Deuteronomy 22
- 1
- Thou shalt not see thy brother's ox or his sheep go
astray, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt in any case bring them again
unto thy brother.
- 2
- 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.
- 3
- In like manner shalt thou do with his ass; and so shalt
thou do with his raiment; and with all lost thing of thy brother's, which he
hath lost, and thou hast found, shalt thou do likewise: thou mayest not hide
thyself.
- 4
- Thou shalt not see thy brother's ass or his ox fall down
by the way, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt surely help him to lift
them up again.
- 5
- The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a
man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are
abomination unto the LORD thy God.
- 6
- If a bird's 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:
- 7
- 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.
- 8
- 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.
- 9
- Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with divers seeds: lest
the fruit of thy seed which thou hast sown, and the fruit of thy vineyard, be
defiled.
- 10
- Thou shalt not plow with an ox and an ass together.
- 11
- Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts, as of
woollen and linen together.
- 12
- Thou shalt make thee fringes upon the four quarters of
thy vesture, wherewith thou coverest thyself.
- 13
- If any man take a wife, and go in unto 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 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:
- 16
- And the damsel's father shall say unto the elders, I
gave my daughter unto this man to wife, and he hateth her;
- 17
- 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
daughter's virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the
city.
- 18
- And the elders of that city shall take that man and
chastise him;
- 19
- And they shall amerce him in an 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.
- 20
- But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity
be not found for the damsel:
- 21
- 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 folly in Israel, to play the whore in her
father's house: so shalt thou put evil away from among you.
- 22
- If a man be found lying with a woman married to an
husband, 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.
- 23
- If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto an
husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her;
- 24
- 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 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 shall
die.
- 26
- 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:
- 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 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.
- 30
- A man shall not take his father's wife, nor discover his
father's skirt.
