Deuteronomy:22
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Thou shall not see thy brother '
s ox or his sheep go astray ,
and hide thyself from them .
Thou shall surely bring them again to thy brother .
*
And if thy brother be not near to thee ,
or if thou do not know him ,
then thou shall bring it home to thy house ,
and it shall be with thee until thy brother seeks after it ,
and thou shall restore it to him .
*
And so shall thou do with his donkey ,
and so shall thou do with his garment ,
and so shall thou do with every lost thing of thy brother '
s ,
which he has lost ,
and thou have found .
Thou may not hide thyself .
*
Thou shall not see thy brother '
s donkey or his ox fallen down by the way ,
and hide thyself from them .
Thou shall surely help him to lift them up again .
*
A woman shall not wear that which pertains to a man ,
neither shall a man put on a woman '
s garment ,
for whoever does these things is an abomination to LORD thy God .
*
If a bird '
s nest chance to be before thee in the way ,
in any tree or on the ground ,
with young ones or eggs ,
and the dam sitting upon the young or upon the eggs ,
thou shall not take the dam with the young .
*
Thou shall surely let the dam go ,
but the young thou may take to thyself ,
that it may be well with thee ,
and that thou may prolong thy days .
*
When thou build a new house ,
then thou shall make a guard rail for thy roof ,
that thou not bring blood upon thy house ,
if any man falls from there .
*
Thou shall not sow thy vineyard with two kinds of seed ,
lest the whole fruit be forfeited :
the seed which thou have sown ,
and the increase of the vineyard .
*
Thou shall not plow with an ox and a donkey together .
*
Thou shall not wear a mingled stuff ,
wool and linen together .
*
Thou shall make for thee fringes upon the four borders of thy clothing ,
with which thou cover thyself .
*
If any man takes a wife ,
and goes in to her ,
and dislikes her ,
*
and charges her with shameful things ,
and brings up an evil name upon her ,
and says ,
I took this woman ,
and when I came near to her ,
I did not find in her the tokens of virginity ,
*
then the father of the damsel ,
and her mother ,
shall take and bring forth the tokens of the damsel '
s virginity to the elders of the city in the gate .
*
And the damsel '
s father shall say to the elders ,
I gave my daughter to this man to wife ,
and he dislikes her .
*
And ,
lo ,
he has charged her with shameful things ,
saying ,
I did not find in thy daughter the tokens of virginity ,
and yet these are the tokens of my daughter '
s virginity .
And they shall spread the garment before the elders of the c
*
And the elders of that city shall take the man and chastise him ,
*
and they shall fine him a hundred [
shekels ]
of silver ,
and give them to the father of the damsel ,
because he has 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 .
*
But if this thing be true ,
that the tokens of virginity were not found in the damsel ,
*
then they shall bring the damsel out to the door of her father '
s house ,
and the men of her city shall stone her to death with stones ,
because she has wrought folly in Israel ,
to play the harlot in her father '
s house .
So shall thou
*
If a man be found laying with a woman married to a husband ,
then they shall both of them die ,
the man that lay with the woman ,
and the woman .
So shall thou put away the evil from Israel .
*
If there be a damsel who is a virgin betrothed to a husband ,
and a man finds her in the city ,
and lays with her ,
*
then ye shall bring them both out to the gate of that city .
And ye shall stone them to death with stones ,
the damsel ,
because she did not cry out ,
being in the city ,
and the man ,
because he has humbled his neighbor '
s wife .
So thou
*
But if the man finds the damsel who is betrothed in the field ,
and the man forces her ,
and lays with her ,
then only the man who lay with her shall die ,
*
but to the damsel thou shall do nothing .
There is in the damsel no sin worthy of death .
For as when a man rises against his neighbor ,
and kills him ,
even so is this matter ,
*
for he found her in the field ,
the betrothed damsel cried out ,
and there was none to save her .
*
If a man finds a damsel who is a virgin ,
who is not betrothed ,
and lays hold on her ,
and lays with her ,
and they be found ,
*
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 humbled her .
He may not put her away all his days .
*
A man shall not take his father '
s wife ,
and shall not uncover his father '
s skirt .
