Moses gives a variety of laws: helping a neighbour's lost animal, building a parapet on a roof, not mixing certain materials, and rules about marriage and sexual relations.
1 Thou shalt not see thy brother's ox or his sheep go astray , and hide thyself from them: thou shalt in any case bring them again unto thy brother .
2 And if thy brother be not nigh unto thee, or if thou know him not, then thou shalt bring it unto thine own house , and it shall be with thee until thy brother seek after it, and thou shalt restore it to him again .
3 In like manner shalt thou do with his ass ; and so shalt thou do with his raiment ; and with all lost thing of thy brother's , which he hath lost , and thou hast found , shalt thou do likewise: thou mayest not hide thyself.
4 Thou shalt not see thy brother's ass or his ox fall down by the way , and hide thyself from them: thou shalt surely help him to lift them up again .
5 The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man , neither shall a man put on a woman's garment : for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God .
6 If a bird's nest chance to be before thee in the way in any tree , or on the ground , whether they be young ones , or eggs , and the dam sitting upon the young , or upon the eggs , thou shalt not take the dam with the young :
7 But thou shalt in any wise let the dam go , and take the young to thee; that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days .
8 When thou buildest a new house , then thou shalt make a battlement for thy roof , that thou bring not blood upon thine house , if any man fall from thence.
9 Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with divers seeds : lest the fruit of thy seed which thou hast sown , and the fruit of thy vineyard , be defiled .
10 Thou shalt not plow with an ox and an ass together .
11 Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts , as of woollen and linen together .
12 Thou shalt make thee fringes upon the four quarters of thy vesture , wherewith thou coverest thyself.
13 If any man take a wife , and go in unto her, and hate her,
14 And give occasions of speech against her, and bring up an evil name upon her, and say , 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 unto the elders of the city in the gate :
16 And the damsel's father shall say unto the elders , I gave my daughter unto this man to wife , and he hateth her;
17 And, lo, he hath given occasions of speech against her, saying , I found not thy 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 amerce him in an hundred shekels of silver , and give them unto the father of the damsel , because he hath 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 die : because she hath wrought folly in Israel , to play the whore in her father's house : so shalt thou put evil away from among you.
22 If a man be found lying with a woman married to an husband , then they shall both of them die , both the man that lay with the woman , and the woman : so shalt thou put away evil from Israel .
23 If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto an husband , and a man find her in the city , and lie with her;
24 Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city , and ye shall stone them with stones that they die ; the damsel , because she cried not, being in the city ; and the man , because he hath humbled his neighbour's wife : so thou shalt put away evil from among you.
25 But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field , and the man force her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with her shall die :
26 But unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing ; there is in the damsel no sin worthy of death : for as when a man riseth against his neighbour , and slayeth him, even so is this matter :
27 For he found her in the field , and the betrothed damsel cried , and there was none to save her.
28 If a man find a damsel that is a virgin , which is not betrothed , and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found ;
29 Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver , and she shall be his wife ; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days .
30 A man shall not take his father's wife , nor discover his father's skirt .
