1 If you see your brother's ox or sheep straying, do not turn away and ignore it; be sure to take it back to your brother.
2 If your brother does not live near you or you do not know who he is, take the animal home with you and keep it until your brother comes looking for it. Then give it back to him.
3 Do the same with his donkey, with his cloak, and with anything your brother has lost that you find. You must not turn away and ignore it.
4 If you see your brother's donkey or ox fallen on the road, do not turn away and ignore it; be sure to help him get it on its feet.
5 A woman must not put on what pertains to a man, and a man must not wear a woman's clothing, for everyone who does such things is detestable to the LORD your God.
6 If you come across a bird's nest beside the road, in a tree or on the ground, with chicks or eggs and the mother sitting on the chicks or the eggs, do not take the mother along with the young.
7 Be sure to let the mother go, though you may take the young for yourself, so that it may go well with you and you may live long.
8 When you build a new house, put a railing around your roof, so that you will not bring the guilt of bloodshed on your house if someone falls from it.
9 Do not plant your vineyard with a second kind of seed, or the whole crop will be forfeited, both what you planted and the yield of the vineyard.
10 Do not plow with an ox and a donkey yoked together.
11 Do not wear a fabric of mixed threads, wool and linen woven together.
12 Make tassels on the four corners of the cloak you wrap around yourself.
13 Suppose a man marries a woman, has relations with her, and then turns against her,
14 accusing her of shameful conduct and giving her a bad reputation by saying, "I married this woman, but when I came near her I found no proof that she was a virgin."
15 The young woman's father and mother are to take the proof of her virginity and bring it to the elders of the town at the gate.
16 Her father will say to the elders, "I gave my daughter to this man in marriage, and he has turned against her.
17 Now he has accused her of shameful conduct, saying, 'I found no proof of virginity in your daughter.' But here is the proof of my daughter's virginity." Then they are to spread out the cloth in front of the town elders.
18 The elders of that town are to take the man and have him punished.
19 They are to fine him a hundred shekels of silver and give the money to the young woman's father, because this man has given an Israelite virgin a bad name. She is to remain his wife, and he may never divorce her as long as he lives.
20 But if the charge is true and no proof of the young woman's virginity is found,
21 they are to bring her out to the door of her father's house, and there the men of her town are to stone her to death. She has committed an outrage in Israel by acting as a prostitute in her father's house. In this way you will purge the evil from your midst.
22 If a man is caught sleeping with another man's wife, both of them must die, the man who slept with her and the woman as well. In this way you will purge the evil from Israel.
23 If a young woman who is a virgin is engaged to a man, and another man meets her in the town and sleeps with her,
24 take both of them out to the gate of that town and stone them to death: the young woman because she did not scream for help although she was in the town, and the man because he violated his neighbor's wife. In this way you will purge the evil from your midst.
25 But if the man comes upon the engaged young woman out in the country, overpowers her, and sleeps with her, only the man who slept with her is to die.
26 Do nothing to the young woman; she has committed no sin deserving death. This case is like that of a man who attacks his neighbor and murders him,
27 for he came upon her out in the country, and though the engaged young woman screamed, there was no one to rescue her.
28 If a man comes upon a young woman, a virgin who is not engaged, seizes her and sleeps with her, and they are discovered,
29 the man who slept with her must pay the young woman's father fifty shekels of silver, and she is to become his wife because he humiliated her. He may never divorce her as long as he lives.
30 A man must not marry his father's wife; he must not uncover his father's skirt.
