Deuteronomy 22 (WEBP)

[1] You shall not see your brother’s ox or his sheep go astray and hide yourself from them. You shall surely bring them again to your brother.
[2] If your brother isn’t near to you, or if you don’t know him, then you shall bring it home to your house, and it shall be with you until your brother comes looking for it, and you shall restore it to him.
[3] So you shall do with his donkey. So you shall do with his garment. So you shall do with every lost thing of your brother’s, which he has lost and you have found. You may not hide yourself.
[4] You shall not see your brother’s donkey or his ox fallen down by the way, and hide yourself from them. You shall surely help him to lift them up again.
[5] A woman shall not wear men’s clothing, neither shall a man put on women’s clothing; for whoever does these things is an abomination to Yahweh your God.
[6] If you come across a bird’s nest on the way, in any tree or on the ground, with young ones or eggs, and the hen sitting on the young, or on the eggs, you shall not take the hen with the young.
[7] You shall surely let the hen go, but the young you may take for yourself, that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days.
[8] When you build a new house, then you shall make a railing around your roof, so that you don’t bring blood on your house if anyone falls from there.
[9] You shall not sow your vineyard with two kinds of seed, lest all the fruit be defiled, the seed which you have sown, and the increase of the vineyard.
[10] You shall not plow with an ox and a donkey together.
[11] You shall not wear clothes of wool and linen woven together.
[12] You shall make yourselves fringes on the four corners of your cloak with which you cover yourself.
[13] If any man takes a wife, and goes in to her, hates her,
[14] accuses her of shameful things, gives her a bad name, and says, “I took this woman, and when I came near to her, I didn’t find in her the tokens of virginity;”
[15] then the young lady’s father and mother shall take and bring the tokens of the young lady’s virginity to the elders of the city in the gate.
[16] The young lady’s father shall tell the elders, “I gave my daughter to this man as his wife, and he hates her.
[17] Behold, he has accused her of shameful things, saying, ‘I didn’t find in your daughter the tokens of virginity;’ and yet these are the tokens of my daughter’s virginity.” They shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city.
[18] The elders of that city shall take the man and chastise him.
[19] They shall fine him one hundred shekels of silver, and give them to the father of the young lady, because he has given a bad name to a virgin of Israel. She shall be his wife. He may not put her away all his days.
[20] But if this thing is true, that the tokens of virginity were not found in the young lady,
[21] then they shall bring out the young lady to the door of her father’s house, and the men of her city shall stone her to death with stones, because she has done folly in Israel, to play the prostitute in her father’s house. So you shall remove the evil from among you.
[22] If a man is found lying with a woman married to a husband, then they shall both die, the man who lay with the woman and the woman. So you shall remove the evil from Israel.
[23] If there is a young lady who is a virgin pledged to be married to a husband, and a man finds her in the city, and lies with her,
[24] then you shall bring them both out to the gate of that city, and you shall stone them to death with stones; the lady, because she didn’t cry, being in the city; and the man, because he has humbled his neighbor’s wife. So you shall remove the evil from among you.
[25] But if the man finds the lady who is pledged to be married in the field, and the man forces her and lies with her, then only the man who lay with her shall die;
[26] but to the lady you shall do nothing. There is in the lady no sin worthy of death; for as when a man rises against his neighbor and kills him, even so is this matter;
[27] for he found her in the field, the pledged to be married lady cried, and there was no one to save her.
[28] If a man finds a lady who is a virgin, who is not pledged to be married, grabs her and lies with her, and they are found,
[29] then the man who lay with her shall give to the lady’s father fifty shekels of silver. She shall be his wife, because he has humbled her. He may not put her away all his days.
[30] A man shall not take his father’s wife, and shall not uncover his father’s skirt.

[1] μη ιδων τον μοσχον του αδελφου σου η το προβατον αυτου πλανωμενα εν τη οδω υπεριδης αυτα αποστροφη αποστρεψεις αυτα τω αδελφω σου και αποδωσεις αυτω
[2] εαν δε μη εγγιζη ο αδελφος σου προς σε μηδε επιστη αυτον συναξεις αυτα ενδον εις την οικιαν σου και εσται μετα σου εως αν ζητηση αυτα ο αδελφος σου και αποδωσεις αυτω
[3] ουτως ποιησεις τον ονον αυτου και ουτως ποιησεις το ιματιον αυτου και ουτως ποιησεις κατα πασαν απωλειαν του αδελφου σου οσα εαν αποληται παρ αυτου και ευρης ου δυνηση υπεριδειν
[4] ουκ οψη τον ονον του αδελφου σου η τον μοσχον αυτου πεπτωκοτας εν τη οδω μη υπεριδης αυτους ανιστων αναστησεις μετ αυτου
[5] ουκ εσται σκευη ανδρος επι γυναικι ουδε μη ενδυσηται ανηρ στολην γυναικειαν οτι βδελυγμα κυριω τω θεω σου εστιν πας ποιων ταυτα
[6] εαν δε συναντησης νοσσια ορνεων προ προσωπου σου εν τη οδω η επι παντι δενδρει η επι της γης νεοσσοις η ωοις και η μητηρ θαλπη επι των νεοσσων η επι των ωων ου λημψη την μητερα μετα των τεκνων
[7] αποστολη αποστελεις την μητερα τα δε παιδια λημψη σεαυτω ινα ευ σοι γενηται και πολυημερος εση
[8] εαν δε οικοδομησης οικιαν καινην και ποιησεις στεφανην τω δωματι σου και ου ποιησεις φονον εν τη οικια σου εαν πεση ο πεσων απ αυτου
[9] ου κατασπερεις τον αμπελωνα σου διαφορον ινα μη αγιασθη το γενημα και το σπερμα ο εαν σπειρης μετα του γενηματος του αμπελωνος σου
[10] ουκ αροτριασεις εν μοσχω και ονω επι το αυτο
[11] ουκ ενδυση κιβδηλον ερια και λινον εν τω αυτω
[12] στρεπτα ποιησεις σεαυτω επι των τεσσαρων κρασπεδων των περιβολαιων σου α εαν περιβαλη εν αυτοις
[13] εαν δε τις λαβη γυναικα και συνοικηση αυτη και μισηση αυτην
[14] και επιθη αυτη προφασιστικους λογους και κατενεγκη αυτης ονομα πονηρον και λεγη την γυναικα ταυτην ειληφα και προσελθων αυτη ουχ ευρηκα αυτης παρθενια
[15] και λαβων ο πατηρ της παιδος και η μητηρ εξοισουσιν τα παρθενια της παιδος προς την γερουσιαν επι την πυλην
[16] και ερει ο πατηρ της παιδος τη γερουσια την θυγατερα μου ταυτην δεδωκα τω ανθρωπω τουτω γυναικα και μισησας αυτην
[17] αυτος νυν επιτιθησιν αυτη προφασιστικους λογους λεγων ουχ ευρηκα τη θυγατρι σου παρθενια και ταυτα τα παρθενια της θυγατρος μου και αναπτυξουσιν το ιματιον εναντιον της γερουσιας της πολεως
[18] και λημψεται η γερουσια της πολεως εκεινης τον ανθρωπον εκεινον και παιδευσουσιν αυτον
[19] και ζημιωσουσιν αυτον εκατον σικλους και δωσουσιν τω πατρι της νεανιδος οτι εξηνεγκεν ονομα πονηρον επι παρθενον ισραηλιτιν και αυτου εσται γυνη ου δυνησεται εξαποστειλαι αυτην τον απαντα χρονον
[20] εαν δε επ αληθειας γενηται ο λογος ουτος και μη ευρεθη παρθενια τη νεανιδι
[21] και εξαξουσιν την νεανιν επι τας θυρας οικου πατρος αυτης και λιθοβολησουσιν αυτην οι ανδρες της πολεως αυτης εν λιθοις και αποθανειται οτι εποιησεν αφροσυνην εν υιοις ισραηλ εκπορνευσαι τον οικον του πατρος αυτης και εξαρεις τον πονηρον εξ υμων αυτων
[22] εαν δε ευρεθη ανθρωπος κοιμωμενος μετα γυναικος συνωκισμενης ανδρι αποκτενειτε αμφοτερους τον ανδρα τον κοιμωμενον μετα της γυναικος και την γυναικα και εξαρεις τον πονηρον εξ ισραηλ
[23] εαν δε γενηται παις παρθενος μεμνηστευμενη ανδρι και ευρων αυτην ανθρωπος εν πολει κοιμηθη μετ αυτης
[24] εξαξετε αμφοτερους επι την πυλην της πολεως αυτων και λιθοβοληθησονται εν λιθοις και αποθανουνται την νεανιν οτι ουκ εβοησεν εν τη πολει και τον ανθρωπον οτι εταπεινωσεν την γυναικα του πλησιον και εξαρεις τον πονηρον εξ υμων αυτων
[25] εαν δε εν πεδιω ευρη ανθρωπος την παιδα την μεμνηστευμενην και βιασαμενος κοιμηθη μετ αυτης αποκτενειτε τον ανθρωπον τον κοιμωμενον μετ αυτης μονον
[26] και τη νεανιδι ου ποιησετε ουδεν ουκ εστιν τη νεανιδι αμαρτημα θανατου οτι ως ει τις επαναστη ανθρωπος επι τον πλησιον και φονευση αυτου ψυχην ουτως το πραγμα τουτο
[27] οτι εν τω αγρω ευρεν αυτην εβοησεν η νεανις η μεμνηστευμενη και ο βοηθησων ουκ ην αυτη
[28] εαν δε τις ευρη την παιδα την παρθενον ητις ου μεμνηστευται και βιασαμενος κοιμηθη μετ αυτης και ευρεθη
[29] δωσει ο ανθρωπος ο κοιμηθεις μετ αυτης τω πατρι της νεανιδος πεντηκοντα διδραχμα αργυριου και αυτου εσται γυνη ανθ ων εταπεινωσεν αυτην ου δυνησεται εξαποστειλαι αυτην τον απαντα χρονον
[30] [23:1] ου λημψεται ανθρωπος την γυναικα του πατρος αυτου και ουκ αποκαλυψει συγκαλυμμα του πατρος αυτου
