1“You shall not see your brother’s ox or his sheep going astray and ignore them. You shall take them back to your brother.1לֹֽא־ תִרְאֶה֩ אֶת־ שׁ֨וֹר אָחִ֜יךָ א֤וֹ אֶת־ שֵׂיוֹ֙ נִדָּחִ֔ים וְהִתְעַלַּמְתָּ֖ מֵהֶ֑ם הָשֵׁ֥ב תְּשִׁיבֵ֖ם לְאָחִֽיךָ׃
2And if he does not live near you and you do not know who he is, you shall bring it home to your house, and it shall stay with you until your brother seeks it. Then you shall restore it to him.2וְאִם־ לֹ֨א קָר֥וֹב אָחִ֛יךָ אֵלֶ֖יךָ וְלֹ֣א יְדַעְתּ֑וֹ וַאֲסַפְתּוֹ֙ אֶל־ תּ֣וֹךְ בֵּיתֶ֔ךָ וְהָיָ֣ה עִמְּךָ֗ עַ֣ד דְּרֹ֤שׁ אָחִ֙יךָ֙ אֹת֔וֹ וַהֲשֵׁבֹת֖וֹ לֽוֹ׃
3And you shall do the same with his donkey or with his garment, or with any lost thing of your brother’s, which he loses and you find; you may not ignore it.3וְכֵ֧ן תַּעֲשֶׂ֣ה לַחֲמֹר֗וֹ וְכֵ֣ן תַּעֲשֶׂה֮ לְשִׂמְלָתוֹ֒ וְכֵ֣ן תַּעֲשֶׂ֜ה לְכָל־ אֲבֵדַ֥ת אָחִ֛יךָ אֲשֶׁר־ תֹּאבַ֥ד מִמֶּ֖נּוּ וּמְצָאתָ֑הּ לֹ֥א תוּכַ֖ל לְהִתְעַלֵּֽם׃ ס
4You shall not see your brother’s donkey or his ox fallen down by the way and ignore them. You shall help him to lift them up again.4לֹא־ תִרְאֶה֩ אֶת־ חֲמ֨וֹר אָחִ֜יךָ א֤וֹ שׁוֹרוֹ֙ נֹפְלִ֣ים בַּדֶּ֔רֶךְ וְהִתְעַלַּמְתָּ֖ מֵהֶ֑ם הָקֵ֥ם תָּקִ֖ים עִמּֽוֹ׃ ס
5“A woman shall not wear a man’s garment, nor shall a man put on a woman’s cloak, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the LORD your God.5לֹא־ יִהְיֶ֤ה כְלִי־ גֶ֙בֶר֙ עַל־ אִשָּׁ֔ה וְלֹא־ יִלְבַּ֥שׁ גֶּ֖בֶר שִׂמְלַ֣ת אִשָּׁ֑ה כִּ֧י תוֹעֲבַ֛ת יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֶ֖יךָ כָּל־ עֹ֥שֵׂה אֵֽלֶּה׃ פ
6“If you come across a bird’s nest in any tree or on the ground, with young ones or eggs and the mother sitting on the young or on the eggs, you shall not take the mother with 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 shall let the mother go, but the young you may take for yourself, that it may go well with you, and that you may live long.7שַׁלֵּ֤חַ תְּשַׁלַּח֙ אֶת־ הָאֵ֔ם וְאֶת־ הַבָּנִ֖ים תִּֽקַּֽח־ לָ֑ךְ לְמַ֙עַן֙ יִ֣יטַב לָ֔ךְ וְהַאֲרַכְתָּ֖ יָמִֽים׃ ס
8“When you build a new house, you shall make a parapet for your roof, that you may not bring the guilt of blood upon your house, if anyone should fall from it.8כִּ֤י תִבְנֶה֙ בַּ֣יִת חָדָ֔שׁ וְעָשִׂ֥יתָ מַעֲקֶ֖ה לְגַגֶּ֑ךָ וְלֹֽא־ תָשִׂ֤ים דָּמִים֙ בְּבֵיתֶ֔ךָ כִּֽי־ יִפֹּ֥ל הַנֹּפֵ֖ל מִמֶּֽנּוּ׃ ס
9“You shall not sow your vineyard with two kinds of seed, lest the whole yield be forfeited, the crop that you have sown and the yield of the vineyard.9לֹא־ תִזְרַ֥ע כַּרְמְךָ֖ כִּלְאָ֑יִם פֶּן־ תִּקְדַּ֗שׁ הַֽמְלֵאָ֤ה הַזֶּ֙רַע֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר תִּזְרָ֔ע וּתְבוּאַ֖ת הַכָּֽרֶם׃ ס
10You shall not plow with an ox and a donkey together.10לֹֽא־ תַחֲרֹ֥שׁ בְּשׁוֹר־ וּבַחֲמֹ֖ר יַחְדָּֽו׃ ס
11You shall not wear cloth of wool and linen mixed together.11לֹ֤א תִלְבַּשׁ֙ שַֽׁעַטְנֵ֔ז צֶ֥מֶר וּפִשְׁתִּ֖ים יַחְדָּֽו׃ ס
12“You shall make yourself tassels on the four corners of the garment with which you cover yourself.12גְּדִלִ֖ים תַּעֲשֶׂה־ לָּ֑ךְ עַל־ אַרְבַּ֛ע כַּנְפ֥וֹת כְּסוּתְךָ֖ אֲשֶׁ֥ר תְּכַסֶּה־ בָּֽהּ׃ ס
13“If any man takes a wife and goes in to her and then hates her13כִּֽי־ יִקַּ֥ח אִ֖ישׁ אִשָּׁ֑ה וּבָ֥א אֵלֶ֖יהָ וּשְׂנֵאָֽהּ׃
14and accuses her of misconduct and brings a bad name upon her, saying, ‘I took this woman, and when I came near her, I did not find in her evidence of virginity,’14וְשָׂ֥ם לָהּ֙ עֲלִילֹ֣ת דְּבָרִ֔ים וְהוֹצִ֥יא עָלֶ֖יהָ שֵׁ֣ם רָ֑ע וְאָמַ֗ר אֶת־ הָאִשָּׁ֤ה הַזֹּאת֙ לָקַ֔חְתִּי וָאֶקְרַ֣ב אֵלֶ֔יהָ וְלֹא־ מָצָ֥אתִי לָ֖הּ בְּתוּלִֽים׃
15then the father of the young woman and her mother shall take and bring out the evidence of her virginity to the elders of the city in the gate.15וְלָקַ֛ח אֲבִ֥י [הנער] (הַֽנַּעֲרָ֖ה) וְאִמָּ֑הּ וְהוֹצִ֜יאוּ אֶת־ בְּתוּלֵ֧י [הנער] (הַֽנַּעֲרָ֛ה) אֶל־ זִקְנֵ֥י הָעִ֖יר הַשָּֽׁעְרָה׃
16And the father of the young woman shall say to the elders, ‘I gave my daughter to this man to marry, and he hates her;16וְאָמַ֛ר אֲבִ֥י [הנער] (הַֽנַּעַרָ֖ה‪‬‪‬‪‬) אֶל־ הַזְּקֵנִ֑ים אֶת־ בִּתִּ֗י נָתַ֜תִּי לָאִ֥ישׁ הַזֶּ֛ה לְאִשָּׁ֖ה וַיִּשְׂנָאֶֽהָ׃
17and behold, he has accused her of misconduct, saying, “I did not find in your daughter evidence of virginity.” And yet this is the evidence of my daughter’s virginity.’ And they shall spread the cloak before the elders of the city.17וְהִנֵּה־ ה֡וּא שָׂם֩ עֲלִילֹ֨ת דְּבָרִ֜ים לֵאמֹ֗ר לֹֽא־ מָצָ֤אתִי לְבִתְּךָ֙ בְּתוּלִ֔ים וְאֵ֖לֶּה בְּתוּלֵ֣י בִתִּ֑י וּפָֽרְשׂוּ֙ הַשִּׂמְלָ֔ה לִפְנֵ֖י זִקְנֵ֥י הָעִֽיר׃
18Then the elders of that city shall take the man and whip him,18וְלָֽקְח֛וּ זִקְנֵ֥י הָֽעִיר־ הַהִ֖וא אֶת־ הָאִ֑ישׁ וְיִסְּר֖וּ אֹתֽוֹ׃
19and they shall fine him a hundred shekels of silver and give them to the father of the young woman, because he has brought a bad name upon a virgin of Israel. And she shall be his wife. He may not divorce her all his days.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 thing is true, that evidence of virginity was not found in the young woman,20וְאִם־ אֱמֶ֣ת הָיָ֔ה הַדָּבָ֖ר הַזֶּ֑ה לֹא־ נִמְצְא֥וּ בְתוּלִ֖ים [לנער] (לַֽנַּעֲרָֽה׃)
21then they shall bring out the young woman to the door of her father’s house, and the men of her city shall stone her to death with stones, because she has done an outrageous thing in Israel by whoring in her father’s house. So you shall purge the evil from your midst.21וְהוֹצִ֨יאוּ אֶת־ [הנער] (הַֽנַּעֲרָ֜ה) אֶל־ פֶּ֣תַח בֵּית־ אָבִ֗יהָ וּסְקָלוּהָ֩ אַנְשֵׁ֨י עִירָ֤הּ בָּאֲבָנִים֙ וָמֵ֔תָה כִּֽי־ עָשְׂתָ֤ה נְבָלָה֙ בְּיִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל לִזְנ֖וֹת בֵּ֣ית אָבִ֑יהָ וּבִֽעַרְתָּ֥ הָרָ֖ע מִקִּרְבֶּֽךָ׃ ס
22“If a man is found lying with the wife of another man, both of them shall die, the man who lay with the woman, and the woman. So you shall purge the evil from Israel.22כִּֽי־ יִמָּצֵ֨א אִ֜ישׁ שֹׁכֵ֣ב ׀ עִם־ אִשָּׁ֣ה בְעֻֽלַת־ בַּ֗עַל וּמֵ֙תוּ֙ גַּם־ שְׁנֵיהֶ֔ם הָאִ֛ישׁ הַשֹּׁכֵ֥ב עִם־ הָאִשָּׁ֖ה וְהָאִשָּׁ֑ה וּבִֽעַרְתָּ֥ הָרָ֖ע מִיִּשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ ס
23“If there is a betrothed virgin, and a man meets her in the city and lies with her,23כִּ֤י יִהְיֶה֙ [נער] (נַעֲרָ֣ה) בְתוּלָ֔ה מְאֹרָשָׂ֖ה לְאִ֑ישׁ וּמְצָאָ֥הּ אִ֛ישׁ בָּעִ֖יר וְשָׁכַ֥ב עִמָּֽהּ׃
24then you shall bring them both out to the gate of that city, and you shall stone them to death with stones, the young woman because she did not cry for help though she was in the city, and the man because he violated his neighbor’s wife. So you shall purge the evil from your midst.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
25“But if in the open country a man meets a young woman who is betrothed, and the man seizes her and lies with her, then only the man who lay with her shall die.25וְֽאִם־ בַּשָּׂדֶ֞ה יִמְצָ֣א הָאִ֗ישׁ אֶת־ [הנער] (הַֽנַּעֲרָה֙) הַמְאֹ֣רָשָׂ֔ה וְהֶחֱזִֽיק־ בָּ֥הּ הָאִ֖ישׁ וְשָׁכַ֣ב עִמָּ֑הּ וּמֵ֗ת הָאִ֛ישׁ אֲשֶׁר־ שָׁכַ֥ב עִמָּ֖הּ לְבַדּֽוֹ׃
26But you shall do nothing to the young woman; she has committed no offense punishable by death. For this case is like that of a man attacking and murdering his neighbor,26[ולנער] (וְלַֽנַּעֲרָה֙‪‬) לֹא־ תַעֲשֶׂ֣ה דָבָ֔ר אֵ֥ין [לנער] (לַֽנַּעֲרָ֖ה) חֵ֣טְא מָ֑וֶת כִּ֡י כַּאֲשֶׁר֩ יָק֨וּם אִ֤ישׁ עַל־ רֵעֵ֙הוּ֙ וּרְצָח֣וֹ נֶ֔פֶשׁ כֵּ֖ן הַדָּבָ֥ר הַזֶּֽה׃
27because he met her in the open country, and though the betrothed young woman cried for help there was no one to rescue her.27כִּ֥י בַשָּׂדֶ֖ה מְצָאָ֑הּ צָעֲקָ֗ה [הנער] (הַֽנַּעֲרָה֙) הַמְאֹ֣רָשָׂ֔ה וְאֵ֥ין מוֹשִׁ֖יעַ לָֽהּ׃ ס
28“If a man meets a virgin who is not betrothed, and seizes her and lies with her, and they are found,28כִּֽי־ יִמְצָ֣א אִ֗ישׁ [נער] (נַעֲרָ֤ה) בְתוּלָה֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר לֹא־ אֹרָ֔שָׂה וּתְפָשָׂ֖הּ וְשָׁכַ֣ב עִמָּ֑הּ וְנִמְצָֽאוּ׃
29then the man who lay with her shall give to the father of the young woman fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife, because he has violated her. He may not divorce her all his days.29וְ֠נָתַן הָאִ֨ישׁ הַשֹּׁכֵ֥ב עִמָּ֛הּ לַאֲבִ֥י [הנער] (הַֽנַּעֲרָ֖ה) חֲמִשִּׁ֣ים כָּ֑סֶף וְלֽוֹ־ תִהְיֶ֣ה לְאִשָּׁ֗ה תַּ֚חַת אֲשֶׁ֣ר עִנָּ֔הּ לֹא־ יוּכַ֥ל שַׁלְּחָ֖ה‪‬‪‬ כָּל־ יָמָֽיו׃ ס
30“A man shall not take his father’s wife, so that he does not uncover his father’s nakedness.30לֹא־ יִקַּ֥ח אִ֖ישׁ אֶת־ אֵ֣שֶׁת אָבִ֑יו וְלֹ֥א יְגַלֶּ֖ה כְּנַ֥ף אָבִֽיו׃ ס
