ULT DEU Chapter 22

◄ DEU 22 ► ║ ©

22 You shall not see the ox of your brother or his sheep be scattered and hide yourself from them; you shall surely return them to your brother. 2 And if your brother is not near to you, or you do not know him, then gather it to the middle of your house, and it must be with you until your brother seeks it, and you shall return it to him. 3 And thus you shall do for his donkey; and thus you shall do for his clothing; and thus you shall do for every lost thing of your brother, which is lost from him and you have found it; you shall not hide yourself.

4 You shall not see the donkey of your brother or his ox fallen down in the road and hide yourself from them; you shall surely lift it up.

5 The garments of a man shall not be on a woman, and neither shall a man wear the clothing of a woman; for all who do these are an abomination to Yahweh your God.

6 If the nest of a bird is encountered before your face on the road, in any tree or on the ground, with young ones or eggs, and the mother lying down on the young or on the eggs, you shall not take the mother with the children. 7 You shall surely send out the mother, but the children you may take for yourself, so that it may go well with you, and you may prolong your days.

8 When you build a new house, then you shall make a railing for your roof, and you will not bring blood on your house if one who falls should fall from it.

9 You shall not plant your vineyard with two kinds of seed, lest all the produce of the seed that you have sown and the yield of the vineyard is made holy.

10 You shall not plow with an ox and a donkey together.

11 You shall not wear mixed material—wool and linen together.

12 You shall make tassels for yourself on the four corners of your garment with which you cover yourself.

13 If a man takes a wife, and he goes in to her and hates her 14 and accuses her of shameful things and brings against her a bad name and says, ‘I took this woman, and I came near to her, and I did not find her virginity,’ 15 then the father of the girl and the mother shall take and bring the virginity of the girl to the elders at the city gate. 16 And the father of the girl shall say to the elders, ‘I gave my daughter to this man as a wife, and he hates her. 17 And behold, he has set forth shameful things, saying, “I did not find virginity in your daughter.” But these are the virginity of my daughter.’ And they shall spread the garment out before the faces of the elders of the city. 18 And the elders of that city shall take the man and rebuke him; 19 and they shall fine him 100 silvers, and give them to the father of the girl, because he has brought a bad name upon a virgin of Israel. And she shall be his wife; he shall not send her away all his days.

20 But if this thing is true, virginity was not found in the girl, 21 then they shall bring out the girl to the door of the house of her father, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones, and she shall die, because she has done a disgraceful thing in Israel, to commit fornication in the house of her father; and you shall remove the evil from among you.

22 If a man is found lying with a woman married to a husband, then they shall die, even the two of them, the man lying with the woman and the woman; and you shall remove the evil from Israel.

23 If there is a virgin girl, engaged to a man, and another man finds her in the city and lies with her, 24 then you shall take both of them to the gate of that city, and stone them with stones, and they shall die—the girl, on account of the matter that she did not cry out in the city, and the man, on account of the matter that he humiliated the wife of his neighbor; and you shall remove the evil from among you.

25 And if the man finds the engaged girl in the field, and the man seizes her and lies with her, then only the man who lies with her shall die. 26 But to the girl you shall not do a thing; there is no sin of death in the girl. For as a man rises up against his neighbor and murders him, the life, thus is this matter. 27 For he found her in the field; the engaged girl cried out, but there was no one to save her.

28 If a man finds a virgin girl that is not engaged, and he seizes her and lies with her, and they are discovered, 29 then the man who lay with her shall give 50 silvers to the father of the girl, and she shall be his wife, because he has violated her. He may not send her away all his days.

30 A man shall not take the wife of his father; and he shall not uncover the hem of his father.
