1	Thou shalt not see thy brothers oxe or sheepe go astray, and withdrawe thy selfe from them: but shalt bryng them agayne vnto thy brother.	“You shall not see your brother’s ox or his sheep going astray and ignore them. You shall take them back to your brother.	If you see your fellow Israelite’s ox or sheep straying, do not ignore it but be sure to take it back to its owner.
2	And if thy brother be not nye vnto thee, or if thou knowe hym not, then bryng it vnto thine owne house, and it shall remayne with thee vntyll thy brother aske after them, and then deliuer hym them agayne.	And if he does not live near you and you do not know who he is, you shall bring it home to your house, and it shall stay with you until your brother seeks it. Then you shall restore it to him.	If they do not live near you or if you do not know who owns it, take it home with you and keep it until they come looking for it. Then give it back.
3	In lyke maner shalt thou do with his asse, and so shalt thou do with his rayment: and with all lost thynges of thy brother, which he hath lost and thou hast found, shalt thou do likewise, and thou mayest not hide it from them.	And you shall do the same with his donkey or with his garment, or with any lost thing of your brother’s, which he loses and you find; you may not ignore it.	Do the same if you find their donkey or cloak or anything else they have lost. Do not ignore it.
4	Thou shalt not see thy brothers asse or oxe fall downe by the way, and withdrawe thy selfe from them: but shalt helpe hym to heaue them vp againe.	You shall not see your brother’s donkey or his ox fallen down by the way and ignore them. You shall help him to lift them up again.	If you see your fellow Israelite’s donkey or ox fallen on the road, do not ignore it. Help the owner get it to its feet.
5	The woman shall not weare that whiche parteyneth vnto the man, neither shall a man put on womans rayment: For all that do so, are abhomination vnto the Lorde thy God.	“A woman shall not wear a man’s garment, nor shall a man put on a woman’s cloak, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the LORD your God.	A woman must not wear men’s clothing, nor a man wear women’s clothing, for the LORD your God detests anyone who does this.
6	If thou chaunce vpon a birdes nest by the way, in whatsoeuer tree it be, or on the grounde, whether they be young or egges, and the damme sittyng vpon the young, or on the egges: thou shalt not take the damme with the young:	“If you come across a bird’s nest in any tree or on the ground, with young ones or eggs and the mother sitting on the young or on the eggs, you shall not take the mother with the young.	If you come across a bird’s nest beside the road, either in a tree or on the ground, and the mother is sitting on the young or on the eggs, do not take the mother with the young.
7	But shalt in any wyse let the damme go, & take the young to thee, that thou mayest prosper, and prolong thy dayes.	You shall let the mother go, but the young you may take for yourself, that it may go well with you, and that you may live long.	You may take the young, but be sure to let the mother go, so that it may go well with you and you may have a long life.
8	When thou buyldest a newe house, thou shalt make a battlement on the roofe, that thou lade not blood vpon thyne house if any man fal from thence.	“When you build a new house, you shall make a parapet for your roof, that you may not bring the guilt of blood upon your house, if anyone should fall from it.	When you build a new house, make a parapet around your roof so that you may not bring the guilt of bloodshed on your house if someone falls from the roof.
9	Thou shalt not sowe thy vineyarde with diuers seedes: lest the fruite of the seede which thou hast sowen, and the fruite of thy vineyarde, be defyled.	“You shall not sow your vineyard with two kinds of seed, lest the whole yield be forfeited, the crop that you have sown and the yield of the vineyard.	Do not plant two kinds of seed in your vineyard; if you do, not only the crops you plant but also the fruit of the vineyard will be defiled.
10	Thou shalt not plowe with an oxe and an asse together.	You shall not plow with an ox and a donkey together.	Do not plow with an ox and a donkey yoked together.
11	Thou shalt not weare a garment made of wool and linnen together.	You shall not wear cloth of wool and linen mixed together.	Do not wear clothes of wool and linen woven together.
12	Thou shalt not make thee gardes vppon the foure quarters of thy vesture wherewith thou couerest thy selfe.	“You shall make yourself tassels on the four corners of the garment with which you cover yourself.	Make tassels on the four corners of the cloak you wear.
13	If a man take a wyfe, and when he hath lyen with her, hate her,	“If any man takes a wife and goes in to her and then hates her	If a man takes a wife and, after sleeping with her, dislikes her
14	And lay shamefull thynges vnto her charge, and bryng vp an euyll name vpon her, and say, I toke this wyfe, and when I came to her I founde her not a mayde:	and accuses her of misconduct and brings a bad name upon her, saying, ‘I took this woman, and when I came near her, I did not find in her evidence of virginity,’	and slanders her and gives her a bad name, saying, “I married this woman, but when I approached her, I did not find proof of her virginity,”
15	Then shall the father of the damsell & the mother, bryng foorth the tokens of the damsels virginitie vnto the elders of the citie in the gate,	then the father of the young woman and her mother shall take and bring out the evidence of her virginity to the elders of the city in the gate.	then the young woman’s father and mother shall bring to the town elders at the gate proof that she was a virgin.
16	And the damsels father shall say vnto the elders: I gaue my daughter vnto this man to wyfe, and he hateth her,	And the father of the young woman shall say to the elders, ‘I gave my daughter to this man to marry, and he hates her;	Her father will say to the elders, “I gave my daughter in marriage to this man, but he dislikes her.
17	And lo, he layeth shamefull thynges vnto her charge, saying, I founde not thy daughter a mayde: and yet these are the tokens of my daughters virginitie. And they shall spreade the vesture before the elders of the citie.	and behold, he has accused her of misconduct, saying, “I did not find in your daughter evidence of virginity.” And yet this is the evidence of my daughter’s virginity.’ And they shall spread the cloak before the elders of the city.	Now he has slandered her and said, ‘I did not find your daughter to be a virgin.’ But here is the proof of my daughter’s virginity.” Then her parents shall display the cloth before the elders of the town,
18	And the elders of that citie shall take that man, and chastise hym,	Then the elders of that city shall take the man and whip him,	and the elders shall take the man and punish him.
19	And mearse hym in an hundred sides of syluer, and geue them vnto the father of the damsell, because he hath brought vp an euyl name vpon a mayde of Israel: And she shalbe his wyfe, and he may not put her away all his dayes.	and they shall fine him a hundred shekels of silver and give them to the father of the young woman, because he has brought a bad name upon a virgin of Israel. And she shall be his wife. He may not divorce her all his days.	They shall fine him a hundred shekels of silver and give them to the young woman’s father, because this man has given an Israelite virgin a bad name. She shall continue to be his wife; he must not divorce her as long as he lives.
20	But and yf the thyng be of a suretie that the damsell be not founde a virgin:	But if the thing is true, that evidence of virginity was not found in the young woman,	If, however, the charge is true and no proof of the young woman’s virginity can be found,
21	They shall bryng the damsell to the doore of her fathers house, and the men of that citie shall stone her with stones to death, because she hath wrought folly in Israel to play the whore in her fathers house: And so thou shalt put euyl from among you.	then they shall bring out the young woman to the door of her father’s house, and the men of her city shall stone her to death with stones, because she has done an outrageous thing in Israel by whoring in her father’s house. So you shall purge the evil from your midst.	she shall be brought to the door of her father’s house and there the men of her town shall stone her to death. She has done an outrageous thing in Israel by being promiscuous while still in her father’s house. You must purge the evil from among you.
22	If a man be founde lying with a woman that hath a wedded husband, they shall both dye, both the man that laye with the wyfe, and also the wyfe: and so thou shalt put away euill from Israel.	“If a man is found lying with the wife of another man, both of them shall die, the man who lay with the woman, and the woman. So you shall purge the evil from Israel.	If a man is found sleeping with another man’s wife, both the man who slept with her and the woman must die. You must purge the evil from Israel.
23	If a mayde be betrouthed vnto an husbande, and then a man finde her in the towne, and lye with her:	“If there is a betrothed virgin, and a man meets her in the city and lies with her,	If a man happens to meet in a town a virgin pledged to be married and he sleeps with her,
24	Ye shall bring them both out vnto the gates of the same citie, and shall stone them with stones to death: The damsell, because she cryed not beyng in the citie: And the man, because he hath humbled his neighbours wife: and thou shalt put away euyll from thee.	then you shall bring them both out to the gate of that city, and you shall stone them to death with stones, the young woman because she did not cry for help though she was in the city, and the man because he violated his neighbor’s wife. So you shall purge the evil from your midst.	you shall take both of them to the gate of that town and stone them to death—the young woman because she was in a town and did not scream for help, and the man because he violated another man’s wife. You must purge the evil from among you.
25	But if a man finde a betrouthed damsell in the fielde, and force her, and lye with her: then the man that lay with her, shall dye alone.	“But if in the open country a man meets a young woman who is betrothed, and the man seizes her and lies with her, then only the man who lay with her shall die.	But if out in the country a man happens to meet a young woman pledged to be married and rapes her, only the man who has done this shall die.
26	But vnto the damsell thou shalt do no harme, because there is in the damsell no cause of death: For as when a man ryseth against his neyghbour and slayeth hym: euen so is this matter.	But you shall do nothing to the young woman; she has committed no offense punishable by death. For this case is like that of a man attacking and murdering his neighbor,	Do nothing to the woman; she has committed no sin deserving death. This case is like that of someone who attacks and murders a neighbor,
27	For he found her in the fieldes: and the betrouthed damsell cryed, & there was no man to succour her.	because he met her in the open country, and though the betrothed young woman cried for help there was no one to rescue her.	for the man found the young woman out in the country, and though the betrothed woman screamed, there was no one to rescue her.
28	If a man finde a mayde that is not betrouthed, and take her, and lye with her, and they be founde:	“If a man meets a virgin who is not betrothed, and seizes her and lies with her, and they are found,	If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered,
29	Then the man that lay with her, shall geue vnto the damsels father fiftie sicles of siluer, and she shall be his wyfe, because he hath humbled her: and he may not put her away all his dayes.	then the man who lay with her shall give to the father of the young woman fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife, because he has violated her. He may not divorce her all his days.	he shall pay her father fifty shekels of silver. He must marry the young woman, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives.
30	No man shall take his fathers wife, nor vnheale his fathers couering.	“A man shall not take his father’s wife, so that he does not uncover his father’s nakedness.	A man is not to marry his father’s wife; he must not dishonor his father’s bed.
