Deuteronomy 22

22:1In beholding the calf of your brother or of his sheep wandering in the way, do not overlook them; by returning you shall return them to your brother, and you shall give them back to him.

22:2And if your brother is not near to you, nor do you know him, you shall bring them inside into your house; and it shall be with you until whenever your brother should seek them, and you shall give them back to him.

22:3So shall you do for his donkey, and so you shall do for his garment, and so you shall do according to all loss of your brother; as much as should perish of his, and you should find them, you shall not be able to overlook.

22:4You shall not see the donkey of your brother, or his calf fallen in the way, and not overlook them; by raising you shall raise them up for him.

22:5The items of a man shall not be upon a woman, nor should a man put on feminine apparel, for every one doing these things is an abomination to the lord your God.

22:6And if you should meet with a nest of birds before your face in the way, or upon any tree, or upon the ground -- young chicks or eggs, and the mother should be incubating upon the young, or upon the eggs, you shall not take the mother with the offspring.

22:7By discharge you shall send off the mother, but the offspring you shall take to yourself; that it should be good for you, and you shall be of many days.

22:8And if you should build a new house, then you shall make a rim for your roof, and you will not cause carnage in your house if should fall one falling from it.

22:9You shall not scatter abroad your vineyard diverse seed, that the produce should not be sanctified, and the seed which ever you should sow with the produce of your vineyard.

22:10You shall not plow with a calf and donkey upon the same yoke.

22:11You shall not put on commingled wool and flax upon the same garment.

22:12A twisted fringe you shall make for yourself upon the four decorative hems of your wrap-around garments, which ever you should put around yourself by them.

22:13And if any should take a wife, and should live with her, and should detest her,

22:14and should place upon her words offered as an excuse, and should bring upon her a bad name, and should say, I took this woman, and drawing near to her, I did not find her tokens of virginity.

22:15And taking, the father of the child and the mother, they shall bring forth the tokens of the virginity of the child to the council of elders at the gate.

22:16And the father of the child shall say to the council of elders, This daughter of mine I gave to this man as wife, and he is detesting her.

22:17He now places upon her words offered as an excuse, saying, I did not find tokens of virginity of your daughter; and these are the tokens of virginity of my daughter. And they shall unfold the garment worn by her before the council of elders of the city.

22:18And the council of elders of that city shall take that man, and they shall correct him,

22:19and shall penalize him a hundred shekels, and shall give them to the father of the young woman, because he brought a bad name upon an Israelite virgin, and she shall be his wife; he shall not be able to send her away at any time.

22:20But if in truth this word be, and tokens of virginity should not be found to the young woman;

22:21then they shall lead the young woman unto the doors of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones, and she shall die; for she did folly among the sons of Israel, to fornicate the house of her father. And you shall lift away the wicked from yourselves of them.

22:22And if a man should be found going to bed with a wife living with a husband, you shall kill both, the man going to bed with the wife, and the wife; and you shall lift away the wickedness from Israel.

22:23And if there be a virgin child being espoused to a man, and a man finding her in the city should have gone to bed with her;

22:24you shall lead out both unto the gate of their city, and they shall be stoned with stones, and they shall die; the young woman, for she did not yell out in the city; and the man, for he humbled the wife of his neighbor; and you shall lift away the evil from yourselves of them.

22:25But if in a plain a man should find a girl, being espoused; and using force should go to bed with her, you shall kill the man, the one going to bed with her only;

22:26for the young woman shall not do anything, there is no sin worthy of death to the young woman. For as if any man should rise up against his neighbor, and should do murder taking his life, thus this thing,

22:27for in the field he found her; the young woman being espoused yelled, and was there no one helping her.

22:28And if any should find the virgin child, whoever was not espoused, and using force on her, he went to bed with her, and he should be found,

22:29the man going to bed with her shall give to the father of the young woman fifty double-drachmas of silver, and she will be his wife, because he humbled her; he will not be able to send her away at any time.

22:30A man shall not take the wife of his father, and shall not uncover the marriage veil of his father.
