Deuteronomy
Chapter 22
1
You shall not see your brother's ox or his sheep go astray,
and
hide yourself from them.
You
shall in any case bring them again unto your brother.
2
And if your brother be not near unto you,
or
if you know him not,
then
you shall bring it unto your own house,
and
it shall be with you until your brother seek after it,
and
you shall restore it to him again.
3
In like manner shall you do with his ass;
and
so shall you do with his raiment;
and
with all lost thing of your brother's,
which
he has lost,
and
you have found,
shall
you do likewise.
You
may not hide yourself.
4
You shall not see your brother's ass
or
his ox fall down by the way,
and
hide yourself from them.
You
shall surely help him to lift them up again.
5
The woman shall not wear that which pertains unto a man,
neither
shall a man put on a woman's garment.
For
all that do so are abomination
unto
Jehovah/God your Elohiym/Godhead.
6
If a bird's nest chance to be before you 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,
you
shall not take the dam with the young.
7
But you shall in any wise let the dam go,
and
take the young to you;
that
it may be well with you,
and
that you may prolong your days.
8
When you build a new house,
then
you shall make a battlement for your roof,
that
you bring not blood upon your house,
if
any man fall from there.
9
You shall not sow your vineyard with divers seeds.
Lest
the fruit of your seed which you have sown,
and
the fruit of your vineyard, be defiled.
10
You shall not plow with an ox and an ass together.
11
You shall not wear a garment of divers sorts,
as
of woolen and linen together.
12
You shall make you fringes upon the four quarters of your vesture,
wherewith
you cover yourself.
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 virgin 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 hates her.
17
And, lo, He has given occasions of speech against her, saying,
I
found not your daughter a virgin
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 has 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 has wrought folly in Israel,
to
play the whore in her father's house.
So
shall you put evil away from among you.
22a
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.
[Note: Sex is a big topic of the Bible. See pornea for my summary.]
22b
So shall you 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
you shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city,
and
you shall stone them with stones that they die;
the
damsel, because she cried not, being in the city;
and
the man, because he has humbled his neighbor's woman/wife.
{'ishshah - Hebrew word for woman - also used for wife. A woman
betrothed to a man falls under the category of wife for this
purpose}
So
you shall 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 you shall do nothing;
there
is in the damsel no sin worthy of death.
For
as when a man rises against his neighbor,
and
slays 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 has 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.
