1	You shall not see the ox of your brother or his sheep going astray, and hide yourself from them; you shall surely turn them back to your 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 your brother is not near to you, or if you do not know him, you shall bring it to the middle of your own house, and it shall remain with you until your brother seeks it—and you shall restore it to him.	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	And so shall you do with his donkey, and so shall you do with his garment, and so shall you do with any lost thing of your brother that is lost by him and you have found it. You must not hide yourself.	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	You shall not see the donkey of your brother or his ox fall down along the road, and hide yourself from them; you shall surely raise them up with him.	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	Anything that pertains to a man shall not be upon a woman, and a man shall not put on the garment of a woman; for an abomination to YHWH your God is anyone doing these things.	“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 the nest of a bird is encountered to your face along the way in any tree or on the ground, with chicks or eggs, and with the mother sitting on the chicks or on the eggs, you shall not take the mother with the sons;	“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	you shall surely send away the mother, and the young take for yourself, that it may be well with you and that you may prolong your days.	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 you build a new house, you shall make a parapet for your roof, that you may not bring blood on your house if anyone falls down from it.	“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	You shall not sow your vineyard with two kinds of seed, lest the yield of the seed that you have sown and the fruit of your vineyard be defiled.	“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	You shall not plow with an ox and with a donkey together.	You shall not plow with an ox and a donkey together.	Do not plow with an ox and a donkey yoked together.
11	You shall not wear mixed material, wool and linen mixed together.	You shall not wear cloth of wool and linen mixed together.	Do not wear clothes of wool and linen woven together.

15	the father and the young woman—and mother—shall take and bring out the tokens of virginity of the young woman to the elders of the city at 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.

She shall continue to be his wife; he must not divorce her as long as he lives.
20	But if this thing is true and tokens of virginity are not found for the young woman,	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	then they shall bring out the young woman to the door of the house of her father, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones to death, because she has done a disgraceful thing in Israel to play the prostitute in the house of her father. And you shall put away the evil 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.

22	If a man is found lying with a woman married to a husband, then they shall die, even the two of them, the man that lay with the woman and the woman. And you shall put away the evil 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.

24	then you⁺ shall bring out the two of them to the gate of that city, and you⁺ shall stone them with stones to death—the young woman on account of the matter, because she did not cry out in the city, and the man upon this thing, because he humbled the wife of his neighbor. And you shall put away the evil from among you.	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.

25	But if in the countryside the man finds a young woman betrothed, and the man forces her and lies with her, only the man who lay with her shall die.	“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	And to the young woman you shall not do anything; in the young woman there is no sin of death. For as when a man rises against his neighbor and kills him, even 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 countryside and cried out the young woman betrothed, and there was no one to save 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 finds a young woman, a virgin who is not betrothed, and he seizes her and lies with her and they are found out,	“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,
