Bible Text (Scroll to Verse) [Copy]
1 You will not see your brother's ox or his sheep go astray, and hide yourself from them: you will in any case bring them again to your brother.
2 And if your brother [be] not near to you, or if you know him not, then you will bring it to your own house, and it will be with you until your brother seek after it, and you will restore it to him again.
3 In like manner will you do with his ass; and so will you do with his raiment; and with all lost thing of your brother's, which he has lost, and you have found, will you do likewise: you may not hide yourself.
4 You will not see your brother's ass or his ox fall down by the way, and hide yourself from them: you will surely help him to lift [them] up again.
5 The woman will not wear that which pertains to a man, neither will a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so [are] abomination to the LORD [Yahweh] your God.
6 If a bird's nest chance to be before you 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, you will not take the dam with the young:
7 [But] you will in any wise let the dam go, and take the young to you; that it may be well with you, and [that] you may prolong [your] days.
8 When you build a new house, then you will make a battlement for your roof, that you bring not blood upon your house, if any man fall from thence.
9 You will not sow your vineyard with divers seeds: lest the fruit of your seed which you have sown, and the fruit of your vineyard, be defiled.
10 You will not plow with an ox and an ass together.
11 You will not wear a garment of divers sorts, [as] of woollen and linen together.
12 You will make you fringes upon the four quarters of your vesture, with which you cover [yourself].
13 If any man take a wife, and go in to 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 will the father of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth [the tokens of] the damsel's virginity to the elders of the city in the gate:
16 And the damsel's father will say to the elders, I gave my daughter to this man to wife, and he hates her;
17 And, lo, he has given occasions of speech [against her], saying, I found not your daughter a maid; and yet these [are the tokens of] my daughter's virginity. And they will spread the cloth before the elders of the city.
18 And the elders of that city will take that man and chastise him;
19 And they will amerce him in 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 will 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 will bring out the damsel to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city will stone her with stones that she die: because she has wrought folly in Israel, to play the whore in her father's house: so will you put evil away from among you.
22 If a man be found lying with a woman married to a husband, then they will both of them die, [both] the man that lay with the woman, and the woman: so will you put away evil from Israel.
23 If a damsel [that is] a virgin be betrothed to a husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her;
24 Then you will bring them both out to the gate of that city, and you will stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, [being] in the city; and the man, because he has humbled his neighbour's wife: so you will 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 will die:
26 But to the damsel you will do nothing; [there is] in the damsel no sin [worthy] of death: for as when a man rises against his neighbour, and slays him, even so [is] this matter:
27 For he found her in the field, [and] the betrothed damsel cried, and [there was] none to save her.
28 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;
29 Then the man that lay with her will give to the damsel's father fifty [shekels] of silver, and she will be his wife; because he has humbled her, he may not put her away all his days.
30 A man will not take his father's wife, nor discover his father's skirt.
