Deuteronomy 22:5-12

5“A woman shall not wear anything that pertains to a man, nor shall a man put on a woman’s garment, for all who do so are an abomination to the Lord your God.

6“If a bird’s nest happens to be before you along the way, in any tree or on the ground, with young ones or eggs, with the mother sitting on the young or on the eggs, you shall not take the mother with the young;

7you shall surely let the mother go, and take the young for yourself, 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 parapet for your roof, that you may not bring guilt of bloodshed on your household if anyone falls from it.

9“You shall not sow your vineyard with different kinds of seed, lest the yield of the seed which you have sown and the fruit of your vineyard be defiled.

10“You shall not plow with an ox and a donkey together.

11“You shall not wear a garment of different sorts, such as wool and linen mixed together.

12“You shall make tassels on the four corners of the clothing with which you cover yourself.
