In like manner shalt thou do with his ass; and so shalt thou do with his raiment; and with all lost things 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

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

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.

11

Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts,

12

Thou shalt make thee fringes upon the four quarters of thy vesture, wherewith thou coverest

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

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

18

And the elders of that city shall take that man and chastise him;

19

And they shall amerce him in an hundred

20

But if this thing be true,

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,

23

If a damsel

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,

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;

27

For he found her in the field,

28

If a man find a damsel

29

Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel’s father fifty

30

A man shall not take his father’s wife, nor discover his father’s skirt.
