22:1 Thou shalt not see achicha (thy brother)'s ox or his sheep go astray, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt in any case bring them again unto achicha (thy brother).
22:2 And if achicha (thy brother) [be] not nigh unto thee, or if thou know him not, then thou shalt bring it unto thine own house, and it shall be with thee until achicha (thy brother) seek after it, and thou shalt restore it to him again.
22:3 In like manner shalt thou do with his ass; and so shalt thou do with his raiment; and with all lost thing of achicha (thy brother)'s, which he hath lost, and thou hast found, shalt thou do likewise: thou mayest not hide thyself.
22:4 Thou shalt not see achicha (thy brother)'s ass or his ox fall down by the way, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt surely help him to lift [them] up again.
22:5 The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so [are] to'avat (abomination) unto YHWH (יהוה) thy Elohim (אלהים).
22:6 If a bird's nest chance to be before thee 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, thou shalt not take the dam with the young:
22:7 [But] thou shalt in any wise let the dam go, and take the young to thee; that it may be well with thee, and [that] thou mayest prolong [thy] yamin.
When thou buildest a new house, then thou shalt make a maakeh (parapet) for thy roof, that thou bring not blood upon thine house, if any man fall from thence.
22:9 Thou shalt not sow thy kerem (vineyard) with divers seeds: lest the fruit of thy seed which thou hast sown, and the fruit of thy kerem (vineyard), be defiled.
22:10 Thou shalt not plow with an ox and an ass together.
22:11 Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts, [as] of woollen and linen together.
22:12 Thou shalt make thee fringes upon the four quarters of thy vesture, wherewith thou coverest [thyself].
22:13 If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate her,
22:14 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 maid:
22:15 Then shall the avi of the na'arah (young lady), and her mother, take and bring forth [the tokens of] the na'arah (young lady)'s betulah (virgin)ity unto the zekenim (elders) of the city in the gate:
22:16 And the na'arah (young lady)'s avi shall say unto the zekenim, I gave my daughter unto this man to wife, and he hateth her;
22:17 And, behold, he hath given occasions of speech [against her], saying, I found not thy daughter a maid; and yet these [are the tokens of] my daughter's betulah (virgin)ity. And they shall spread the cloth before the zekenim of the city.
22:18 And the zekenim of that city shall take that man and chastise him;
22:19 And they shall amerce him in an hundred [shekels] of silver, and give [them] unto the avi of the na'arah (young lady), because he hath brought up an evil name upon a betulah (virgin) of Yisrael: and she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his yamin.
22:20 But if this thing be true, [and the tokens of] betulah (virgin)ity be not found for the na'arah (young lady):
22:21
Then they shall bring out the na'arah (young lady) to the door of her
father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her with
stones that she die: because she hath wrought folly in Yisrael,
to play the whore in her father's house: so shalt thou put evil
away from among you.
22:22 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: so shalt thou put away evil from Yisrael.
22:23 If a na'arah (young lady) [that is] a betulah (virgin) be betrothed unto an husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her;
22:24
Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that
city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the
na'arah (young lady), because she cried not, [being] in the city; and the
man, because he hath humbled his neighbour's wife: so thou
shalt put away evil from among you.
22:25 But if a man find a betrothed na'arah (young lady) in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with her shall die:
22:26 But unto the na'arah (young lady) thou shalt do nothing; [there is] in the na'arah (young lady) no sin [worthy] of death: for as when a man riseth against his neighbour, and slayeth him, even so [is] this matter:
22:27 For he found her in the field, [and] the betrothed na'arah (young lady) cried, and [there was] none to save her.
22:28 If a man find a na'arah (young lady) [that is] a betulah (virgin), which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;
22:29 Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the na'arah (young lady)'s avi fifty [shekels] of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his yamin.
22:30 (23:1)
A man shall not take his father's wife, nor discover his father's skirt.
