Return it promptly. If your fellow Israelite >> is not close by or you don't know whose it is, take the animal home with >> you and take care of it >> until your fellow asks about it. Then return it to him. >> Do the same if it's his donkey or a piece of clothing or anything else >> your fellow Israelite loses. >> Don't look the other way as if you didn't see it. >> >> 4 If you see your fellow's donkey or ox injured along the road, don't >> look >> the other way. Help him >> get it up and on its way. >> >> 5 A woman must not wear a man's clothing, nor a man wear women's >> clothing. >> This kind of thing is an >> abomination to God, your God. >> >> 6-7 When you come across a bird's nest alongside the road, whether in a >> tree or on the ground, and >> the mother is sitting on the young or on the eggs, don't >> take the mother with the young. You may take the babies, but let the >> mother go so that you will live >> a good and long life. >> >> 8 When you build a new house, make a parapet around your roof to make it >> safe so that someone >> doesn't fall off and die and your family become responsible >> for the death. >> >> 9 Don't plant two kinds of seed in your vineyard. If you do, you will >> forfeit what you've sown, the >> total production of the vineyard. >> >> 10 Don't plow with an ox and a donkey yoked together. >> >> 11 Don't wear clothes of mixed fabrics, wool and linen together. >> >> 12 Make tassels on the four corners of the cloak you use to cover >> yourself. >> >> 13-19 If a man marries a woman, sleeps with her, and then turns on her, >> calling her a slut, giving >> her a bad name, saying, "I married this woman, but when >> I slept with her I discovered she wasn't a virgin," then the father and >> mother of the girl are to >> take her with the proof of her virginity to the town >> leaders at the gate. The father is to tell the leaders, "I gave my >> daughter to this man as wife and >> he turned on her, rejecting her. And now he has slanderously >> accused her, claiming that she wasn't a virgin. But look at this, here is >> the proof of my daughter's >> virginity." And then he is to spread out her bloodstained >> wedding garment before the leaders for their examination. The town >> leaders >> then are to take the >> husband, whip him, fine him a hundred pieces of silver, >> and give it to the father of the girl. The man gave a virgin girl of >> Israel a bad name. He has to >> keep her as his wife and can never divorce her. >> >> 20-21 But if it turns out that the accusation is true and there is no >> evidence of the girl's >> virginity, the men of the town are to take her to the door >> of her father's house and stone her to death. She acted disgracefully in >> Israel. She lived like a >> whore while still in her parents' home. Purge the evil >> from among you. >> >> 22 If a man is found sleeping with another man's wife, both must die. >> Purge that evil from Israel. >> >> 23-24 If a man comes upon a virgin in town, a girl who is engaged to >> another man, and sleeps with >> her, take both of them to the town gate and stone them >> until they die-the girl because she didn't yell out for help in the town >> and the man because he >> raped her, violating the fiancee of his neighbor. You must >> purge the evil from among you. >> >> 25-27 But if it was out in the country that the man found the engaged >> girl >> and grabbed and raped >> her, only the man is to die, the man who raped her. Don't >> do anything to the girl; she did nothing wrong. This is similar to the >> case of a man who comes >> across his neighbor out in the country and murders him; >> when the engaged girl yelled out for help, there was no one around to >> hear >> or help her. >> >> 28-29 When a man comes upon a virgin who has never been engaged and grabs >> and rapes her and they >> are found out, the man who raped her has to give her father >> fifty pieces of silver. He has to marry her because he took advantage of >> her. And he can never >> divorce her. >> >> 30 A man may not marry his father's ex-wife-that would violate his >> father's rights. >> >> Deuteronomy 23 >> 1 No eunuch is to enter the congregation of God. 2 No bastard is to enter >> the congregation of God, >> even to the tenth generation, nor any of his children. >> >> 3-6 No Ammonite or Moabite is to enter the congregation of God, even to >> the tenth generation, nor >> any of his children, ever. Those nations didn't treat >> you with hospitality on your travels out of Egypt, and on top of that >> they >> also hired Balaam son of >> Beor from Pethor in Mesopotamia to curse you. God, >> your God, refused to listen to Balaam but turned the curse into a >> blessing-how God, your God, loves >> you! Don't even try to get along with them or do anything >> for them, ever. >> >> 7 But don't spurn an Edomite; he's your kin. >> >> And don't spurn an Egyptian; you were a foreigner in his land. >> >> 8 Children born to Edomites and Egyptians may enter the congregation of >> God in the third >> generation. >> >> 9-11 When you are camped out, at war with your enemies, be careful to >> keep >> yourself from anything >> ritually defiling. If one of your men has become ritually >> unclean because of a nocturnal emission, he must go outside the camp and >> stay there until evening >> when he can wash himself, returning to the camp at sunset. >> >> 12-14 Mark out an area outside the camp where you can go to relieve >> yourselves. Along with your >> weapons have a stick with you. After you relieve yourself, >> dig a hole with the stick and cover your excrement. God, your God, >> strolls >> through your camp; he's >> present to deliver you and give you victory over your >> enemies. Keep your camp holy; don't permit anything indecent or offensive >> in God's eyes. >> >> 15-16 Don't return a runaway slave to his master; he's come to you for >> refuge. Let him live wherever >> he wishes within the protective gates of your city. >> Don't take advantage of him. >> >> 17-18 No daughter of Israel is to become a sacred prostitute; and no son >> of Israel is to become a >> sacred prostitute. And don't bring the fee of a sacred >> whore or the earnings of a priest-pimp to the house of God, your God, to >> pay for any vow-they are >> both an abomination to God, your God. >> >> 19-20 Don't charge interest to your kinsmen on any loan: not for money or >> food or clothing or >> anything else that could earn interest. You may charge foreigners >> interest, but you may not charge your brothers interest; that way God, >> your God, will bless all the >> work that you take up and the land that you are entering >> to possess. >> >> 21-23 When you make a vow to God, your God, don't put off keeping it; >> God, >> your God, expects you to >> keep it and if you don't you're guilty. But if you >> don't make a vow in the first place, there's no sin. If you say you're >> going to do something, do it. >> Keep the vow you willingly vowed to God, your God. >> You promised it, so do it. >> >> 24-25 When you enter your neighbor's vineyard, you may eat all the grapes >> you want until you're >> full, but you may not put any in your bucket or bag. And >> when you walk through the ripe grain of your neighbor, you may pick the >> heads of grain, but you may >> not swing your sickle there. >> >> Deuteronomy 24 >> 1-4 If a man marries a woman and then it happens that he no longer likes >> her because he has found >> something wrong with her, he may give her divorce papers, >> put them in her hand, and send her off. After she leaves, if she becomes >> another man's wife and he >> also comes to hate her and this second husband also >> gives her divorce papers, puts them in her hand, and sends her off, or if >> he should die, then the >> first husband who divorced her can't marry her again. >> She has made herself ritually unclean, and her remarriage would be an >> abomination in the Presence of >> God and defile the land with sin, this land that God, >> your God, is giving you as an inheritance. >> >> 5 When a man takes a new wife, he is not to go out with the army or be >> given any business or work >> duties. He gets one year off simply to be at home making >> his wife happy. >> >> 6 Don't seize a handmill or an upper millstone as collateral for a loan. >> You'd be seizing someone's >> very life. >> >> 7 If a man is caught kidnapping one of his kinsmen, someone of the People >> of Israel, to enslave or >> sell him, the kidnapper must die. Purge that evil from >> among you. >> >> 8-9 Warning! If a serious skin disease breaks out, follow exactly the >> rules set down by the >> Levitical priests. Follow them precisely as I commanded them. >> Don't forget what God, your God, did to Miriam on your way out of Egypt. >> >> 10-13 When you make a loan of any kind to your neighbor, don't enter his >> house to claim his pledge. >> Wait outside. Let the man to whom you made the pledge >> bring the pledge to you outside. And if he is destitute, don't use his >> cloak as a bedroll; return it >> to him at nightfall so that he can sleep in his cloak >> and bless you. In the sight of God, your God, that will be viewed as a >> righteous act. >> >> 14-15 Don't abuse a laborer who is destitute and needy, whether he is a >> fellow Israelite living in >> your land and in your city. Pay him at the end of each >> workday; he's living from hand to mouth and needs it now. If you hold >> back >> his pay, he'll protest to >> God and you'll have sin on your books. >> >> 16 Parents shall not be put to death for their children, nor children for >> their parents. Each >> person shall be put to death for his own sin. >> >> 17-18 Make sure foreigners and orphans get their just rights. Don't take >> the cloak of a widow as >> security for a loan. Don't ever forget that you were once >> slaves in Egypt and God, your God, got you out of there. I command you: >> Do >> what I'm telling you. >> >> 19-22 When you harvest your grain and forget a sheaf back in the field, >> don't go back and get it; >> leave it for the foreigner, the orphan, and the widow >> so that God, your God, will bless you in all your work. When you shake >> the >> olives off your trees, >> don't go back over the branches and strip them bare-what's >> left is for the foreigner, the orphan, and the widow. And when you cut >> the >> grapes in your vineyard, >> don't take every last grape-leave a few for the foreigner, >> the orphan, and the widow. Don't ever forget that you were a slave in >> Egypt. I command you: Do what >> I'm telling you. >> >> Please join us on Skype Monday thru Friday at 8:00 EST for our Morning >> Skype Prayer Time. >> >> >> Contact Me At: >> Donnie Parrett >> 1956 Asa Flat Road >> Annville, Kentucky 40402 >> Home Phone: 606-364-3321 >> Church Phone: 606-364-PRAY >> Skype Name: Donnie1261 >> Email: [email protected] >> >> > > > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Deaf-Blind Inspirational Life Group" group.
