05:022:009 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.

05:022:010 Thou shalt not plow with an ox and an ass together.

05:022:011 Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts, as of woollen and linen together.

05:022:012 Thou shalt make thee fringes upon the four quarters of thy vesture, wherewith thou coverest thyself.

05:022:013 If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate her,

05:022:014 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:

05:022:015 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:

05:022:016 And the damsel's father shall say unto the elders, I gave my daughter unto this man to wife, and he hateth her;

05:022:017 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.

05:022:018 And the elders of that city shall take that man and chastise him;

05:022:019 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.

05:022:020 But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel:

05:022:021 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.

05:022:022 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.

05:022:023 If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto an husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her;

05:022:024 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.

05:022:025 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.

05:022:026 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:

05:022:027 For he found her in the field, and the betrothed damsel cried, and there was none to save her.

05:022:028 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;

05:022:029 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.

05:022:030 A man shall not take his father's wife, nor discover his father's skirt.

05:023:001 He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD.

05:023:002 A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the LORD.

05:023:003 An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to their tenth generation shall they not enter into the congregation of the LORD for ever:

05:023:004 Because they met you not with bread and with water in the way, when ye came forth out of Egypt; and because they hired against thee Balaam the son of Beor of Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse thee.

05:023:005 Nevertheless the LORD thy God would not hearken unto Balaam; but the LORD thy God turned the curse into a blessing unto thee, because the LORD thy God loved thee.

05:023:006 Thou shalt not seek their peace nor their prosperity all thy days for ever.
