1 Thou shalt not see the ox of thy brother or his sheep wandering, and thou shalt not hide from them: turning back, thou shalt turn them back to 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 is not near to thee and thou knew him not, and thou receivedst it in the midst of thy house, and it was with thee till thy brother sought it and thou gavest it back 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 shalt thou do to his ass, and so shalt thou do to his garments, and shalt thou do to all lost things of thy brother which shall be lost from him, and thou didst find it; thou shalt not be able to hide. 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 brother's ass or his ox fallen in the way, and hide from them: lifting up, thou shalt lift 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 The equipment of a man shall not be upon a woman, and a man shall not put on a woman's garment, for all doing these things are an abomination to Jehovah 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 When a bird's nest shall be found before thee in the way in any tree or upon the earth, the young broods or the eggs, and the mother reclining upon the young birds, or upon the eggs, thou shalt not take the mother upon 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 Sending, thou shalt send away the mother, and the sons thou shalt take to thee, so that it shall be well to thee and thou prolongedst the 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 thou shalt build a new house thou shalt make a ledge to thy roof, and thou shalt not put bloods upon thy house, if he shall fall 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 Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with a diversity, lest the fulness of thy seed which thou shalt sow shall be consecrated, and the produce of the vineyard. “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 plough with an ox and ass 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 put on any thing adulterated, wool and linen 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 make to thee twisted threads upon the four wings of thy covering with which thou shalt be covered. “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 any man shall take a wife, and went in to her and hated 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 he set pretexts of words against her, and brought up an evil name upon her, and said, I took this woman, and I shall come near to her, and I found in her not 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 And the father of the young girl took, and her mother, and brought the signs of virginity of the young girl to the elders of the city to 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 of the maiden said to the old men, I gave my daughter to this man for a wife and he will hate 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 behold, he set up pretexts of words, saying, I found not in thy daughter the signs of virginity; and these the signs of my daughter's virginity. And they spread the garment before the old men 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 old men of that city took the man and chastised him; Then the elders of that city shall take the man and whip him, and the elders shall take the man and punish him.

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 And if this word was the truth, and the signs of virginity not found for the maiden: 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 And they brought the maiden to the door of the house of her father, and the men of her city stoned her with stones and she died; for she did folly in Israel to commit fornication in her father's house: and thou didst put away evil from the midst of thee. 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 When a man shall be found lying with the woman mistress of a husband, and they died, also they two, the man lying with the woman, and the woman: and thou didst put away 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 When there shall be a maiden, a virgin, betrothed to a man, and a man found her in the city and lay 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 And ye brought out them two to the gate of that city, and stoned them with stones, and they died; and the maiden for the word which she cried not in the city, and the man for the word which he humbled his neighbor's wife: and thou didst put away evil from the midst of 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 And if in the field the man shall find the betrothed maiden, and the man held fast upon her, and lay with her, and the man that lay with her died 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 And to the maiden thou shalt not do a word; not to the maiden the sin of death: for as a man shall rise up against his friend, and he killed him the soul, so this word. 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 in the field he found her, the betrothed maiden cried and none saving 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 When a man shall find a maiden, a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold upon her and lay with her, and they were found; “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 And the man lying with her gave to the maiden's father fifty of silver, and to him she shall be for a wife; because that he humbled her, he shall not be able to send her away all his days. 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.
