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.

Deuteronomy 22 (YLT)

[1] ‘Thou dost not see the ox of thy brother or his sheep driven away, and hast hidden thyself from them, thou dost certainly turn them back to thy brother;
[2] and if thy brother is not near unto thee, and thou hast not known him, then thou hast removed it unto the midst of thy house, and it hath been with thee till thy brother seek it, and thou hast given it back to him;
[3] and so thou dost to his ass, and so thou dost to his garment, and so thou dost to any lost thing of thy brother’s, which is lost by him, and thou hast found it; thou art not able to hide thyself.
[4] ‘Thou dost not see the ass of thy brother, or his ox, falling in the way, and hast hid thyself from them; thou dost certainly raise them up with him.
[5] ‘The habiliments of a man are not on a woman, nor doth a man put on the garment of a woman, for the abomination of Jehovah thy God is any one doing these.
[6] ‘When a bird’s nest cometh before thee in the way, in any tree, or on the earth, brood or eggs, and the mother sitting on the brood or on the eggs, thou dost not take the mother with the young ones;
[7] thou dost certainly send away the mother, and the young ones dost take to thyself, so that it is well with thee, and thou hast prolonged days.
[8] ‘When thou buildest a new house, then thou hast made a parapet to thy roof, and thou dost not put blood on thy house when one falleth from it.
[9] ‘Thou dost not sow thy vineyard with divers things, lest the fulness of the seed which thou dost sow, and the increase of the vineyard, be separated.
[10] ‘Thou dost not plow with an ox and with an ass together.
[11] ‘Thou dost not put on a mixed cloth, wool and linen together.
[12] ‘Fringes thou dost make to thee on the four skirts of thy covering with which thou dost cover thyself.
[13] ‘When a man taketh a wife, and hath gone in unto her, and hated her,
[14] and laid against her actions of words, and brought out against her an evil name, and said, This woman I have taken, and I draw near unto her, and I have not found in her tokens of virginity:
[15] ‘Then hath the father of the damsel-and her mother-taken and brought out the tokens of virginity of the damsel unto the elders of the city in the gate,
[16] and the father of the damsel hath said unto the elders, My daughter I have given to this man for a wife, and he doth hate her;
[17] and lo, he hath laid actions of words, saying, I have not found to thy daughter tokens of virginity-and these are the tokens of the virginity of my daughter! and they have spread out the garment before the elders of the city.
[18] ‘And the elders of that city have taken the man, and chastise him,
[19] and fined him a hundred silverlings, and given to the father of the damsel, because he hath brought out an evil name on a virgin of Israel, and she is to him for a wife, he is not able to send her away all his days.
[20] ‘And if this thing hath been truth-tokens of virginity have not been found for the damsel-
[21] then they have brought out the damsel unto the opening of her father’s house, and stoned her have the men of her city with stones, and she hath died, for she hath done folly in Israel, to go a-whoring in her father’s house; and thou hast put away the evil thing out of thy midst.
[22] ‘When a man is found lying with a woman, married to a husband, then they have died even both of them, the man who is lying with the woman, also the woman; and thou hast put away the evil thing out of Israel.
[23] ‘When there is a damsel, a virgin, betrothed to a man, and a man hath found her in a city, and lain with her;
[24] then ye have brought them both out unto the gate of that city, and stoned them with stones, and they have died:-the damsel, because that she hath not cried, being in a city; and the man, because that he hath humbled his neighbour’s wife; and thou hast put away the evil thing out of thy midst.
[25] ‘And if in a field the man find the damsel who is betrothed, and the man hath laid hold on her, and lain with her, then hath the man who hath lain with her died alone;
[26] and to the damsel thou dost not do anything, the damsel hath no deadly sin; for as a man riseth against his neighbour and hath murdered him-the life, so is this thing;
[27] for in a field he found her, she hath cried-the damsel who is betrothed-and she hath no saviour.
[28] ‘When a man findeth a damsel, a virgin who is not betrothed, and hath caught her, and lain with her, and they have been found,
[29] then hath the man who is lying with her given to the father of the damsel fifty silverlings, and to him she is for a wife; because that he hath humbled her, he is not able to send her away all his days.
[30] ‘A man doth not take his father’s wife, nor uncover his father’s skirt.
