22 If you see your fellow Israelite’s ox or sheep straying, do not ignore it but be sure to take it back to its owner.n 2 If they do not live near you or if you do not know who owns it, take it home with you and keep it until they come looking for it. Then give it back. 3 Do the same if you find their donkey or cloak or anything else they have lost. Do not ignore it.
4 If you see your fellow Israelite’s donkeyo or ox fallen on the road, do not ignore it. Help the owner get it to its feet.p
5 A woman must not wear men’s clothing, nor a man wear women’s clothing, for the Lord your God detests anyone who does this.
6 If you come across a bird’s nest beside the road, either in a tree or on the ground, and the mother is sitting on the young or on the eggs, do not take the mother with the young.q 7 You may take the young, but be sure to let the mother go,r so that it may go well with you and you may have a long life.s
8 When you build a new house, make a parapet around your roof so that you may not bring the guilt of bloodshed on your house if someone falls from the roof.t
9 Do not plant two kinds of seed in your vineyard;u if you do, not only the crops you plant but also the fruit of the vineyard will be defiled.a
10 Do not plow with an ox and a donkey yoked together.v
11 Do not wear clothes of wool and linen woven together.w
12 Make tassels on the four corners of the cloak you wear.x
13 If a man takes a wife and, after sleeping with hery, dislikes her 14 and slanders her and gives her a bad name, saying, “I married this woman, but when I approached her, I did not find proof of her virginity,” 15 then the young woman’s father and mother shall bring to the town elders at the gatez proof that she was a virgin. 16 Her father will say to the elders, “I gave my daughter in marriage to this man, but he dislikes her. 17 Now he has slandered her and said, ‘I did not find your daughter to be a virgin.’ But here is the proof of my daughter’s virginity.” Then her parents shall display the cloth before the elders of the town, 18 and the eldersa shall take the man and punish him. 19 They shall fine him a hundred shekelsb of silver and give them to the young woman’s father, because this man has given an Israelite virgin a bad name. She shall continue to be his wife; he must not divorce her as long as he lives.
20 If, however, the charge is trueb and no proof of the young woman’s virginity can be found, 21 she shall be brought to the door of her father’s house and there the men of her town shall stone her to death. She has done an outrageous thingc in Israel by being promiscuous while still in her father’s house. You must purge the evil from among you.
22 If a man is found sleeping with another man’s wife, both the man who sleptd with her and the woman must die.e You must purge the evil from Israel.
23 If a man happens to meet in a town a virgin pledged to be married and he sleeps with her, 24 you shall take both of them to the gate of that town and stone them to death—the young woman because she was in a town and did not scream for help, and the man because he violated another man’s wife. You must purge the evil from among you.f
25 But if out in the country a man happens to meet a young woman pledged to be married and rapes her, only the man who has done this shall die. 26 Do nothing to the woman; she has committed no sin deserving death. This case is like that of someone who attacks and murders a neighbor, 27 for the man found the young woman out in the country, and though the betrothed woman screamed,g there was no one to rescue her.
28 If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered,h 29 he shall pay her father fifty shekelsc of silver. He must marry the young woman, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives.
30 A man is not to marry his father’s wife; he must not dishonor his father’s bed.d i
23 a No one who has been emasculatedj by crushing or cutting may enter the assembly of the Lord.
2 No one born of a forbidden marriageb nor any of their descendants may enter the assembly of the Lord, not even in the tenth generation.
3 No Ammonitek or Moabite or any of their descendants may enter the assembly of the Lord, not even in the tenth generation.l 4 For they did not come to meet you with bread and waterm on your way when you came out of Egypt, and they hired Balaamn son of Beor from Pethor in Aram Naharaimc o to pronounce a curse on you.p 5 However, the Lord your God would not listen to Balaam but turned the curseq into a blessing for you, because the Lord your God lovesr you. 6 Do not seek a treatys of friendship with them as long as you live.t
7 Do not despise an Edomite,u for the Edomites are related to you.v Do not despise an Egyptian, because you resided as foreigners in their country.w 8 The third generation of children born to them may enter the assembly of the Lord.
9 When you are encamped against your enemies, keep away from everything impure.x 10 If one of your men is unclean because of a nocturnal emission, he is to go outside the camp and stay there.y 11 But as evening approaches he is to wash himself, and at sunsetz he may return to the camp.a
12 Designate a place outside the camp where you can go to relieve yourself. 13 As part of your equipment have something to dig with, and when you relieve yourself, dig a hole and cover up your excrement. 14 For the Lord your God movesb about in your camp to protect you and to deliver your enemies to you. Your camp must be holy,c so that he will not see among you anything indecent and turn away from you.
15 If a slave has taken refuged with you, do not hand them over to their master.e 16 Let them live among you wherever they like and in whatever town they choose. Do not oppressf them.
17 No Israelite mang or woman is to become a shrine prostitute.h 18 You must not bring the earnings of a female prostitute or of a male prostituted into the house of the Lord your God to pay any vow, because the Lord your God detests them both.i
19 Do not charge a fellow Israelite interest, whether on money or food or anything else that may earn interest.j 20 You may charge a foreignerk interest, but not a fellow Israelite, so that the Lord your God may blessl you in everything you put your hand to in the land you are entering to possess.
21 If you make a vow to the Lord your God, do not be slow to pay it,m for the Lord your God will certainly demand it of you and you will be guilty of sin.n 22 But if you refrain from making a vow, you will not be guilty.o 23 Whatever your lips utter you must be sure to do, because you made your vow freely to the Lord your God with your own mouth.
24 If you enter your neighbor’s vineyard, you may eat all the grapes you want, but do not put any in your basket. 25 If you enter your neighbor’s grainfield, you may pick kernels with your hands, but you must not put a sickle to their standing grain.p
24 If a man marries a woman who becomes displeasing to himq because he finds something indecent about her, and he writes her a certificate of divorce,r gives it to her and sends her from his house, 2 and if after she leaves his house she becomes the wife of another man, 3 and her second husband dislikes her and writes her a certificate of divorce, gives it to her and sends her from his house, or if he dies, 4 then her first husband, who divorced her, is not allowed to marry her again after she has been defiled. That would be detestable in the eyes of the Lord. Do not bring sin upon the land the Lords your God is giving you as an inheritance.
5 If a man has recently married, he must not be sent to war or have any other duty laid on him. For one year he is to be free to stay at home and bring happiness to the wife he has married.t
6 Do not take a pair of millstones—not even the upper one—as security for a debt, because that would be taking a person’s livelihood as security.u
7 If someone is caught kidnapping a fellow Israelite and treating or selling them as a slave, the kidnapper must die.v You must purge the evil from among you.w
8 In cases of defiling skin diseases,a be very careful to do exactly as the Leviticalx priests instruct you. You must follow carefully what I have commanded them.y 9 Remember what the Lord your God did to Miriam along the way after you came out of Egypt.z
10 When you make a loan of any kind to your neighbor, do not go into their house to get what is offered to you as a pledge.a 11 Stay outside and let the neighbor to whom you are making the loan bring the pledge out to you. 12 If the neighbor is poor, do not go to sleep with their pledgeb in your possession. 13 Return their cloak by sunsetc so that your neighbor may sleep in it.d Then they will thank you, and it will be regarded as a righteous act in the sight of the Lord your God.e
14 Do not take advantage of a hired worker who is poor and needy, whether that worker is a fellow Israelite or a foreigner residing in one of your towns.f 15 Pay them their wages each day before sunset, because they are poorg and are counting on it.h Otherwise they may cry to the Lord against you, and you will be guilty of sin.i
16 Parents are not to be put to death for their children, nor children put to death for their parents; each will die for their own sin.j
17 Do not deprive the foreigner or the fatherlessk of justice,l or take the cloak of the widow as a pledge. 18 Remember that you were slaves in Egyptm and the Lord your God redeemed you from there. That is why I command you to do this.
19 When you are harvesting in your field and you overlook a sheaf, do not go back to get it.n Leave it for the foreigner,o the fatherless and the widow,p so that the Lord your God may blessq you in all the work of your hands. 20 When you beat the olives from your trees, do not go over the branches a second time.r Leave what remains for the foreigner, the fatherless and the widow. 21 When you harvest the grapes in your vineyard, do not go over the vines again. Leave what remains for the foreigner, the fatherless and the widow. 22 Remember that you were slaves in Egypt. That is why I command you to do this.s
