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 L
ORD
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;
