* Thou shalt not see thy brother 's ox or his sheep driven away , and hide thyself from them ; thou shalt surely bring them back unto thy brother . * And if thy brother be not nigh unto thee , and thou know him not , then thou shalt bring it home to thy house , and it shall be with thee until thy brother require it , and thou shalt restore it to him . * And so shalt thou do with his ass ; and so shalt thou do with his garment ; and so shalt thou do with every lost thing of thy brother 's , which he hath lost , and thou hast found ; thou mayest not hide thyself . * Thou shalt not see thy brother 's ass or his ox fallen down by the way , and hide thyself from them ; thou shalt surely help him to lift them up again . * A woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man , neither shall a man put on a woman 's garment ; for whosoever doeth these things is an abomination unto the 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 shalt not take the dam with the young ; * thou shalt in any wise let the dam go , but the young thou mayest take unto thyself ; that it may be well with thee , and that thou mayest prolong thy days . * When thou buildest a new house , then thou shalt make a parapet for thy roof , that thou bring not blood upon thy house , if any man fall from thence . * Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with two kinds of seed ; lest the fulness of the seed which thou hast sown be forfeited together with the increase of the vineyard . * Thou shalt not plow with an ox and an ass together . * Thou shalt not wear a mingled stuff , wool and linen together . * Thou shalt make thee twisted cords upon the four corners of thy covering , wherewith thou coverest thyself . * If any man take a wife , and go in unto her , and hate her , * and lay wanton charges against her , and bring up an evil name upon her , and say : 'I took this woman , and when I came nigh to her , I found not in her the tokens of virginity '; * 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 . * And the damsel 's father shall say unto the elders : 'I gave my daughter unto this man to wife , and he hateth her ; * and , lo , he hath laid wanton charges , saying : I found not 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 city . * 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 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 . * But if this thing be true , that the tokens of virginity were not found in the damsel ; * 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 a wanton deed in Israel , to play the harlot in her father 's house ; so shalt thou put away the evil from the midst of thee . * If a man be found lying 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 shalt thou put away the evil from Israel . * If there be a damsel that is a virgin betrothed unto a man , and a man find her in the city , and lie with her ; * 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 the evil from the midst of thee . * But if the man find the damsel that is betrothed in the field , and the man take hold of her , and lie with her ; then the man only that lay with her shall die . * But unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing ; there is in the damsel no sin worthy of death ; for as when a man riseth against his neighbour , and slayeth him , even so is this matter . * For he found her in the field ; the betrothed damsel cried , and there was none to save her . * If a man find a damsel that is a virgin , that is not betrothed , and lay hold on her , and lie with her , and they be found ; * then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel 's father fifty shekels of silver , and she shall be his wife , because he hath 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 .
