1
Thou shalt not see the ox or the sheep◦ of thy brother wandering, and hide◦ thyself from them; returning thou shalt return them to thy brother .
2
And if thy brother be not near to thee, or if thou know him not, then thou shalt gather it to thine own house , and it shall be with thee until thy brother inquire after it, and thou shalt return it to him.
3
And thus◦ shalt thou do for his donkey ; and thus shalt thou do for his raiment ; and thus shalt thou do for every lost thing of thy brother which has been lost by him, and thou hast found ; thou mayest not hide◦ them for thyself.
4
Thou shalt not see the donkey of thy brother or his ox fall on◦ the way , and hide◦ thyself from them; raising··up with him thou shalt raise· them ·up.
5
The garment* of a man▫ shall not be on a woman , neither shall a man▫ be··clothed with the raiment of a woman ; for all who do these things are an abomination to Jehovah thy God .
6
If a nest of a bird happen to be before thee in the way , in any tree , or on the earth , whether they be hatchlings or eggs, and the mother is brooding◦ on the hatchlings, or on the eggs, thou shalt not take the mother on the young◦;
7
But Sending thou shalt send away the mother bird, and take the young◦ to thee; that it may be··well for thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days .
8
When◦ thou buildest a new house , then thou shalt make a railing for thy roof , that thou set not bloods* on◦ thy house , for falling someone might fall from it.
9
Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with two··types of seeds; lest the fullness of the seed which thou hast sown, and the increase of the vineyard , be made··holy*.
10
Thou shalt not plow with an ox and an donkey together.
11
Thou shalt not be··clothed with mixed··cloth, as wool and linen ◦ together.
12
Thou shalt make for thee tassels on the four wings of thy covering , with which thou coverest thyself.
13
If any man ◦ take a wife , and go ··in to her, and hate her,
14
and set abuses against her with words , and bring··forth upon her an evil name , and say , I took this woman , and I came··near to her, and I found not virginity with her;
15
then the father of the damsel , and her mother , shall take and bring··out the raiment of the virginity of the damsel to the elders of the city at the gate ;
16
and the father of the damsel shall say to▵ the elders , I gave my daughter to this man ◦ for a wife , and he hates her;
17
and, behold, he has set abuses with words against her, saying, I found not thy daughter with virginity; and these are of the virginity of my daughter. And they shall spread the raiment before the elders of the city .
18
And the elders of that◦ city shall take the man ◦ and chastise him;
19
and they shall fine him a hundred of silver , and give it to the father of the damsel , for he has brought··out an evil name upon a virgin of Israel ; and she shall be for him for a wife ; he is· not ·able to send · her ·out all his days .
20
But if this thing be true, and the raiment of virginity be· not ·found for the damsel ;
21
then they shall bring··out the damsel to the entrance of the house of her father , and the men◦ of her city shall stone ◦ her with stones and she shall die ; for she has done folly in Israel , to commit··harlotry in the house of her father : and thou shalt sweep··away the evil from among thee.
22
If▫ a man ◦ be··found lying with a woman married to a husband , then even the two of them shall die , the man ◦ that lay with the woman , and the woman ; and shalt thou sweep··away the evil from Israel .
23
If a damsel who is a virgin be betrothed to a man ◦, and a man ◦ find her in the city , and lie with her,
24
then you shall bring· the two of them ·out to the gate of that◦ city , and you shall stone ◦ them with stones and they shall die : the damsel , on account of the word she cried not in the city ; and the man ◦, on account of the word that he has afflicted the wife of his companion ; and thou shalt sweep··away the evil from among you.
25
But if a man ◦ find a betrothed damsel in the field , and the man ◦ hold· her ·firmly, and lie with her; then the man ◦ alone who lay with her shall die :
26
but to the damsel thou shalt not do a thing; there is for the damsel no sin worthy of death; for as◦ a man ◦ rises ··up against his companion , and murders his soul, even so in 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 catch··hold of her, and lie with her, and they be··found ;
29
then the man ◦ who lay with her shall give to the damsel ’s father fifty shekels of silver , and she shall be his wife ; because he has afflicted her, he may not send · her ·out all his days .
30
23:1 A man ◦ shall not take the wife of his father ; and shall not uncover the wing of the garment of his father .
