt thou do likewise; thou mayest not hide thyself.
4
Thou shalt not see the ass of thy brother 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 pertainetha unto a man; neither shall a man put on the garment of a woman; for this thing is detestableb before YHVH, thy Elohim.
6
¶ If the nest of a bird should 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 hen with the young;
7
But thou shalt in any wise let the mother 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 construct a railing 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 diversa 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 garmenta of divers sorts, as of woolen and linen together.
12
¶ Thou shalt make thee tzitzitsa upon the four quarters of thy clothing wherewith thou coverest thyself.
13
¶ If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate her, 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 unfaithfula,
14
Then shall the father of the damsel and her mother take and bring forth the tokens of the virginity of that woman unto the Elders of the city in the gate;
15
And the father of the woman shall say unto the Elders: I gave my daughter unto this man to wife, and he hateth her;
16
And behold, he hath given occasions of speech against her, saying: I found not thy daughter unfaithful; and yet these are the tokens of the faithfulness of my daughter.
17
And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city, and the elders of that city shall take that man and chastise him;
18
And they shall amerce him in a hundred shekels of silver and give them unto the father of the damsel because he hath brought up an evil name upon a young woman of Israel; and she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days.
19
But if this thing be true and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel, then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of house of her father;
20
And the men of her city shall cast her outa from among them, because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the harlot in the house of her father; so shalt thou put evil away from among you.
21
¶ If a man be found lying with a woman married to a husband, then they shall both of them be cast outa, both the man that lay with the woman and the woman; so shalt thou put away evil from Israel.
22
¶ If a young woman be betrothed unto a husband, and a man find her in the city and lie with her, and she be willing,
23
Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall cast them outa from among you; so thou shalt put away evil from among you.
24
But if a man should force her and lie with her, then the man that lay with her shall die;
25
And unto the young woman, thou shalt do nothing; there is in the young woman no sin, and she be a virgina; for as when a man riseth againstb his neighbor and slayeth him, even so is this matter;
26
For he found her; and the betrothed damsel cried, and there was none to save her.
27
¶ And if a man find a woman that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her and lie with her, and she be willing,
28
Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the father of that young woman fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife because he hath lain with her; he may not put her away all his days.
29
¶ A man shall not take the wife of his father to marry, for this would dishonor their marriage bed.
