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.
  
2. And if your brother be not near to you, or if you do not know him, then you shall bring it to your own house, and it shall be with you until your brother seeks after it, and you shall restore it to him again.
  
3. In like manner shall you do with his donkey; and so shall you do with his clothing; and with all lost things of your brother's, which he has lost, and you have found, shall you do likewise: you may not hide yourself.
  
4. You shall not see your brother's donkey or his ox fall down by the way, and hide yourself from them: you shall surely help him to lift them up again.
  
5. The woman shall not wear that which is typical for a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination to the LORD your God.
  
6. If a bird's nest chances to be before you in the way in any tree, or on the ground, whether they be young ones, or eggs, and the mother sitting upon the young, or upon the eggs, you shall not take the mother with the young:
  
7. But you shall surely let the mother go, and take the young to you; that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days.
  
8. When you build a new house, then you shall make a barrier for your roof, so that you do not bring blood upon your house, if any man falls from there.
  
9. You shall not sow your vineyard with different seeds: lest the fruit of your seed which you have sown, and the fruit of your vineyard, be defiled.
  
10. You shall not plow with an ox and a donkey together.
  
11. You shall not wear a garment of different materials, as of woollen and linen together.
  
12. You shall make fringes upon the four quarters of your clothing, with which you cover yourself.
  
13. If any man takes a wife, and goes in unto her, and hates her,
  
14. And gives occasions of speech against her, and brings up an evil name upon her, and says, 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 to the elders of the city in the gate:
  
16. And the damsel's father shall say to the elders, I gave my daughter to this man as wife, and he hates her;
  
17. And, lo, he has given occasions of speech against her, saying, I did not find your 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 fine him a hundred shekels of silver, and give them to the father of the damsel, because he has 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 dies: because she has done folly in Israel, to play the whore in her father's house: so shall you put evil away from among you.
  
22. If a man be found lying with a woman married to a husband, then they shall both of them die, both the man that lay with the woman, and the woman: so shall you put away evil from Israel.
  
23. If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed to a husband, and a man finds her in the city, and lies with her;
  
24. Then you shall bring them both out to the gate of that city, and you shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she did not cry, being in the city; and the man, because he has humbled his neighbor's wife: so you shall put away evil from among you.
  
25. But if a man finds a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man forces her, and lies with her: then the man only that lay with her shall die:
  
26. But to the damsel you shall do nothing; there is in the damsel no sin worthy of death: for as when a man rises against his neighbor, and slays him, even so is this matter:
  
27. For he found her in the field, and the betrothed damsel cried out, and there was none to save her.
  
28. If a man finds a damsel that is a virgin, who is not betrothed, and lays hold on her, and lies with her, and they be found;
  
29. Then the man that lay with her shall give to the damsel'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.
  
30. A man shall not take his father's wife, nor uncover his father's skirt.
