mourned her father and mother, you may have relations with her and be her husband, and she shall be your wife.

whither she will; but thou

shalt thou do with his
ass; and so
shalt thou do with his
raiment; and with all lost things of thy brother’s, which he hath lost, and thou hast found,
shalt thou do likewise: thou mayest not hide
thyself.
And you shall do the same for his
donkey, his
cloak, or anything your brother has lost and you have found. You must not
ignore it.
Thou
shalt not see thy brother’s
ass or his ox fall down by the way, and hide
thyself from them: thou

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.

slept with her and the woman must die. You must
purge the evil from Israel.

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.
you must take both of them out to the gate of that city and stone them to death—the young woman because she did not cry out in the city, and the man because he has
violated his
neighbor’s wife. So you must
purge the evil from among you.

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:

shalt not
abhor an
Edomite; for he is thy brother: thou
shalt not
abhor an Egyptian; because thou
wast a stranger in his land.

despise an
Edomite, for he is your brother. Do not
despise an Egyptian, because you lived as a foreigner in his land.
Thou
shalt have a place also without the camp,
whither thou
shalt go forth abroad:
And thou
shalt have a
paddle upon thy weapon; and it shall be, when thou
wilt ease
thyself abroad, thou
shalt dig therewith, and

defiled; for that is
abomination before the LORD: and thou
shalt not cause the land to sin, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.

defiled, for that is an
abomination to the LORD. You must not bring sin upon the land that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance.

hired servant that is poor and
needy, whether he be of thy brethren, or of thy strangers that are in thy land within thy gates:

oppress a
hired hand who is poor and
needy, whether he is a brother or a foreigner residing in one of your towns.

shalt give him his
hire, neither shall the sun go down upon it; for he is poor, and setteth his heart upon it: lest he cry against thee unto the LORD, and it be sin unto thee.
