    ²And if thy brother be not nigh, or thou know him not: thou shalt bring them to thy house, and they shall be with thee until thy brother seek them, and receive them.

    ³Thou shalt do in like manner with his ass, and with his raiment, and with every thing that is thy brother's, which is lost: if thou find it, neglect it not as pertaining to another.

    ⁴If thou see thy brother's ass or his ox to be fallen down in the way, thou shalt not slight it, but shalt lift it up with him.

    ⁵A woman shall not be clothed with man's apparel, neither shall a man use woman's apparel : for he that doeth these things is abominable before God.

    ⁶If thou find as thou walkest by the way, a bird's nest in a tree, or on the ground, and the dam sitting upon the young or upon the eggs: thou shalt not take her with her young:

    ⁷But shalt let her go, keeping the young which thou hast caught: that it may be well with thee, and thou mayst live a long time.

    ⁸When thou buildest a new house, thou shalt make a battlement to the roof round about: lest blood be shed in thy house, and thou be guilty, if any one slip, and fall down headlong.

    ¹¹Thou shalt not wear a garment that is woven of woollen and linen together.

    ¹³If a man marry a wife, and afterwards hate her,

    ¹⁴And seek occasions to put her away, laying to her charge a very ill name, and say: I took this woman to wife, and going in to her, I found her not a virgin:

    ¹⁵Her father and mother shall take her, and shall bring with them the tokens of her virginity to the ancients of the city that are in the gate:

    ¹⁶And the father shall say: I gave my daughter unto this man to wife: and because he hateth her,

    ¹⁷He layeth to her charge a very ill name, so as to say: I found not thy daughter a virgin: and behold these are the tokens of my daughter's virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the ancients of the city:

    ¹⁸And the ancients of that city shall take that man, and beat him,

    ¹⁹Condemning him besides in a hundred sides of silver, which he shall give to the damsel's father, because he hath defamed by a very ill name a virgin of Israel: and he shall have her to wife, and may not put her away all the days of his life.

    ²⁰But if what he charged her with be true, and virginity be not found in the damsel:

    ²¹They shall cast her out of the doors of her father's house, and the men of the city shall stone her to death, and she shall die: because she hath done a wicked thing in Israel, to play the whore in her father's house: and thou shalt take away the evil out of the midst of thee.

    ²²If a man lie with another man's wife, they shall both die, that is to say, the adulterer and the adulteress: and thou shalt take away the evil out of Israel.

    ²³If a man have espoused a damsel that is a virgin, and some one find her in the city, and lie with her,

    ²⁴Thou shalt bring them both out to the gate of that city, and they shall be stoned: the damsel, because she cried not out, being in the city: the man, because he hath humbled his neighbour's wife. And thou shalt take away the evil from the midst of thee.

    ²⁵But if a man find a damsel that is betrothed, in the field, and taking hold of her, lie with her, he alone shall die:

    ²⁶The damsel shall suffer nothing, neither is she guilty of death : for as a robber riseth against his brother, and taketh away his life, so also did the damsel suffer:

    ²⁷She was alone in the field: she cried, and there was no man to help her.

    ²⁸If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, who is not espoused, and taking her, lie with her, and the matter come to judgment :

    ²⁹He that lay with her shall give to the father of the maid fifty sides of silver, and shall have her to wife, because he hath humbled her: he may not put her away all the days of his life.

    ³⁰No man shall take his father's wife, nor remove his covering.

    ¹²Thou shalt have a place without the camp, to which thou mayst go for the necessities of nature,

    ¹³Carrying a paddle at thy girdle. And when thou sittest down, thou shalt dig round about, and with the earth that is dug up thou shalt cover

    ¹⁴That which thou art eased of: (for the Lord thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thy enemies to thee:) and let thy camp be holy, and let no uncleanness appear therein, lest he go away from thee.
