Deuteronomy 22

VIN(i) 1 If you see your brother's ox or his sheep wandering, do not go by without helping, but take them back to your brother. 2 If their owner is not near, or if you are not certain who he is, then take the beast to your house and keep it till its owner comes in search of it, and then you are to give it back to him. 3 Do the same for his donkey, his garment, and for anything lost that belongs to your fellow countryman. When you find it, you must not ignore it. 4 "You should not see your brothers donkey or his bull fallen down on the way, and pay no attention to them. Help him lift it to its feet. 5 "A woman must not wear man's clothing or a man women's clothing. The person who does these things is an abomination to the LORD your God. 6 "When you encounter a bird's nest along the road, whether in a tree or on the ground, and the mother bird is sitting on its chicks or eggs, don't take the mother along with its young. 7 You may take the young but be sure to release the mother, so that life will go well for you and that you may have a long life. 8 "When you build a new house make a parapet (wall) for your roof. This way you will not bring bloodguilt on your house if anyone falls from it. 9 "Do not sow your vineyard with two kinds of seed, or all the produce of the seed that you have sown and the increase of the vineyard will become defiled. 10 "Don't plow with an ox and a donkey yoked together. 11 You shall not wear clothes of wool and linen woven together. 12 "You should attach tassels to the four corners of your cloaks. 13 If any man takes a wife, and goes in to her, and dislikes her, 14 accuses her of shameful things, gives her a bad name, and says, “I took this woman, and when I came near to her, I didn’t find in her the tokens of virginity;” 15 Then the girl's father and her mother shall take and bring the girl's tokens of virginity to the elders of the city in the gate. 16 And the damsel's father shall say to the elders, I gave my daughter to this man to wife, and he dislikes her. 17 Now look, he has invented charges against her by saying, "I haven't found your daughter to be a virgin." But here is the proof of my daughter's virginity.' Then they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city. 18 And the elders of that city shall take that man and punish him. 19 "They will fine him a hundred shekels of silver. They will give it to the girl's father, because he publicly defamed a virgin of Israel. She will remain his wife. He may not divorce her all his days. 20 But if this charge is true, and the evidence of the young lady's virginity weren't found, 21 they will take the girl to the doorway of her father's house. The men of her city shall stone her to death because she has committed an act of folly in Israel by playing the harlot in her father's house. You must purge the evil from among you. 22 "If a man is found lying with a married woman, then they shall both die; both of them, the man who lay with the woman and the woman also, so you shall purge the evil from Israel. 23 "If a man meets a young virgin lady engaged to be married in the city and has sexual relations with her, 24 "You must bring them both out to the gate of that city and you must stone them to death! The girl did not protest what was happening and the man has violated his neighbor's woman. Thus you shall purge the evil from among you. 25 But if the man found a betrothed damsel in the field and the man forced her and lay with her; then only the man that lay with her shall die; 26 "Do nothing to the woman. There is no sin in the woman worthy of death. This is like the case where a man attacks and murders his neighbor. 27 For he found her in the field, and the betrothed damsel cried, and there was none to save her. 28 If a man finds a lady who is a virgin, who is not pledged to be married, grabs her and lies with her, and they are found, 29 Then the man will have to give the virgin's father fifty shekels of silver and make her his wife, because he has put shame on her; he may never put her away all his life. 30 "A man must not marry his father's wife, so that he will not dishonor his father's memory."
