* Thou shalt not see thy brothers ox or his sheep go astray , and hide thyself from them : thou shalt in any case bring them again unto thy brother . * And if thy brother be not nigh unto thee , or if thou know him not , then thou shalt bring it unto thine own house , and it shall be with thee until thy brother seek after it , and thou shalt restore it to him again . * In like manner shalt thou do with his ass ; and so shalt thou do with his raiment ; and with all lost thing of thy brothers , which he hath lost , and thou hast found , shalt thou do likewise : thou mayest not hide thyself . * Thou shalt not see thy brothers ass or his ox fall down by the way , and hide thyself from them : thou shalt surely help him to lift them up again . * The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man , neither shall a man put on a womans garment : for all that do so #el-leh # are abomination unto the LORD thy God . * If a birds 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 : * 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 . * 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 . * Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with divers seeds kil #ayim #: lest the fruit of thy seed which thou hast sown , and the fruit of thy vineyard , be defiled . * Thou shalt not plow with an ox and an ass together . * Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts sha #atnez #, as of woollen and linen together . * Thou shalt make thee fringes upon the four quarters of thy vesture , wherewith thou coverest thyself . * If any man take a wife , and go in unto her , and hate her , * 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 : * Then shall the father of the damsel na #arah #, and her mother , take and bring forth the tokens of the damsels virginity unto the elders of the city in the gate sha #ar #: * And the damsels father shall say unto the elders , I gave my daughter unto this man to wife , and he hateth her ; * 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 daughters virginity . And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city . * And the elders of that city shall take that man and chastise him ; * And they shall amerce him in an hundred shekels of silver , and give them unto the father of the damsel na #arah #, because he hath brought up an evil name upon a virgin of Israel Yisra #el #: and she shall be his wife ; he may not put her away all his days . * But if this thing be true , and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel na #arah #: * Then they shall bring 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 folly in Israel Yisra #el #, to play the whore in her fathers house : so shalt thou putevil away from among you . * If a man be found lying with a woman married to an husband ba #al #, 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 Yisra #el #. * If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto an husband , 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 na #arah #, because #H1697she cried not , being in the city ; and the man , because #H1697he hath humbled his neighbours wife : so thou shalt put away evil from among you . * 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 : * 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 (8676 ) him , even so is this matter : * For he found her in the field , and the betrothed damsel cried , and there was none to save her . * If a man find a damsel that is a virgin , which 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 damsels 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 fathers wife , nor discover his fathers skirt .
