應守之數例

22 「你若看見弟兄的牛或羊失迷了路,不可佯為不見,總要把牠牽回來交給你的弟兄。 你弟兄若離你遠,或是你不認識他,就要牽到你家去,留在你那裡,等你弟兄來尋找就還給他。 你的弟兄無論失落什麼,或是驢,或是衣服,你若遇見,都要這樣行,不可佯為不見。 你若看見弟兄的牛或驢跌倒在路上,不可佯為不見,總要幫助他拉起來。

「婦女不可穿戴男子所穿戴的,男子也不可穿婦女的衣服,因為這樣行都是耶和華你神所憎惡的。

「你若路上遇見鳥窩,或在樹上或在地上,裡頭有雛或有蛋,母鳥伏在雛上或在蛋上,你不可連母帶雛一併取去。 總要放母,只可取雛,這樣你就可以享福,日子得以長久。

「你若建造房屋,要在房上的四圍安欄杆,免得有人從房上掉下來,流血的罪就歸於你家。

「不可把兩樣種子種在你的葡萄園裡,免得你撒種所結的和葡萄園的果子都要充公。 10 不可並用牛、驢耕地。 11 不可穿羊毛、細麻兩樣摻雜料做的衣服。

12 「你要在所披的外衣上四圍做穗子。

禁止行淫

13 「人若娶妻,與她同房之後恨惡她, 14 信口說她,將醜名加在她身上,說:『我娶了這女子,與她同房,見她沒有貞潔的憑據。』 15 女子的父母就要把女子貞潔的憑據拿出來,帶到本城門長老那裡。 16 女子的父親要對長老說:『我將我的女兒給這人為妻,他恨惡她, 17 信口說她,說:「我見你的女兒沒有貞潔的憑據。」其實,這就是我女兒貞潔的憑據。』父母就把那布鋪在本城的長老面前。 18 本城的長老要拿住那人,懲治他, 19 並要罰他一百舍客勒銀子,給女子的父親,因為他將醜名加在以色列的一個處女身上。女子仍做他的妻,終身不可休她。 20 但這事若是真的,女子沒有貞潔的憑據, 21 就要將女子帶到她父家的門口,本城的人要用石頭將她打死,因為她在父家行了淫亂,在以色列中做了醜事。這樣,就把那惡從你們中間除掉。

22 「若遇見人與有丈夫的婦人行淫,就要將姦夫淫婦一併治死。這樣,就把那惡從以色列中除掉。

23 「若有處女已經許配丈夫,有人在城裡遇見她,與她行淫, 24 你們就要把這二人帶到本城門,用石頭打死:女子是因為雖在城裡卻沒有喊叫,男子是因為玷汙別人的妻。這樣,就把那惡從你們中間除掉。

25 「若有男子在田野遇見已經許配人的女子,強與她行淫,只要將那男子治死。 26 但不可辦女子,她本沒有該死的罪,這事就類乎人起來攻擊鄰舍,將他殺了一樣。 27 因為男子是在田野遇見那已經許配人的女子,女子喊叫,並無人救她。

28 「若有男子遇見沒有許配人的處女,抓住她,與她行淫,被人看見, 29 這男子就要拿五十舍客勒銀子給女子的父親。因他玷汙了這女子,就要娶她為妻,終身不可休她。

30 「人不可娶繼母為妻,不可掀開他父親的衣襟。

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.

22 If you see your fellow Israelite’s ox or sheep straying, do not ignore it but be sure to take it back to its owner.(A) If they do not live near you or if you do not know who owns it, take it home with you and keep it until they come looking for it. Then give it back. Do the same if you find their donkey or cloak or anything else they have lost. Do not ignore it.

If you see your fellow Israelite’s donkey(B) or ox fallen on the road, do not ignore it. Help the owner get it to its feet.(C)

A woman must not wear men’s clothing, nor a man wear women’s clothing, for the Lord your God detests anyone who does this.

If you come across a bird’s nest beside the road, either in a tree or on the ground, and the mother is sitting on the young or on the eggs, do not take the mother with the young.(D) You may take the young, but be sure to let the mother go,(E) so that it may go well with you and you may have a long life.(F)

When you build a new house, make a parapet around your roof so that you may not bring the guilt of bloodshed on your house if someone falls from the roof.(G)

Do not plant two kinds of seed in your vineyard;(H) if you do, not only the crops you plant but also the fruit of the vineyard will be defiled.[a]

10 Do not plow with an ox and a donkey yoked together.(I)

11 Do not wear clothes of wool and linen woven together.(J)

12 Make tassels on the four corners of the cloak you wear.(K)

Marriage Violations

13 If a man takes a wife and, after sleeping with her(L), dislikes her 14 and slanders her and gives her a bad name, saying, “I married this woman, but when I approached her, I did not find proof of her virginity,” 15 then the young woman’s father and mother shall bring to the town elders at the gate(M) proof that she was a virgin. 16 Her father will say to the elders, “I gave my daughter in marriage to this man, but he dislikes her. 17 Now he has slandered her and said, ‘I did not find your daughter to be a virgin.’ But here is the proof of my daughter’s virginity.” Then her parents shall display the cloth before the elders of the town, 18 and the elders(N) shall take the man and punish him. 19 They shall fine him a hundred shekels[b] of silver and give them to the young woman’s father, because this man has given an Israelite virgin a bad name. She shall continue to be his wife; he must not divorce her as long as he lives.

20 If, however, the charge is true(O) and no proof of the young woman’s virginity can be found, 21 she shall be brought to the door of her father’s house and there the men of her town shall stone her to death. She has done an outrageous thing(P) in Israel by being promiscuous while still in her father’s house. You must purge the evil from among you.

22 If a man is found sleeping with another man’s wife, both the man who slept(Q) with her and the woman must die.(R) You must purge the evil from Israel.

23 If a man happens to meet in a town a virgin pledged to be married and he sleeps with her, 24 you shall take both of them to the gate of that town and stone them to death—the young woman because she was in a town and did not scream for help, and the man because he violated another man’s wife. You must purge the evil from among you.(S)

25 But if out in the country a man happens to meet a young woman pledged to be married and rapes her, only the man who has done this shall die. 26 Do nothing to the woman; she has committed no sin deserving death. This case is like that of someone who attacks and murders a neighbor, 27 for the man found the young woman out in the country, and though the betrothed woman screamed,(T) there was no one to rescue her.

28 If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered,(U) 29 he shall pay her father fifty shekels[c] of silver. He must marry the young woman, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives.

30 A man is not to marry his father’s wife; he must not dishonor his father’s bed.[d](V)
