1
And when thou art come unto the land which YHVHa, thy Elohimb, giveth thee, and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell therein, thou shalt not abide in the conversations of the ungodly;
2
The corrupt desires of deceitful lusts; as an olda man unchanged; but shalt be renewed in the spirit of thy heart; that thou be a new person, bornb anew in righteousness and true holiness.
3
Wherefore, thou shall put away all lying: speak everyone truthfully unto their neighbor; let no corrupt communication proceed out of thy mouth;
4
But that which is good, and edifying, and increasing faith ye shall speak; that it may minister grace to the hearers and that ye grieve not YHVH, thy Elohim.
5
Put away thy anger, thy wrath, thy bitterness, and any malice; and be ye kind one to another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, even as YHVH hath forgiveth you, walking together in love.
6
¶ The primary authority over every child is the mother; the authority in any household is the patriarch of the family, the head of the house; to him let all give heed; but the Toraha is over all.
7
And should the patriarch die, his firstborn son is head in his stead;
8
Nevertheless, in the dwelling, he shall not rule over the matriarcha, nor his mother, nor the mother of his brothers; he shall honor them all the days of his life.
9
¶ As it is written, thou shalt honor thy father and thy mother all thy days; thou shalt not depart from them, nor rebel against them;
10
Thou shalt abide with them, except they send thee away with a blessing; that thou mayest build them up, or be established by thine own name.
11
And thou shalt seek to establish thy sons; thou shalt build them up with thee, or part them a portion of thine inheritance, as shall be meet, that they may grow up, and in their honor bring honor to thee.
12
¶ And of the widows, or the little children, or the servants, or any members of thy household, thou shalt provide for them according to their station, and thy possessions.
13
If thou and thy household should do it not, they shall go before the Elders and the judge, and these shall appoint them their portion, as shall be just; but the inheritance shall remain one;
14
Over the inheritance the firstborn shall have the highest portion; and his portion shall be double.
15
And if anyone, having a portion, divideth it among his posterity, he need not to respect the firstborn; they shall do as seemeth them good.
16
But if thy firstborn is not worthy to keep up the dignity of thy household, and thou wilt abase him, and exalt another in his stead, thou shalt bring him before the judges at the judgmentseat of the city, and show what evil he hath done;
17
And if thou clearly show that he is unworthy, and that the other is worthy, the judge shall declare it; and then it shall come to pass that thou shalt abase him, and adopt the other;
18
But if thou hast neglected to instruct him, and to restrain him, then so too shall the judge declare it, and thou shalt not abase him; the sin shall be upon thy head.
19
¶ Thou shalt not sell thy daughter; thou shalt in no case take a price for her in marriage;
20
But thou shalt endow her of raiment, and goods, and flocks, according to thine ability; and thou shalt give her in marriage only to whom she loveth, and who is worthy;
21
Yea, thou shalt not give her to a stranger, nor to anyone that despises the Torah of YHVH, nor to a blasphemera.
22
¶ And everyone may give a portion to their children, a dowry to his wives, and a possession to his servants, while he liveth; and except it is manifestly unjust, the judge shall not change it after their death;
23
As it shall be determined by their last blessing, so shall it be; and if it be made sure before, it shall not be changed.
24
¶ The rulers, yea they who have a great possession for an inheritance, according to their dignity, shall reserve a portion according to his dignity to the firstborn:
25
And to their other sons shall they give portions as common men that they seek not to make rulers of them all.
26
And should a ruler have servants, and they eat not their bread at his table, he shall appoint them their portions, in his inheritance, that they hunger not:
27
And upon his inheritance he shall be as a father to them; but he shall not exact more than a tenth of them, and it shall be as a tithing of all.
