1When you see your neighbor's ox or sheep going astray, do not ignore it; you must return it without fail to your neighbor.1לֹֽא־ תִרְאֶה֩ אֶת־ שׁ֨וֹר אָחִ֜יךָ א֤וֹ אֶת־ שֵׂיוֹ֙ נִדָּחִ֔ים וְהִתְעַלַּמְתָּ֖ מֵהֶ֑ם הָשֵׁ֥ב תְּשִׁיבֵ֖ם לְאָחִֽיךָ׃
2If the owner does not live near you or you do not know who the owner is, then you must corral the animal at your house and let it stay with you until the owner looks for it; then you must return it to him.2וְאִם־ לֹ֨א קָר֥וֹב אָחִ֛יךָ אֵלֶ֖יךָ וְלֹ֣א יְדַעְתּ֑וֹ וַאֲסַפְתּוֹ֙ אֶל־ תּ֣וֹךְ בֵּיתֶ֔ךָ וְהָיָ֣ה עִמְּךָ֗ עַ֣ד דְּרֹ֤שׁ אָחִ֙יךָ֙ אֹת֔וֹ וַהֲשֵׁבֹת֖וֹ לֽוֹ׃
3You shall do the same to his donkey, his clothes, or anything else your neighbor has lost and you have found; you must not refuse to get involved.3וְכֵ֧ן תַּעֲשֶׂ֣ה לַחֲמֹר֗וֹ וְכֵ֣ן תַּעֲשֶׂה֮ לְשִׂמְלָתוֹ֒ וְכֵ֣ן תַּעֲשֶׂ֜ה לְכָל־ אֲבֵדַ֥ת אָחִ֛יךָ אֲשֶׁר־ תֹּאבַ֥ד מִמֶּ֖נּוּ וּמְצָאתָ֑הּ לֹ֥א תוּכַ֖ל לְהִתְעַלֵּֽם׃ ס
4When you see your neighbor's donkey or ox fallen along the road, do not ignore it; instead, you must be sure to help him get the animal on its feet again. 4לֹא־ תִרְאֶה֩ אֶת־ חֲמ֨וֹר אָחִ֜יךָ א֤וֹ שׁוֹרוֹ֙ נֹפְלִ֣ים בַּדֶּ֔רֶךְ וְהִתְעַלַּמְתָּ֖ מֵהֶ֑ם הָקֵ֥ם תָּקִ֖ים עִמּֽוֹ׃ ס
5A woman must not wear men's clothing, nor should a man dress up in women's clothing, for anyone who does this is offensive to the LORD your God. 5לֹא־ יִהְיֶ֤ה כְלִי־ גֶ֙בֶר֙ עַל־ אִשָּׁ֔ה וְלֹא־ יִלְבַּ֥שׁ גֶּ֖בֶר שִׂמְלַ֣ת אִשָּׁ֑ה כִּ֧י תוֹעֲבַ֛ת יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֶ֖יךָ כָּל־ עֹ֥שֵׂה אֵֽלֶּה׃ פ
6If you happen to notice a bird's nest along the road, whether in a tree or on the ground, and there are chicks or eggs with the mother bird sitting on them, you must not take the mother from the young.6כִּ֣י יִקָּרֵ֣א קַן־ צִפּ֣וֹר ׀ לְפָנֶ֡יךָ בַּדֶּ֜רֶךְ בְּכָל־ עֵ֣ץ ׀ א֣וֹ עַל־ הָאָ֗רֶץ אֶפְרֹחִים֙ א֣וֹ בֵיצִ֔ים וְהָאֵ֤ם רֹבֶ֙צֶת֙ עַל־ הָֽאֶפְרֹחִ֔ים א֖וֹ עַל־ הַבֵּיצִ֑ים לֹא־ תִקַּ֥ח הָאֵ֖ם עַל־ הַבָּנִֽים׃
7You must be sure to let the mother go, but you may take the young for yourself. Do this so that it may go well with you and you may have a long life. 7שַׁלֵּ֤חַ תְּשַׁלַּח֙ אֶת־ הָאֵ֔ם וְאֶת־ הַבָּנִ֖ים תִּֽקַּֽח־ לָ֑ךְ לְמַ֙עַן֙ יִ֣יטַב לָ֔ךְ וְהַאֲרַכְתָּ֖ יָמִֽים׃ ס
8If you build a new house, you must construct a guard rail around your roof to avoid being culpable in the event someone should fall from it. 8כִּ֤י תִבְנֶה֙ בַּ֣יִת חָדָ֔שׁ וְעָשִׂ֥יתָ מַעֲקֶ֖ה לְגַגֶּ֑ךָ וְלֹֽא־ תָשִׂ֤ים דָּמִים֙ בְּבֵיתֶ֔ךָ כִּֽי־ יִפֹּ֥ל הַנֹּפֵ֖ל מִמֶּֽנּוּ׃ ס
9You must not plant your vineyard with two kinds of seed; otherwise the entire yield, both of the seed you plant and the produce of the vineyard, will be defiled.9לֹא־ תִזְרַ֥ע כַּרְמְךָ֖ כִּלְאָ֑יִם פֶּן־ תִּקְדַּ֗שׁ הַֽמְלֵאָ֤ה הַזֶּ֙רַע֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר תִּזְרָ֔ע וּתְבוּאַ֖ת הַכָּֽרֶם׃ ס
10You must not plow with an ox and a donkey harnessed together.10לֹֽא־ תַחֲרֹ֥שׁ בְּשׁוֹר־ וּבַחֲמֹ֖ר יַחְדָּֽו׃ ס
11You must not wear clothing made with wool and linen meshed together.11לֹ֤א תִלְבַּשׁ֙ שַֽׁעַטְנֵ֔ז צֶ֥מֶר וּפִשְׁתִּ֖ים יַחְדָּֽו׃ ס
12You shall make yourselves tassels for the four corners of the clothing you wear. 12גְּדִלִ֖ים תַּעֲשֶׂה־ לָּ֑ךְ עַל־ אַרְבַּ֛ע כַּנְפ֥וֹת כְּסוּתְךָ֖ אֲשֶׁ֥ר תְּכַסֶּה־ בָּֽהּ׃ ס
13Suppose a man marries a woman, has sexual relations with her, and then rejects her,13כִּֽי־ יִקַּ֥ח אִ֖ישׁ אִשָּׁ֑ה וּבָ֥א אֵלֶ֖יהָ וּשְׂנֵאָֽהּ׃
14accusing her of impropriety and defaming her reputation by saying, "I married this woman but when I had sexual relations with her I discovered she was not a virgin!"14וְשָׂ֥ם לָהּ֙ עֲלִילֹ֣ת דְּבָרִ֔ים וְהוֹצִ֥יא עָלֶ֖יהָ שֵׁ֣ם רָ֑ע וְאָמַ֗ר אֶת־ הָאִשָּׁ֤ה הַזֹּאת֙ לָקַ֔חְתִּי וָאֶקְרַ֣ב אֵלֶ֔יהָ וְלֹא־ מָצָ֥אתִי לָ֖הּ בְּתוּלִֽים׃
15Then the father and mother of the young woman must produce the evidence of virginity for the elders of the city at the gate.15וְלָקַ֛ח אֲבִ֥י [הנער] (הַֽנַּעֲרָ֖ה) וְאִמָּ֑הּ וְהוֹצִ֜יאוּ אֶת־ בְּתוּלֵ֧י [הנער] (הַֽנַּעֲרָ֛ה) אֶל־ זִקְנֵ֥י הָעִ֖יר הַשָּֽׁעְרָה׃
16The young woman's father must say to the elders, "I gave my daughter to this man and he has rejected her.16וְאָמַ֛ר אֲבִ֥י [הנער] (הַֽנַּעַרָ֖ה‪‬‪‬‪‬) אֶל־ הַזְּקֵנִ֑ים אֶת־ בִּתִּ֗י נָתַ֜תִּי לָאִ֥ישׁ הַזֶּ֛ה לְאִשָּׁ֖ה וַיִּשְׂנָאֶֽהָ׃
17Moreover, he has raised accusations of impropriety by saying, 'I discovered your daughter was not a virgin,' but this is the evidence of my daughter's virginity!" The cloth must then be spread out before the city's elders.17וְהִנֵּה־ ה֡וּא שָׂם֩ עֲלִילֹ֨ת דְּבָרִ֜ים לֵאמֹ֗ר לֹֽא־ מָצָ֤אתִי לְבִתְּךָ֙ בְּתוּלִ֔ים וְאֵ֖לֶּה בְּתוּלֵ֣י בִתִּ֑י וּפָֽרְשׂוּ֙ הַשִּׂמְלָ֔ה לִפְנֵ֖י זִקְנֵ֥י הָעִֽיר׃
18The elders of that city must then seize the man and punish him.18וְלָֽקְח֛וּ זִקְנֵ֥י הָֽעִיר־ הַהִ֖וא אֶת־ הָאִ֑ישׁ וְיִסְּר֖וּ אֹתֽוֹ׃
19They will fine him one hundred shekels of silver and give them to the young woman's father, for the man who made the accusation ruined the reputation of an Israelite virgin. She will then become his wife and he may never divorce her as long as he lives. 19וְעָנְשׁ֨וּ אֹת֜וֹ מֵ֣אָה כֶ֗סֶף וְנָתְנוּ֙ לַאֲבִ֣י הַֽנַּעֲרָ֔ה כִּ֤י הוֹצִיא֙ שֵׁ֣ם רָ֔ע עַ֖ל בְּתוּלַ֣ת יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וְלֽוֹ־ תִהְיֶ֣ה לְאִשָּׁ֔ה לֹא־ יוּכַ֥ל לְשַּׁלְּחָ֖הּ‪‬‪‬ כָּל־ יָמָֽיו׃ ס
20But if the accusation is true and the young woman was not a virgin,20וְאִם־ אֱמֶ֣ת הָיָ֔ה הַדָּבָ֖ר הַזֶּ֑ה לֹא־ נִמְצְא֥וּ בְתוּלִ֖ים [לנער] (לַֽנַּעֲרָֽה׃)
21the men of her city must bring the young woman to the door of her father's house and stone her to death, for she has done a disgraceful thing in Israel by behaving like a prostitute while living in her father's house. In this way you will purge evil from among you. 21וְהוֹצִ֨יאוּ אֶת־ [הנער] (הַֽנַּעֲרָ֜ה) אֶל־ פֶּ֣תַח בֵּית־ אָבִ֗יהָ וּסְקָלוּהָ֩ אַנְשֵׁ֨י עִירָ֤הּ בָּאֲבָנִים֙ וָמֵ֔תָה כִּֽי־ עָשְׂתָ֤ה נְבָלָה֙ בְּיִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל לִזְנ֖וֹת בֵּ֣ית אָבִ֑יהָ וּבִֽעַרְתָּ֥ הָרָ֖ע מִקִּרְבֶּֽךָ׃ ס
22If a man is caught having sexual relations with a married woman both the man who had relations with the woman and the woman herself must die; in this way you will purge evil from Israel. 22כִּֽי־ יִמָּצֵ֨א אִ֜ישׁ שֹׁכֵ֣ב ׀ עִם־ אִשָּׁ֣ה בְעֻֽלַת־ בַּ֗עַל וּמֵ֙תוּ֙ גַּם־ שְׁנֵיהֶ֔ם הָאִ֛ישׁ הַשֹּׁכֵ֥ב עִם־ הָאִשָּׁ֖ה וְהָאִשָּׁ֑ה וּבִֽעַרְתָּ֥ הָרָ֖ע מִיִּשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ ס
23If a virgin is engaged to a man and another man meets her in the city and has sexual relations with her,23כִּ֤י יִהְיֶה֙ [נער] (נַעֲרָ֣ה) בְתוּלָ֔ה מְאֹרָשָׂ֖ה לְאִ֑ישׁ וּמְצָאָ֥הּ אִ֛ישׁ בָּעִ֖יר וְשָׁכַ֥ב עִמָּֽהּ׃
24you must bring the two of them to the gate of that city and stone them to death, the young woman because she did not cry out though in the city and the man because he violated his neighbor's fiancee; in this way you will purge evil from among you.24וְהוֹצֵאתֶ֨ם אֶת־ שְׁנֵיהֶ֜ם אֶל־ שַׁ֣עַר ׀ הָעִ֣יר הַהִ֗וא וּסְקַלְתֶּ֨ם אֹתָ֥ם בָּאֲבָנִים֮ וָמֵתוּ֒ אֶת־ [הנער] (הַֽנַּעֲרָ֗ה) עַל־ דְּבַר֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר לֹא־ צָעֲקָ֣ה בָעִ֔יר וְאֶ֨ת־ הָאִ֔ישׁ עַל־ דְּבַ֥ר אֲשֶׁר־ עִנָּ֖ה אֶת־ אֵ֣שֶׁת רֵעֵ֑הוּ וּבִֽעַרְתָּ֥ הָרָ֖ע מִקִּרְבֶּֽךָ׃ ס
25But if the man came across the engaged woman in the field and overpowered her and raped her, then only the rapist must die.25וְֽאִם־ בַּשָּׂדֶ֞ה יִמְצָ֣א הָאִ֗ישׁ אֶת־ [הנער] (הַֽנַּעֲרָה֙) הַמְאֹ֣רָשָׂ֔ה וְהֶחֱזִֽיק־ בָּ֥הּ הָאִ֖ישׁ וְשָׁכַ֣ב עִמָּ֑הּ וּמֵ֗ת הָאִ֛ישׁ אֲשֶׁר־ שָׁכַ֥ב עִמָּ֖הּ לְבַדּֽוֹ׃
26You must not do anything to the young woman--she has done nothing deserving of death. This case is the same as when someone attacks another person and murders him,26[ולנער] (וְלַֽנַּעֲרָה֙‪‬) לֹא־ תַעֲשֶׂ֣ה דָבָ֔ר אֵ֥ין [לנער] (לַֽנַּעֲרָ֖ה) חֵ֣טְא מָ֑וֶת כִּ֡י כַּאֲשֶׁר֩ יָק֨וּם אִ֤ישׁ עַל־ רֵעֵ֙הוּ֙ וּרְצָח֣וֹ נֶ֔פֶשׁ כֵּ֖ן הַדָּבָ֥ר הַזֶּֽה׃
27for the man met her in the field and the engaged woman cried out, but there was no one to rescue her. 27כִּ֥י בַשָּׂדֶ֖ה מְצָאָ֑הּ צָעֲקָ֗ה [הנער] (הַֽנַּעֲרָה֙) הַמְאֹ֣רָשָׂ֔ה וְאֵ֥ין מוֹשִׁ֖יעַ לָֽהּ׃ ס
28Suppose a man comes across a virgin who is not engaged and overpowers and rapes her and they are discovered.28כִּֽי־ יִמְצָ֣א אִ֗ישׁ [נער] (נַעֲרָ֤ה) בְתוּלָה֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר לֹא־ אֹרָ֔שָׂה וּתְפָשָׂ֖הּ וְשָׁכַ֣ב עִמָּ֑הּ וְנִמְצָֽאוּ׃
29The man who has raped her must pay her father fifty shekels of silver and she must become his wife because he has violated her; he may never divorce her as long as he lives. 29וְ֠נָתַן הָאִ֨ישׁ הַשֹּׁכֵ֥ב עִמָּ֛הּ לַאֲבִ֥י [הנער] (הַֽנַּעֲרָ֖ה) חֲמִשִּׁ֣ים כָּ֑סֶף וְלֽוֹ־ תִהְיֶ֣ה לְאִשָּׁ֗ה תַּ֚חַת אֲשֶׁ֣ר עִנָּ֔הּ לֹא־ יוּכַ֥ל שַׁלְּחָ֖ה‪‬‪‬ כָּל־ יָמָֽיו׃ ס
30A man may not marry his father's former wife and in this way dishonor his father. 30לֹא־ יִקַּ֥ח אִ֖ישׁ אֶת־ אֵ֣שֶׁת אָבִ֑יו וְלֹ֥א יְגַלֶּ֖ה כְּנַ֥ף אָבִֽיו׃ ס
