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. |
