Deuteronomy 22:1-18
1Thou shalt notH3808 seeH7200 thy brother’sH251 oxH7794 or his sheepH7716 goH7725 astrayH5080, and hideH5956 thyself from them: thou shalt surelyH7725 bringH7725 them againH7725 unto thy brotherH251.
2And ifH518 thy brotherH251 be notH3808 nigh unto thee, or ifH518 thou knowH3045 him notH3808, then thou shalt bringH7725 it homeH1004 to thine houseH1004, and it shall be with thee untilH5704 thy brotherH251 seekH1875 afterH1961 it, and thou shalt restoreH7725 it to him againH7725.
3And soH3651 shalt thou doH6213 with his ass; and soH3651 shalt thou doH6213 with his garmentH8071; and soH3651 shalt thou doH6213 with everyH3605 lostH6 thingH3651 of thy brother’sH251, whichH834 he hath lostH6, and thou hast foundH4672: thou mayest notH3808 hideH5956 thyself.
4Thou shalt notH3808 seeH7200 thy brother’sH251 ass or his oxH7794 fallenH5307 downH5307 by the wayH1870, and hideH5956 thyself from them: thou shalt surelyH6965 helpH6965 him to liftH6965 them upH6965 againH6965.
5A womanH802 shall notH3808 wearH3847 that whichH428 pertaineth unto a manH1397, neitherH3808 shall a manH1397 putH3847 on a woman’sH802 garmentH8071: for whosoever doeth theseH428 things is an abominationH8441 unto the LORDH3068 thy GodH430.
6IfH3588 a bird’sH6833 nestH7064 chanceH7122 to be beforeH6440 thee in the wayH1870, in anyH3605 treeH6086 or on the groundH776, with youngH1121 onesH667 or eggsH1000, and the dam sittingH7257 uponH5921 the youngH1121, or uponH5921 the eggsH1000, thou shalt notH3808 takeH3947 the dam with the youngH1121:
7thou shalt in any wise letH7971 the dam goH7971, but the youngH1121 thou mayest takeH3947 unto thyself; that it may be wellH3190 with thee, and that thou mayest prolongH748 thy daysH3117.
8When thou buildest a newH2319 houseH1004, then thou shalt makeH7760 a battlement for thy roofH1406, that thou bringH7760 notH3808 bloodH1818 uponH5307 thine houseH1004, ifH3588 anyH4480 man fallH5307 from thence.
9Thou shalt notH3808 sowH2232 thy vineyardH3754 with twoH3610 kindsH3610 of seedH2233: lestH6435 the whole fruit be forfeited, the seedH2233 whichH834 thou hast sownH2232, and the increaseH8393 of the vineyardH3754.
10Thou shalt notH3808 plowH2790 with an oxH7794 and an ass togetherH3162.
11Thou shalt notH3808 wearH3847 a mingled stuff, woolH6785 and linenH6593 togetherH3162.
12Thou shalt makeH6213 thee fringes uponH5921 the fourH702 borders of thy vesture, wherewith thou coverest thyself.
13IfH3588 anyH376 manH376 takeH3947 a wifeH802, and goH935 in unto herH413, and hateH8130 herH413,
14and layH7760 shamefulH5949 things to herH413 chargeH5921, and bringH3318 upH5921 an evilH7451 nameH8034 uponH5921 herH413, and sayH559, I tookH3947 this womanH802, and when I cameH3318 nigh to herH413, I foundH4672 notH3808 in herH413 the tokens of virginityH1331:
15then shall the fatherH1 of the damsel, and herH413 motherH517, takeH3947 and bringH3318 forthH3318 the tokens of the damsel’s virginityH1331 unto the eldersH2205 of the cityH5892 in the gateH8179:
16and the damsel’s fatherH1 shall sayH559 unto the eldersH2205, I gaveH5414 my daughterH1323 unto this manH376 to wifeH802, and he hateth herH413;
17and, loH2009, he hath laidH7760 shamefulH5949 things to herH559 chargeH1697, sayingH559, I foundH4672 notH3808 in thy daughterH1323 the tokens of virginityH1331; and yet theseH428 are the tokens of my daughter’sH1323 virginityH1331. And they shall spreadH6566 the garmentH8071 beforeH6440 the eldersH2205 of the cityH5892.
18And the eldersH2205 of that cityH5892 shall takeH3947 the manH376 and chastiseH3256 him;
