Devarim, starting at chapter 22
{22:1} You shall not see your brother's ox or his sheep go astray,
and hide yourself from them: you shall surely bring them again to your
brother. {22:2} If your brother isn't near to you, or if you don't
know him, then you shall bring it home to your house, and it shall be
with you until your brother seek after it, and you shall restore it to
him. {22:3} So shall you do with his donkey; and so shall you do with
his garment; and so shall you do with every lost thing of your
brother's, which he has lost, and you have found: you may not hide
yourself. {22:4} You shall not see your brother's donkey or his ox
fallen down by the way, and hide yourself from them: you shall surely
help him to lift them up again. {22:5} A woman shall not wear men's
clothing, neither shall a man put on women's clothing; for whoever
does these things is an abomination to the LORD your God. {22:6} If a
bird's nest chance to be before you in the way, in any tree or on the
ground, with young ones or eggs, and the hen sitting on the young, or
on the eggs, you shall not take the hen with the young: {22:7} you
shall surely let the hen go, but the young you may take to yourself;
that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days.
{22:8} When you build a new house, then you shall make a battlement
for your roof, that you don't bring blood on your house, if any man
fall from there. {22:9} You shall not sow your vineyard with two kinds
of seed, lest the whole fruit be forfeited, the seed which you have
sown, and the increase of the vineyard. {22:10} You shall not plow
with an ox and a donkey together. {22:11} You shall not wear a mixed
stuff, wool and linen together. {22:12} You shall make you
[1>]tzitziyot[<1] on the four borders of your cloak, with which you
cover yourself. {22:13} If any man take a wife, and go in to her, and
hate her, {22:14} and lay shameful things to her charge, and bring up
an evil name on her, and say, I took this woman, and when I came near
to her, I didn't find in her the tokens of virginity; {22:15} then
shall the father of the young lady, and her mother, take and bring
forth the tokens of the young lady's virginity to the Zakenim of the
city in the gate; {22:16} and the young lady's father shall tell the
Zakenim, I gave my daughter to this man to wife, and he hates her;
{22:17} and, behold, he has laid shameful things [to her charge],
saying, I didn't find in your daughter the tokens of virginity; and
yet these are the tokens of my daughter's virginity. They shall spread
the garment before the Zakenim of the city. {22:18} The Zakenim of
that city shall take the man and chastise him; {22:19} and they shall
fine him one hundred [shekels] of silver, and give them to the father
of the young lady, because he has brought up an evil name on a virgin
of Yisra'el: and she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all
his days. {22:20} But if this thing be true, that the tokens of
virginity were not found in the young lady; {22:21} then they shall
bring out the young lady to the door of her father's house, and the
men of her city shall stone her to death with stones, because she has
done folly in Yisra'el, to play the prostitute in her father's house:
so shall you put away the evil from the midst of you. {22:22} If a man
be found lying with a woman married to a husband, then they shall both
of them die, the man who lay with the woman, and the woman: so shall
you put away the evil from Yisra'el. {22:23} If there be a young lady
who is a virgin pledged to be married to a husband, and a man find her
in the city, and lie with her; {22:24} then you shall bring them both
out to the gate of that city, and you shall stone them to death with
stones; the lady, because she didn't cry, being in the city; and the
man, because he has humbled his neighbor's wife: so you shall put away
the evil from the midst of you. {22:25} But if the man find the lady
who is pledged to be married in the field, and the man force her, and
lie with her; then the man only who lay with her shall die: {22:26}
but to the lady you shall do nothing; there is in the lady no sin
worthy of death: for as when a man rises against his neighbor, and
kills him, even so is this matter; {22:27} for he found her in the
field, the pledged to be married lady cried, and there was none to
save her. {22:28} If a man find a lady who is a virgin, who is not
pledged to be married, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they
be found; {22:29} then the man who lay with her shall give to the
lady's father fifty [shekels] of silver, and she shall be his wife,
because he has humbled her; he may not put her away all his days.
{22:30} A man shall not take his father's wife, and shall not uncover
his father's skirt.
{23:1} He who is wounded in the stones, or has his privy member cut
off, shall not enter into the assembly of the LORD. {23:2} A bastard
shall not enter into the assembly of the LORD; even to the tenth
generation shall none of his enter into the assembly of the LORD.
{23:3} An `Ammonite or a Mo'avite shall not enter into the assembly of
the LORD; even to the tenth generation shall none belonging to them
enter into the assembly of the LORD forever: {23:4} because they
didn't meet you with bread and with water in the way, when you came
forth out of Mitzrayim, and because they hired against you Bil`am the
son of Be'or from Petor of Aram-Naharayim, to curse you. {23:5}
Nevertheless the LORD your God wouldn't listen to Bil`am; but the LORD
your God turned the curse into a blessing to you, because the LORD
your God loved you. {23:6} You shall not seek their shalom nor their
prosperity all your days forever. {23:7} You shall not abhor an
Edomite; for he is your brother: you shall not abhor a Mitzrian,
because you lived as a foreigner in his land. {23:8} The children of
the third generation who are born to them shall enter into the
assembly of the LORD. {23:9} When you go forth in camp against your
enemies, then you shall keep you from every evil thing. {23:10} If
there be among you any man, who is not clean by reason of that which
happens him by night, then shall he go abroad out of the camp, he
shall not come within the camp: {23:11} but it shall be, when evening
comes on, he shall bathe himself in water; and when the sun is down,
he shall come within the camp. {23:12} You shall have a place also
outside of the camp, where you shall go forth abroad: {23:13} and you
shall have a paddle among your weapons; and it shall be, when you sit
down abroad, you shall dig therewith, and shall turn back and cover
that which comes from you: {23:14} for the LORD your God walks in the
midst of your camp, to deliver you, and to give up your enemies before
you; therefore shall your camp be holy, that he may not see an unclean
thing in you, and turn away from you. {23:15} You shall not deliver to
his master a servant who is escaped from his master to you: {23:16} he
shall dwell with you, in the midst of you, in the place which he shall
choose within one of your gates, where it pleases him best: you shall
not oppress him. {23:17} There shall be no prostitute of the daughters
of Yisra'el, neither shall there be a sodomite of the sons of
Yisra'el. {23:18} You shall not bring the hire of a prostitute, or the
wages of a dog, into the house of the LORD your God for any vow: for
even both these are an abomination to the LORD your God. {23:19} You
shall not lend on interest to your brother; interest of money,
interest of victuals, interest of anything that is lent on interest:
{23:20} to a foreigner you may lend on interest; but to your brother
you shall not lend on interest, that the LORD your God may bless you
in all that you put your hand to, in the land where you go in to
possess it. {23:21} When you shall vow a vow to the LORD your God, you
shall not be slack to pay it: for the LORD your God will surely
require it of you; and it would be sin in you. {23:22} But if you
shall forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in you. {23:23} That which is
gone out of your lips you shall observe and do; according as you have
vowed to the LORD your God, a freewill-offering, which you have
promised with your mouth. {23:24} When you come into your neighbor's
vineyard, then you may eat of grapes your fill at your own pleasure;
but you shall not put any in your vessel. {23:25} When you come into
your neighbor's standing grain, then you may pluck the ears with your
hand; but you shall not move a sickle to your neighbor's standing
grain.
{24:1} When a man takes a wife, and marries her, then it shall be,
if she find no favor in his eyes, because he has found some unseemly
thing in her, that he shall write her a bill of divorce, and give it
in her hand, and send her out of his house. {24:2} When she is
departed out of his house, she may go and be another man's [wife].
{24:3} If the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of
divorce, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house; or if
the latter husband die, who took her to be his wife; {24:4} her former
husband, who sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife,
after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before the LORD:
and you shall not cause the land to sin, which the LORD your God gives
you for an inheritance. {24:5} When a man takes a new wife, he shall
not go out in the host, neither shall he be charged with any business:
he shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer his wife whom he
has taken. {24:6} No man shall take the mill or the upper millstone to
pledge; for he takes [a man's] life to pledge. {24:7} If a man be
found stealing any of his brothers of the children of Yisra'el, and he
deal with him as a slave, or sell him; then that thief shall die: so
shall you put away the evil from the midst of you. {24:8} Take heed in
the plague of leprosy, that you observe diligently, and do according
to all that the [1>]Kohanim[<1] the Levites shall teach you: as I
commanded them, so you shall observe to do. {24:9} Remember what the
LORD your God did to Miryam, by the way as you came forth out of
Mitzrayim. {24:10} When you do lend your neighbor any manner of loan,
you shall not go into his house to get his pledge. {24:11} You shall
stand outside, and the man to whom you do lend shall bring forth the
pledge outside to you. {24:12} If he be a poor man, you shall not
sleep with his pledge; {24:13} you shall surely restore to him the
pledge when the sun goes down, that he may sleep in his garment, and
bless you: and it shall be righteousness to you before the LORD your
God. {24:14} You shall not oppress a hired servant who is poor and
needy, whether he be of your brothers, or of your foreigners who are
in your land within your gates: {24:15} in his day you shall give him
his hire, neither shall the sun go down on it; for he is poor, and
sets his heart on it: lest he cry against you to the LORD, and it be
sin to you. {24:16} The fathers shall not be put to death for the
children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers:
every man shall be put to death for his own sin. {24:17} You shall not
wrest the justice [due] to the foreigner, [or] to the fatherless, nor
take the widow's clothing to pledge; {24:18} but you shall remember
that you were a bondservant in Mitzrayim, and the LORD your God
redeemed you there: therefore I command you to do this thing. {24:19}
When you reap your harvest in your field, and have forgot a sheaf in
the field, you shall not go again to get it: it shall be for the
foreigner, for the fatherless, and for the widow; that the LORD your
God may bless you in all the work of your hands. {24:20} When you beat
your olive tree, you shall not go over the boughs again: it shall be
for the foreigner, for the fatherless, and for the widow. {24:21} When
you gather [the grapes of] your vineyard, you shall not glean it after
you: it shall be for the foreigner, for the fatherless, and for the
widow. {24:22} You shall remember that you were a bondservant in the
land of Mitzrayim: therefore I command you to do this thing.
