22 “如果你看見你兄弟的牛或羊走迷了,你不可不理,總要把牠們牽回你的兄弟那裡。 如果你的兄弟離你很遠,或是你不認識他,你就要把牠牽到你家中,留在你那裡,等到你的兄弟來尋找牠,你就還給他。 對他的驢,你要這樣行;對你的兄弟失去而被你找到的任何東西,你都要這樣行,不可不理。 如果你看見你兄弟的驢或牛跌倒在路上,你不可不理,總要幫助他把牠們拉起來。

“婦女不可穿男子的服裝;男子也不可穿婦人的衣服;因為這樣作的人,都是耶和華你的 神厭惡的。

“如果你在路上遇見鳥窩,或是在樹上,或是在地上;裡面有雛鳥,或是有蛋;母鳥伏在雛鳥身上,或在蛋上;你不可連母帶子一起取去; 總要讓母鳥飛去,只可以取子;這樣你就可以得著好處,得享長壽。

“如果你建造新房屋,要在屋頂上作欄杆;免得有人從那裡跌下來,流血的罪就歸到你家。

“不可把兩樣的種子撒在你的葡萄園裡,免得你所種的全部收成和葡萄園的出產,都要被充公歸與聖所(“要被充公歸與聖所”或譯:“受到玷污”)。 10 你不可用牛和驢一同耕地。 11 不可穿羊毛和細麻混合織成的布料。

12 “你要在所披的外衣上,四邊做繸子。

貞操的條例

13 “如果人娶妻,和她同房之後,就恨她, 14 捏造可恥的事毀謗她,破壞她的名譽,說:‘我娶了這個女子,和她親近的時候,發現她沒有貞潔的憑據。’ 15 那少女的父母就要把那少女的貞潔憑據拿出來,帶到城門去見本城的長老。 16 少女的父親要對長老說:‘我把我的女兒給這人作妻子,他卻恨她, 17 捏造可恥的事毀謗她,說:“我發現你的女兒沒有貞潔的憑據。”其實這就是我女兒的憑據。’於是,他們就把衣服鋪在那城的長老面前。 18 那城的長老要把那人捉住,懲罰他, 19 罰他一千一百四十克銀子,交給那少女的父親,因為他破壞了一個以色列處女的名譽;那少女仍要作他的妻子,終生不能休她。 20 但如果這事是真的,少女沒有貞潔的憑據, 21 就要把那少女帶到她父家的門口,本城的人要用石頭把她打死,因為她在以色列中作了醜事,在她父家行了淫亂;這樣,你就把那惡從你們中間除去。

22 “如果發現有人和有夫之婦同寢,就要把姦夫淫婦二人都處死;這樣,你就把那惡從以色列中除掉了。

23 “如果有個少女,本來是處女,已經許配了人,有人在城裡遇見了她,和她同寢, 24 你們就要把他們二人帶到當地的城門口,用石頭打死他們。那少女該死,是因為她雖在城裡,卻沒有呼叫;那男人該死,是因為他玷污了鄰舍的妻子;這樣,你就把那惡從你們中間除掉。 25 如果有人在田間遇見了已經許配人的少女,拉住她,和她同寢,只要把那和她同寢的人處死。 26 但你不可對付那少女,她並沒有該死的罪。這件事就像一個人忽然起來攻擊自己的鄰舍,你把他殺了一樣。 27 因為那人在田間遇見那少女,那已經許配人的少女呼叫了,卻沒有人救她。

28 “如果有人遇見一個少女,原是處女,還沒有許配過人,就抓住她,和她同寢,又被人發現, 29 那和她同寢的人就要把五百七十克銀子給那少女的父親,那少女要歸作他的妻子,因為他玷污了她;他終生不能休她。

30 “人不可娶父親的妻子,也不可揭開父親的衣襟。”(本節在《馬索拉文本》為23:1)

Various Laws

22 “You (A)shall not see your brother's ox or his sheep going astray and ignore them. You shall take them back to your brother. And if he does not live near you and you do not know who he is, you shall bring it home to your house, and it shall stay with you until your brother seeks it. Then you shall restore it to him. And you shall do the same with his donkey or with his garment, or with any lost thing of your brother's, which he loses and you find; you may not ignore it. (B)You shall not see your brother's donkey or his ox fallen down by the way and ignore them. You shall help him to lift them up again.

“A woman shall not wear a man's garment, nor shall a man put on a woman's cloak, (C)for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God.

“If you come across a bird's nest in any tree or on the ground, with young ones or eggs and the mother sitting on the young or on the eggs, (D)you shall not take the mother with the young. You shall let the mother go, but the young you may take for yourself, (E)that it may go well with you, and that you may live long.

“When you build a new house, you shall make a parapet for your roof, that you may not bring the guilt of blood upon your house, if anyone should fall from it.

(F)“You shall not sow your vineyard with two kinds of seed, lest the whole yield be forfeited,[a] the crop that you have sown and the yield of the vineyard. 10 You shall not plow with an ox and a donkey together. 11 You shall not wear cloth of wool and linen mixed together.

12 (G)“You shall make yourself tassels on the four corners of the garment with which you cover yourself.

Laws Concerning Sexual Immorality

13 “If any man takes a wife and (H)goes in to her and then hates her 14 and accuses her of misconduct and brings a bad name upon her, saying, ‘I took this woman, and when I came near her, I did not find in her evidence of virginity,’ 15 then the father of the young woman and her mother shall take and bring out the evidence of her virginity to the elders of the city in the gate. 16 And the father of the young woman shall say to the elders, ‘I gave my daughter to this man to marry, and he hates her; 17 and behold, he has accused her of misconduct, saying, “I did not find in your daughter evidence of virginity.” And yet this is the evidence of my daughter's virginity.’ And they shall spread the cloak before the elders of the city. 18 Then the elders of that city shall take the man and whip[b] him, 19 and they shall fine him a hundred shekels[c] of silver and give them to the father of the young woman, because he has brought a bad name upon a virgin[d] of Israel. And she shall be his wife. (I)He may not divorce her all his days. 20 But if the thing is true, that evidence of virginity was not found in the young woman, 21 then they shall bring out the young woman to the door of her father's house, and (J)the men of her city shall stone her to death with stones, because she has (K)done an outrageous thing in Israel by whoring in her father's house. (L)So you shall purge the evil from your midst.

22 (M)“If a man is found lying with the wife of another man, both of them shall die, the man who lay with the woman, and the woman. (N)So you shall purge the evil from Israel.

23 “If there is a (O)betrothed virgin, and a man meets 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 young woman because she did not cry for help though she was in the city, and the man because he violated his neighbor's wife. (P)So you shall purge the evil from your midst.

25 “But if in the open country a man meets a young woman who is betrothed, and the man seizes her and lies with her, then only the man who lay with her shall die. 26 But you shall do nothing to the young woman; she has committed no offense punishable by death. For this case is like that of a man attacking and murdering his neighbor, 27 because he met her in the open country, and though the betrothed young woman cried for help there was no one to rescue her.

28 (Q)“If a man meets a virgin who is not betrothed, and seizes her and lies with her, and they are found, 29 then the man who lay with her shall give to the father of the young woman fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife, because he has violated her. He may not divorce her all his days.

30 [e] (R)“A man shall not take his father's wife, so that he does not (S)uncover his father's nakedness.[f]

22 Thou shalt not see thy brother's ox or his sheep go astray, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt in any case bring them again unto thy brother.

And if thy brother be not nigh unto thee, or if thou know him not, then thou shalt bring it unto thine own house, and it shall be with thee until thy brother seek after it, and thou shalt restore it to him again.

In like manner shalt thou do with his ass; and so shalt thou do with his raiment; and with all lost thing of thy brother's, which he hath lost, and thou hast found, shalt thou do likewise: thou mayest not hide thyself.

Thou shalt not see thy brother's ass or his ox fall down by the way, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt surely help him to lift them up again.

The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the Lord thy God.

If a bird's nest chance to be before thee in the way in any tree, or on the ground, whether they be young ones, or eggs, and the dam sitting upon the young, or upon the eggs, thou shalt not take the dam with the young:

But thou shalt in any wise let the dam go, and take the young to thee; that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days.

When thou buildest a new house, then thou shalt make a battlement for thy roof, that thou bring not blood upon thine house, if any man fall from thence.

Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with divers seeds: lest the fruit of thy seed which thou hast sown, and the fruit of thy vineyard, be defiled.

10 Thou shalt not plow with an ox and an ass together.

11 Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts, as of woollen and linen together.

12 Thou shalt make thee fringes upon the four quarters of thy vesture, wherewith thou coverest thyself.

13 If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate her,

14 And give occasions of speech against her, and bring up an evil name upon her, and say, I took this woman, and when I came to her, I found her not a maid:

15 Then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth the tokens of the damsel's virginity unto the elders of the city in the gate:

16 And the damsel's father shall say unto the elders, I gave my daughter unto this man to wife, and he hateth her;

17 And, lo, he hath given occasions of speech against her, saying, I found not thy daughter a maid; and yet these are the tokens of my daughter's virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city.

18 And the elders of that city shall take that man and chastise him;

19 And they shall amerce him in an hundred shekels of silver, and give them unto the father of the damsel, because he hath brought up an evil name upon a virgin of Israel: and she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days.

20 But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel:

21 Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die: because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the whore in her father's house: so shalt thou put evil away from among you.

22 If a man be found lying with a woman married to an husband, then they shall both of them die, both the man that lay with the woman, and the woman: so shalt thou put away evil from Israel.

23 If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto an husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her;

24 Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbour's wife: so thou shalt put away evil from among you.

25 But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with her shall die.

26 But unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing; there is in the damsel no sin worthy of death: for as when a man riseth against his neighbour, and slayeth him, even so is this matter:

27 For he found her in the field, and the betrothed damsel cried, and there was none to save her.

28 If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;

29 Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days.

30 A man shall not take his father's wife, nor discover his father's skirt.
