Chapter 22
|
1
|
Thou shalt not see thy brother's ox or his sheep go astray,
and hide thyself from them: thou shalt in any case bring
them again unto thy brother. |
2
|
And if 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 thy brother seek after
it, and thou shalt restore it to him again. |
3
|
In like manner shalt thou do with his ass; and so shalt
thou do with his raiment; and with all lost thing of thy
brother's, which he hath lost, and thou hast found, shalt
thou do likewise: thou mayest not hide thyself. |
4
|
Thou shalt not see 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. |
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 abomination unto the LORD thy God. |
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: |
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 days. |
8
|
When thou buildest a new house, then thou shalt make
a battlement for thy roof, that thou bring not blood upon
thine house, if any man fall from thence. |
9
|
Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with divers seeds: lest
the fruit of thy seed which thou hast sown, and the fruit
of thy vineyard, be defiled. |
10
|
Thou shalt not plow with an ox and an ass together. |
11
|
Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts, as of
woolen and linen together. |
12
|
Thou shalt make thee fringes upon the four quarters of
thy vesture, wherewith thou coverest thyself. |
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 maid: |
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 hateth her; |
17
|
And, lo, 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 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
hath 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 hath wrought folly
in Israel, to play the whore in her father's house: so
shalt thou put evil away from among you. |
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 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 ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that
city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die;
the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city; and
the man, because he hath humbled his neighbor's wife: so
thou shalt 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 thou shalt do nothing; there is in
the damsel no sin worthy of death: for as when a man riseth
against his neighbor, and slayeth 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 hath 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. |
