lesserot@Deuteronomy:21:1 @ If there be found a slain person in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee to possess it, lying in the field, it be not known who hath slain him:

lesserot@Deuteronomy:21:2 @ Then shall thy elders and thy judges go forth, and they shall measure unto the cities which are round about the one that is slain.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:21:3 @ And it shall be, that the city which is the nearest unto the slain person, even the elders of that city shall take a heifer, which hath not been wrought with, which hath not drawn in a yoke;

lesserot@Deuteronomy:21:4 @ And the elders of that city shall bring down the heifer unto a rough valley, which is neither tilled nor sown, and they shall break there the neck of the heifer in the valley;

lesserot@Deuteronomy:21:11 @ And thou seest among the captives a woman of handsome form, and hast a desire unto her, that thou wouldst take her to thee for wife:

lesserot@Deuteronomy:21:13 @ And she shall put off the raiment of her captivity from her, and she shall remain in thy house, and weep for her father and her mother a full month; and after that thou mayest go in unto her, and be her husband, that she may become thy wife.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:21:14 @ And it shall be, if thou have no delight in her, then shalt thou let her go whither she will; but thou shalt nowise sell her for money; thou shalt not make a servant of her, because thou hast humbled her.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:21:15 @ If a man have two wives, one beloved, and the other hated, and they bear him children, both the beloved and the hated; so that the firstborn son be hers that is hated:

lesserot@Deuteronomy:21:16 @ Then shall it be, when he divideth as inheritance among his sons what he hath, that he shall not institute the son of the beloved as the firstborn before the son of the hated, the firstborn;

lesserot@Deuteronomy:21:17 @ But the firstborn, the son of the hated woman, shall he acknowledge, to give him a double portion of all that is found in his possession; for he is the beginning of his strength; to him belongeth the right of the first birth.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:21:22 @ And if a man have committed a sin for which there is a punishment of death, and he be to be put to death, and thou hang him on a tree:

lesserot@Deuteronomy:21:23 @ Then shall his body not remain all night on the tree, but thou shalt surely bury him on that day; and thou shalt not defile thy land, which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:22:1 @ Thou shalt not see thy brothers ox or his lamb go astray, and withdraw thyself from them: thou shalt surely bring them back again unto thy brother.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:22:2 @ But if thy brother be not nigh unto thee, or thou know him not: then shalt thou take it unto thy own house, and it shall remain with thee until thy brother inquire after it, and then shalt thou restore it to him.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:22:3 @ In like manner shalt thou do with his ass; and in like manner shalt thou do with his raiment; and in like manner shalt thou do with every lost thing of thy brothers, which may have been lost to him, and which thou hast found; thou art not at liberty to withdraw thyself.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:22:13 @ If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate her,

lesserot@Deuteronomy:22:14 @ And he lay an accusation against her, and spread abroad an evil name upon her, and say, This woman I took, and when I came near to her, I found no tokens of virginity in her:

lesserot@Deuteronomy:22:15 @ Then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth the tokens of the damsels virginity unto the elders of the city, to the gate.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:22:16 @ And the father of the damsel shall say unto the elders, My daughter I gave unto this man for wife; but he hath conceived hatred toward her;

lesserot@Deuteronomy:22:17 @ And, lo, he hath laid an accusation, saying, I have found no tokens of virginity in thy daughter; and yet these are the tokens of my daughters virginity; and they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:22:18 @ And the elders of that city shall take that man and chastise him;

lesserot@Deuteronomy:22:19 @ And they shall amerce him in a hundred shekels of silver, and give them unto the father of the damsel; because he hath spread abroad an evil name upon a virgin of Israel; and she shall remain his wife; he shall not be at liberty to put her away all his days.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:22:20 @ But if this thing was true, there have not been found tokens of virginity in the damsel:

lesserot@Deuteronomy:22:21 @ Then shall they lead out the damsel to the door of her fathers house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die; because she hath wrought a disgraceful deed in Israel, to commit incest in her fathers house; and thou shalt put away the evil from the midst of thee.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:22:22 @ If a man be found lying with a woman married to a husband: then shall both of them die, the man that lieth with the woman, and the woman; and thou shalt put away the evil from Israel.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:22:23 @ If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto a man, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her:

lesserot@Deuteronomy:22:24 @ Then shall ye lead 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 in the city; and the man, because he hath done violence to his neighbors wife; and thou shalt put away the evil from the midst of thee.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:22:25 @ But if in the field the man should find the betrothed damsel, and the man take hold of her by force, and lie with her: then shall the man that lay with her die alone;

lesserot@Deuteronomy:22:26 @ But unto the damsel shalt thou not do any thing; there is in the damsel no sin worthy of death; for as when a man riseth against his neighbor, and striketh him dead. even so is this matter;

lesserot@Deuteronomy:22:27 @ For in the field did he find her; had the betrothed damsel even cried, there would have been none to aid her.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:22:28 @ If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, who is not betrothed, and lay fast hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found:

lesserot@Deuteronomy:24:3 @ And the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her away out of his house; or if the latter husband, who took her as his wife, should die:

lesserot@Deuteronomy:24:4 @ Then shall her former husband, who had sent her away, not be at liberty to take her again to be his wife, after she hath been defiled; for it is abomination before the Lord; and thou shalt not bring sin upon the land, which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:24:5 @ When a man hath taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall he be charged with any public business: he shall be free for his house one year, and shall cheer up his wife whom he hath taken.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:24:10 @ When thou dost lend thy brother any thing as a loan, thou shalt not go into his house to take his pledge.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:24:11 @ In the street shalt thou stand, and the man to whom thou dost lend shall bring out unto thee the pledge into the street.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:24:12 @ And if he be a poor man, thou shalt not lie down with his pledge:

lesserot@Deuteronomy:24:13 @ Thou shalt punctually deliver him the pledge again when the sun goeth down, that he may lie under his own cover, and bless thee; and unto thee shall it be as righteousness before the Lord thy God.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:24:14 @ Thou shalt not withhold the wages of a hired man, of the poor and needy, of thy brethren, or of the strangers that are in thy land within thy gates.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:24:15 @ On the same day shalt thou give him his wages, that the sun may not go down upon it; for he is poor, and his soul longeth for it; so that he may not cry against thee unto the Lord, and it be sin in thee.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:24:16 @ Fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall children be put to death for the fathers: for his own sin shall every man be put to death.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:24:17 @ Thou shalt not pervert the cause of the stranger, or of the fatherless; and thou shalt not take in pledge the raiment of a widow;

lesserot@Deuteronomy:24:18 @ But thou shalt remember that thou waste a bondman in Egypt, and that the Lord thy God redeemed thee thence; therefore do I command thee to do this thing.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:24:19 @ When thou cuttest down thy harvest in thy field, and forgettest a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go back to fetch it; for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow shall it be; in order that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the work of thy hands.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:24:22 @ And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt; therefore do I command thee to do this thing:

lesserot@Deuteronomy:25:1 @ If there be a controversy between men, and they come nigh unto a court of justice, and they judge them; and they justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked:

lesserot@Deuteronomy:25:2 @ Then shall it be, if the guilty man deserve to be beaten, that the judge shall cause him to lie down, and to be beaten before his face, according to the degree of his fault, by a number.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:25:11 @ When men strive together one with the other, and the wife of the one draweth near to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the secrets:

lesserot@Deuteronomy:25:18 @ How he met thee by the way, and smote the hindmost of thee, all that were feeble behind thee, when thou was faint and weary; and he feared not God.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:25:19 @ And it shall come to pass, when the Lord thy God giveth thee rest from all thy enemies round about, in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it, that thou shalt blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under the heavens: thou shalt not forget.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:26:1 @ And it shall come to pass, when thou art come in unto the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and thou hast taken possession of it, and dwellest therein:

lesserot@Deuteronomy:26:2 @ That thou shalt take of the first of all the fruit of the soil, which thou shalt bring in from thy land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, and shalt put it in a basket; and thou shalt go unto the place which the Lord thy God will choose to let his name dwell there.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:26:3 @ And thou shalt come unto the priest that may be in those days, and thou shalt say unto him, I give thanks this day unto the Lord thy God, that I am come into the land which the Lord swore unto our fathers to give to us.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:26:4 @ And the priest shall take the basket out of thy hand, and set it down before the altar of the Lord thy God.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:26:5 @ And thou shalt commence and say before the Lord thy God, A Syrian, wandering about, was my father, and he went down into Egypt, and sojourned there with a family few in number, and he became there a nation, great, mighty, and numerous.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:26:6 @ And the Egyptians treated us ill, and afflicted us, and laid upon us hard labor;

lesserot@Deuteronomy:26:7 @ And then we cried unto the Eternal, the God of our fathers; and the Lord heard our voice, and looked on our affliction, and our trouble, and our oppression;

lesserot@Deuteronomy:26:8 @ And the Lord brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terror, and with signs, and with wonders;

lesserot@Deuteronomy:26:9 @ And he brought us unto this place, and gave unto us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:26:10 @ And now, behold, I have brought the first of the fruits of the soil, which thou hast given me, O Lord; and thou shalt set it down before the Lord thy God, and prostrate thyself before the Lord thy God;

lesserot@Deuteronomy:26:11 @ And thou shalt rejoice with every good thing which the Lord thy God hath given unto thee, and unto thy house, thou, with the Levite, and the stranger that is in the midst of thee.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:26:12 @ When thou hast made an end of giving away all the tithe of thy produce in the third year, the year of the tithing, and hast given it unto the Levite, to the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, and they have eaten it within thy gates, and are satisfied:

lesserot@Deuteronomy:26:13 @ Then shalt thou say before the Lord thy God, I have removed away the hallowed things out of the house, and I have also given them unto the Levite, and unto the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all thy commandment which thou hast commanded me; I have not deviated from thy commandments, and I have not forgotten;

lesserot@Deuteronomy:26:14 @ I have not eaten thereof in my mourning, neither have I removed away aught thereof in an unclean state, nor have I given aught thereof for the dead: I have hearkened to the voice of the Lord my God, I have done all, just as thou hast commanded me.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:26:15 @ Look down from the habitation of thy holiness, from the heavens, and bless thy people Israel, and the soil which thou hast given unto us, as thou hast sworn unto our fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:26:19 @ So that he may set thee highest above all nations that he hath made, in praise, and in name, and in honor; and that thou mayest be a holy people unto the Lord thy God, as he hath spoken.
