22:1 When thou seest the calf of thy brother
or his sheep wandering in the way, thou shalt not overlook them; thou shalt
by all means turn them back to thy brother, and thou shalt restore them to
him.
22:2 And if thy brother do not come nigh thee, and thou dost not know him,
thou shalt bring it into thy house within; and it shall be with thee until
thy brother shall seek them, and thou shalt restore them to him.
22:3 Thus shalt thou do to his ass, and thus shalt thou do to his garment,
and thus shalt thou do to every thing that thy brother has lost; whatsoever
shall have been lost by him, and thou shalt have found, thou shalt not have
power to overlook.
22:4 Thou shalt not see the ass of thy brother, or his calf, fallen in the
way: thou shalt not overlook them, thou shalt surely help him to raise them
up.
22:5 The apparel of a man shall not be on a woman, neither shall a man put
on a woman's dress; for every one that does these things is an abomination
to Yehovah thy Elohim.
22:6 And if thou shouldest come upon a brood of birds before thy face in the
way or upon any tree, or upon the earth, young or eggs, and the mother be
brooding on the young or the eggs, thou shalt not take the dam with the
young ones.
22:7 Thou shalt by all means let the mother go, but thou shalt take the
young to thyself; that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest live
long.
22:8 If thou shouldest build a new house, then shalt thou make a parapet to
thy house; so thou shalt not bring blood-guiltiness upon thy house, if one
should in any wise fall from it.
22:9 Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with diverse seed, lest the fruit be
devoted, and whatsoever seed thou mayest sow, with the fruit of thy
vineyard.
22:10 Thou shalt not plough with an ox and an ass together.
22:11 Thou shalt not wear a mingled [garment], woollen and linen together.
22:12 Thou shalt make fringes on the four borders of thy garments, with
which soever thou mayest be clothed.
22:13 And if any one should take a wife, and dwell with her, and hate her,
22:14 and attach to her reproachful words, and bring against her an evil
name, and say, I took this woman, and when I came to her I found not her
tokens of virginity:
22:15 then the father and the mother of the damsel shall take and bring out
the damsel's tokens of virginity to the elders of the city to the gate.
22:16 And the father of the damsel shall say to the elders, I gave this my
daughter to this man for a wife;
22:17 and now he has hated her, and attaches reproachful words to her,
saying, I have not found tokens of virginity with thy daughter; and these
[are] the tokens of my daughter's virginity. And they shall unfold the
garment before the elders of the city.
22:18 And the elders of that city shall take that man, and shall chastise
him,
22:19 and shall fine him a hundred shekels, and shall give [them] to the
father of the damsel, because he has brought forth an evil name against a
virgin of Israel; and she shall be his wife: he shall never be able to put
her away.
22:20 But if this report be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found
for the damsel;
22:21 then shall they bring out the damsel to the doors of her father's
house, and shall stone her with stones, and she shall die; because she has
wrought folly among the children of Israel, to defile the house of her
father by whoring: so thou shalt remove the evil one from among you.
22:22 And if a man be found lying with a woman married to a man, ye shall
kill them both, the man that lay with the woman, and the woman: so shalt
thou remove the wicked one out of Israel.
22:23 And if there be a young damsel espoused to a man, and a man should
have found her in the city and have lain with her;
22:24 ye shall bring them both out to the gate of their city, and they shall
be stoned with stones, and they shall die; the damsel, because she cried not
in the city; and the man, because he humbled his neighbour's spouse: so
shalt thou remove the evil one from yourselves.
22:25 But if a man find in the field a damsel that is betrothed, and he
should force her and lie with her, ye shall slay the man that lay with her
only.
22:26 And the damsel has not [committed] a sin worthy of death; as if a man
should rise up against his neighbour, and slay him, so [is] this thing;
22:27 because he found her in the field; the betrothed damsel cried, and
there was none to help her.
22:28 And if any one should find a young virgin who has not been betrothed,
and should force [her] and lie with her, and be found,
22:29 the man who lay with her shall give to the father of the damsel fifty
silver didrachms, and she shall be his wife, because he has humble her; he
shall never be able to put her away.
22:30 A man shall not take his father's wife, and shall not uncover his
father's skirt. |
22:1 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.
22:2 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.
22:3 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.
22:4 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.
22:5 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 Yehovah thy Elohim.
22:6 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:
22:7 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.
22:8 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.
22:9 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.
22:10 Thou shalt not plow with an ox and an ass together.
22:11 Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts, as of woolen and linen
together.
22:12 Thou shalt make thee fringes upon the four quarters of thy vesture,
wherewith thou coverest thyself.
22:13 If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate her,
22:14 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:
22:15 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:
22:16 And the damsel's father shall say unto the elders, I gave my daughter
unto this man to wife, and he hateth her;
22:17 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.
22:18 And the elders of that city shall take that man and chastise him;
22:19 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.
22:20 But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found
for the damsel:
22:21 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.
22:22 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.
22:23 If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto an husband, and a man
find her in the city, and lie with her;
22:24 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 neighbor's
wife: so thou shalt put away evil from among you.
22:25 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.
22:26 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 neighbor, and
slayeth him, even so is this matter:
22:27 For he found her in the field, and the betrothed damsel cried, and
there was none to save her.
22:28 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;
22:29 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.
22:30 A man shall not take his father's wife, nor discover his father's
skirt. |
