 22:1 “You shall not see 7200 your countryman’s 251 ox 7794 or 176 his sheep 7716 straying 5080 away 5080, and pay 5956 no 5956 attention 5956 to them; you shall certainly 7725 bring 7725 them back 7725 to your countryman 251.

 22:2 “If 518 your countryman 251 is not near 7138 you, or if you do not know 3045 him, then you shall bring 622 it home 8432 to your house 1004, and it shall remain 1961 with you until 5704 your countryman 251 looks 1875 for it; then you shall restore 7725 it to him.

 22:3 “Thus 3651 you shall do 6213a with his donkey 2543, and you shall do 6213a the same 3651 with his garment 8071, and you shall do 6213a likewise 3651 with anything 3605 lost 9 by your countryman 251, which 834 he has lost 6 and you have found 4672. You are not allowed 3201 to neglect 5956 [them].

 22:4 “You shall not see 7200 your countryman’s 251 donkey 2543 or 176 his ox 7794 fallen 5307 down 5307 on the way 1870, and pay 5956 no 5956 attention 5956 to them; you shall certainly 6965 help 6965 him to raise 6965 [them] up.

 22:5 ¶ “A woman 802 shall not wear 1961 man’s 1397 clothing 3627, nor 3808 shall a man 1397 put 3847 on a woman’s 802 clothing 8071; for whoever 3605 does 6213a these 428 things 428 is an abomination 8441 to the LORD 3068 your God 430.

 22:6 ¶ “If 3588 you happen 7122 to come 7122 upon a bird’s 6833 nest 7064 along the way 1870, in any 3605 tree 6086 or 176 on the ground 776, with young 667 ones 667 or 176 eggs 1000, and the mother 517 sitting 7257 on the young 667 or 176 on the eggs 1000, you shall not take 3947 the mother 517 with the young 1121;

 22:7 you shall certainly 7971 let 7971 the mother 517 go 7971, but the young 1121 you may take 3947 for yourself, in order 4616 that it may be well 3190 with you and that you may prolong 748 your days 3117.

 22:8 ¶ “When 3588 you build 1129 a new 2319 house 1004, you shall make 6213a a parapet 4624 for your roof 1406, so that you will not bring 7760 bloodguilt 1818 on your house 1004 if 3588 anyone 5307 falls 5307 from it.

 22:9 ¶ “You shall not sow 2232 your vineyard 3754 with two 3610 kinds 3610 of seed, or 6435 all 4395 the produce 4395 of the seed 2233 which 834 you have sown 2232 and the increase 8393 of the vineyard 3754 will become 6942 defiled 6942.

 22:10 ¶ “You shall not plow 2790a with an ox 7794 and a donkey 2543 together 3164a.

 22:11 ¶ “You shall not wear 3847 a material 8162 mixed 8162 of wool 6785 and linen 6593 together 3164a.

 22:12 ¶ “You shall make 6213a yourself tassels 1434 on the four 702 corners 3671 of your garment 3682 with which 834 you cover 3680 yourself.

 22:13 ¶ “If 3588 any 376 man 376 takes 3947 a wife 802 and goes 935 in to her and [then] turns 8130 against 8130 her,

 22:14 and charges 7760 her with shameful 5949 deeds 1697 and publicly 3318 defames 8034 7451a 3318 her, and says 559, ‘I took 3947 this 2088 woman 802, [but] when I came 7126 near 7126 her, I did not find 4672 her a virgin 1331,’

 22:15 then the girl’s 5291 father 1 and her mother 517 shall take 3947 and bring 3318 out the [evidence] of the girl’s 5291 virginity 1331 to the elders 2205 of the city 5892b at the gate 8179.

 22:16 “The girl’s 5291 father 1 shall say 559 to the elders 2205, ‘I gave 5414 my daughter 1323 to this 2088 man 376 for a wife 802, but he turned 8130 against 8130 her;

 22:17 and behold 2009, he has charged 7760 her with shameful 5949 deeds 1697, saying 559, “I did not find 4672 your daughter 1323 a virgin 1331.” But this 428 is the evidence 1331 of my daughter’s 1323 virginity 1331.’ And they shall spread 6566 the garment 8071 before 6440 the elders 2205 of the city 5892b.

 22:18 “So the elders 2205 of that city 5892b shall take 3947 the man 376 and chastise 3256 him,

 22:19 and they shall fine 6064 him a hundred 3967 [shekels] of silver 3701 and give 5414 it to the girl’s 5291 father 1, because 3588 he publicly 3318 defamed 8034 7451a 3318 a virgin 1330 of Israel 3478. And she shall remain 1961 his wife 802; he cannot 3201 3808 divorce 7971 her all 3605 his days 3117.

 22:20 ¶ “But if 518 this 2088 charge 1697 is true 571, that the girl 5291 was not found 4672 a virgin 1331,

 22:21 then they shall bring 3318 out the girl 5291 to the doorway 6607 of her father’s 1 house 1004, and the men 376 of her city 5892b shall stone 5619 her to death 4191 because 3588 she has committed 6213a an act 5039 of folly 5039 in Israel 3478 by playing 2181 the harlot 2181 in her father’s 1 house 1004; thus you shall purge 1197a the evil 7451b from among 7130 you.

 22:22 ¶ “If 3588 a man 376 is found 4672 lying 7901 with a married 1166 1167 woman 802, then both 1571 8147 of them shall die 4191, the man 376 who lay 7901 with the woman 802, and the woman 802; thus you shall purge 1197a the evil 7451b from Israel 3478.

 22:23 ¶ “If 3588 there is a girl 5291 who is a virgin 1330 engaged 781 to a man 376, and [another] man 376 finds 4672 her in the city 5892b and lies 7901 with her,

 22:24 then you shall bring 3318 them both 8147 out to the gate 8179 of that city 5892b and you shall stone 5619 them to death 4191; the girl 5291, because 5921 1697 834 she did not cry 6817 out in the city 5892b, and the man 376, because 5921 1697 834 he has violated 6031a his neighbor’s 7453 wife 802. Thus you shall purge 1197a the evil 7451b from among 7130 you.

 22:25 ¶ “But if 518 in the field 7704 the man 376 finds 4672 the girl 5291 who is engaged 781, and the man 376 forces 2388 her and lies 7901 with her, then only 905 the man 376 who 834 lies 7901 with her shall die 4191.

 22:26 “But you shall do 6213a nothing 3808 1697 to the girl 5291; there 369 is no 369 sin 2399 in the girl 5291 worthy of death 4194, for just 3152c as a man 376 rises 6965 against 5921 his neighbor 7453 and murders 7523 him, so 3651 is this 2088 case 1697.

 22:27 “When 3588 he found 4672 her in the field 7704, the engaged 781 girl 5291 cried 6817 out, but there 369 was no 369 one to save 3467 her.

 22:28 ¶ “If 3588 a man 376 finds 4672 a girl 5291 who is a virgin 1330, who 834 is not engaged 781, and seizes 8610 her and lies 7901 with her and they are discovered 4672,

 22:29 then the man 376 who lay 7901 with her shall give 5414 to the girl’s 5291 father 1 fifty 2572 [shekels] of silver 3701, and she shall become 1961 his wife 802 because 8478 834 he has violated 6031a her; he cannot 3201 3808 divorce 7971 her all 3605 his days 3117.

 22:30 ¶ “A man 376 shall not take 3947 his father’s 1 wife 802 so that he will not uncover 1540 his father’s 1 skirt 3671.
