1 “If you see your brother’s ox or sheep wander astray, you shall not pass by. Instead, you shall lead 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 But if your brother is not near, or you do not know him, you shall lead them to your house, and they shall be with you until your brother seeks them and receives them. 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 You shall act in a similar manner with his donkey, and his clothing, and all the belongings of your brother that have been lost. If you find it, you shall not neglect it, as if it belonged to a stranger. 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 If you see that your brother’s donkey or ox has fallen along the way, you shall not disregard it. Instead, you shall lift it 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 A woman shall not be clothed with manly apparel, nor shall a man make use of feminine apparel. For whoever does these things is abominable with 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, as you are walking along the way, you find a bird’s nest, in a tree or on the ground, and the mother is nurturing the young or the eggs, you shall not take her with her 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 Instead, you shall permit her to go, retaining the young that you have caught, so that it may be well with you, and you may live for a long time. 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 wall around the roof. Otherwise, someone may slip and fall down violently, and so blood would be shed at your house, and you would be guilty. “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 another seed, lest both the seed that you have sown and what springs forth from the vineyard be sanctified together. “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 till with an ox and a donkey at the same time. 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 a vestment which has been woven from both wool and linen. You shall not wear cloth of wool and linen mixed together. Do not wear clothes of wool and linen woven together.
12 You shall make strings along the hem, at the four corners of your cloak, which covers you. “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 takes a wife, and afterwards he has hatred for 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 so he seeks opportunities to dismiss her, imputing a very wicked name to her by saying, ‘I received this woman as a wife, and upon entering to her, I found her not to be a virgin,’ 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 her father and mother shall take her, and they shall bring with them the signs of her virginity, to the elders of the city who are 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.
16 And the father shall say: ‘I gave my daughter to this man as a wife. And because he hates 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 he accuses her with a very wicked name, by saying: “I did not find your daughter to be a virgin.” But behold, these are the signs of my daughter’s virginity.’ And they shall spread the clothing before the elders of the city. 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 city shall apprehend that man and beat him. Then the elders of that city shall take the man and whip him, and the elders shall take the man and punish him.
19 Moreover, they shall fine him one hundred shekels of silver, which he will give to the father of the girl, because he has committed slander, with a very wicked name, against a virgin of Israel. And he shall have her as a wife, and he cannot dismiss her throughout all the days of his life. 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 if what he has claimed is true and virginity is not found in the girl, 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 throw her down, outside the doors of her father’s house, and the men of that city shall stone her to death, and she shall die. For she has acted wickedly in Israel, in that she fornicated in her father’s house. And so shall you take away the evil from your midst. 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 sleeps with the wife of another, then they shall both die, that is, the adulterer and the adulteress. And so shall you take 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. 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 man has betrothed a girl who is a virgin, and if someone finds her in the city and he lies 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 then you shall lead them both out to the gate of that city, and they shall be stoned to death: the girl, because she did not cry out though she was in the city; the man, because he has humiliated the wife of his neighbor. And so shall you take away the evil from your midst. 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 discovers, in the countryside, a girl who has been betrothed, and, apprehending her, he lies with her, then he alone 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 The girl shall suffer nothing, nor is she guilty unto death. For just as a robber rises up against his brother and slays his life, so also did the girl suffer greatly. 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 She was alone in the field. She cried out, and there was no one nearby, who might deliver 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 find a girl who is a virgin, who does not have a betrothal, and, taking her, he lies with her, and the matter is brought to judgment, “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 he who slept with her shall give to the father of the girl fifty shekels of silver, and he shall have her as a wife, because he has humiliated her. He cannot dismiss her, throughout all the days of his life. 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 father’s wife, nor remove her covering.” “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.
