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)

其他条例

22 “如果你们看见同胞的牛或羊走迷了路,不可视而不见,要把它带回去交给主人。 如果主人离你们很远,或者你们不知道主人是谁,就要把它牵回家,等主人来找时再还给主人。 见到同胞遗失的驴、衣物或其他东西,都要这样处理,不可视而不见。 如果在路上看见同胞的牛或驴倒在地上,不可视而不见,要帮忙把它扶起来。

“女人不可穿戴男人的衣物,男人也不可穿戴女人的衣物,因为这是你们的上帝耶和华所憎恶的。

“如果你们在路边、树上或地上看见鸟巢,里面有雏鸟或蛋,并有母鸟伏在上面,不可把母鸟和雏鸟一起取走。 你们可以取走雏鸟,但要放走母鸟。这样,你们就会凡事顺利,得享长寿。

“建造新房时,要在房顶[a]上安设围栏,免得有人从房顶上掉下来,由你们承担流血之罪。

“你们不可在葡萄园里种别的作物,否则你们的收成和园中的果子都要充公。 10 不可让牛和驴同负一轭耕地。 11 不可穿由羊毛和细麻合织的衣物。

12 “要在外袍的四角缀上穗子。

有关女子贞操的条例

13 “如果有人娶了妻子,与她同房后却不喜欢她, 14 诽谤她,说,‘我娶她时,发现她已经不是处女’, 15 女方父母就要把凭据拿到城门口的长老们面前,证明女儿的贞洁。 16 女方的父亲要对他们说,‘我把女儿嫁给这个人,现在他不喜欢我女儿, 17 诽谤她,声称她结婚时已经不是处女,但这里有我女儿贞洁的凭据。’女方父母要把女儿新婚之夜用过的床单在长老们面前展开。 18 长老们就必须抓住那人惩处他, 19 罚他赔偿一公斤银子给女方的父亲,因为他诽谤了一个以色列的处女。那女子仍要做他妻子,丈夫终生不可休她。

20 “但如果那人的指控属实,没有找到那女子贞洁的凭据, 21 就要把她带到她父亲的家门前,由本城的人用石头打死她。因为她婚前淫乱,在以色列做了可耻的事。你们必须除掉你们中间的罪恶。

22 “如果有人与有夫之妇通奸,必须处死奸夫和淫妇,这样就从以色列除掉了罪恶。

23 “如果有人在城中遇见已经订婚的女子,与她行淫, 24 你们必须把二人带到城门口,用石头打死他们。那女子该死,因为她在城中却没有高声呼救;那男子该死,因为他奸污了别人的妻子。你们必须除去你们中间的罪恶。

25 “如果有人在野外遇见已经订婚的女子,强奸了她,必须处死那男子。 26 但不可处死那女子,因为她没有犯该死的罪,她像被攻击、杀害的人一样是无辜的。 27 因为她是在野外被强奸,即使喊叫也无人救她。

28 “如果有人强奸了未订婚的处女,被抓住后, 29 这人要付给女方的父亲六百克银子,并娶她为妻,终生不可休她,因为他奸污了她。

30 “人不可娶他父亲的妻妾,因为这是对他父亲的羞辱。

  1. 22:8 以色列人的房子都是平顶房。

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)

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.
