1 When you see your brother's ox or her lost sheep, do not leave them, but return them to your brother;
2 If your brother does not come near to you, or you do not know him, then take them to your house, and let them stay with you until your brother finds them, and then return them to him;
3 So do with his ass, so do with his clothes, so do with all your lost brother's lost things, which will be lost to them and which you will find; You can not shy away [from this].
4 When you see the ass of your brother or the ox of his fallen on the way, do not leave them, but raise them with him.

5 A woman should not have menswear, and a man should not dress in a woman's dress, for everyone who does this is abomination before the LORD your God.
6th If you get a bird's nest on a road on a tree or on the ground, with nestlings or eggs, and the mother sits on chicks or eggs, then do not take the mother with the children:
7th Let your mother go, and take the children to yourself, so that you will feel good, and that your days may last.
8 If you build a new house, then make a railing near your roof, so as not to bring blood to your house, when someone falls from it.
9 Do not sow your vineyard with two kinds of seed, so as not to make you sworn to collect the seeds that you sow along with the fruits of the vineyard.
10 Do not plow in the wild and donkey together.
eleven Do not wear clothes made from different substances, from wool and flax together.
12 Make thyself the brushes on the four corners of thy curtain that thou coverest.

13 If a man takes a wife, and enters her, and hates her,
14 And will build vicious deeds upon her, and let her hear a bad report about her, and say: "I took this woman, and went in to her, and did not find her in virginity,
15 Then the father of the girl and her mother will take and take [the signs] of the virginity of the girl to the elders of the city, to the gates;
16 And the father of the damsel will tell the elders, "I gave my daughter to this man's wife, and now he hated her,
17th And, behold, he crouches wicked things against her, saying, I have not found thy daughter a virgin. But these are the signs of the virginity of my daughter. And they will spread clothing before the elders of the city.
18 Then the elders of that city shall take their husband and punish him,
19 And they shall put upon it a hundred pounds of silver of fine, and give it to the father of the damsel, because he let slothful talk about the virgin of Israel; She will remain his wife, and he can not divorce her for life.
20 If what is said is true, and there is no virginity in the girl,
21 Then the girl shall be led to the door of her father's house, and the inhabitants of her city shall stone her with stones to death, for she has done a shameful thing among Israel, having committed fornication in her father's house; And thou shalt destroy the evil from among you.
22 If anyone who is lying with his wife is married, he must be put to death both: the man who lies with the woman and the woman; And thou shalt destroy evil from Israel.
23 If a young virgin is betrothed to her husband, and someone will meet her in the city and lie with her,
24 Then bring them both to the gates of that city, and stone them to death: the girl for not screaming in the city, but for the man because he defiled his neighbor's wife; And thou shalt destroy the evil from among you.
25 But if anyone in the field meets a betrothed girl and grabs her, he lies with her, then only the man lying with her should die,
26th But do not do anything to the girl; On the girl there is no crime of the mortal: for this is the same as if a man rose up against his neighbor and killed him;
27th For he met her in the field, and [although] the betrothed betrothed screamed, but there was no one to save her.
28 If someone meets a virgin unmarried, and grabs her and lies with her, and finds them,
29 Then he that lay with her shall give fifty shekels of silver to the father of the damsel, and she shall be his wife, because he has defiled her; In his whole life he can not divorce her.
thirty No man shall take the wife of his father, nor uncover the border of his father.
