10 When you go out to battle against your enemies, and YAHUVEH your ELOHIM
has given them into your hands, and you have taken them captive; 11 and you have seen in the captivity a woman of beautiful form, and you desire
her, even to take her to you for a wife, 12 then you shall bring her into the midst of your household. And she shall
shave her head, and prepare her nails, 13 and shall remove the clothing of her captivity from her, and shall live in
your house, and shall sorrow for her father and her mother a month of days. Then
afterwards you shall go in to her, and shall marry her; and she shall be a wife
to you. 14 And it shall be, if you do not delight in her, you shall send her away at her
desire; and you shall not at all sell her for silver; you shall not treat her as
a slave, because you have humbled her. 15 If a man has two wives, the one loved, and the other hated; and they have
borne him sons, both the loved one and the hated one; and if the firstborn son
was of her who was hated, (Mk 10:1-10) 16 then it shall be, in the day that he causes his sons to inherit that which is
his, he is not able to cause to inherit the first-born son of the one loved
before the first-born son of the one hated, who is truly the first-born. 17 But he shall respect the first-born, the son of the hated one, by giving him
a double portion of all that he has; for he is the first-fruit of his strength,
the right of the first-born is his. 18 If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not listen to his
father’s voice, or his mother’s voice; even though they discipline him, he will
not listen to them; 19 then his father and his mother shall lay hold on him and bring him out to the
elders of his city, and to the gate of his place; 20 and they shall say to the elders of his city, This son of ours is stubborn
and rebellious; he will not listen to our voice; he is a glutton, and a
drunkard. 21 And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, and he shall die. So
you shall put away the evil from among you that all Israel shall hear, and fear. 22 And if a man has committed a sin worthy of death, and he is executed, and you
hang him on a tree, 23 his body shall not remain all night on the tree; but surely, you shall bury
him the same day. For he that is hanged is a reproach to ELOHIM. And you shall
not defile your land which YAHUVEH your ELOHIM is giving to you as an
inheritance. *~Deuteronomy Chapter 22 ~*
1 You shall not see your brother’s ox or his sheep driven away, and hide
yourself from them. surely you shall return them back to your brother. 2 And if your brother is not near you, and you do not know him, then you shall
surely bring it home to your house; and it shall be with you until your brother
inquires of it; and you shall restore it to him. 3 And so you shall do with his donkey, and so you will do with his clothing, and
so you shall do with everything lost of your brother’s, which he has lost and
you have found; you may not hide it. 4 You shall not see your brother’s donkey or his ox fallen down in the highway,
and hide yourself from them. Surely, you shall help him lift it up. 5 There shall not be the thing of a man on a woman, nor shall a man put on a
woman’s garment. For whoever does these things is an abomination to YAHUVEH your
ELOHIM. 6 If a bird’s nest happens to be before you in the way in any tree, or on the
ground, with young ones, or eggs; and the mother is sitting on the young, or on
the eggs, you shall not take the mother with the young. 7 But in every case you shall let the mother go, and take the young for
yourself, so that it may be well with you, and you may prolong your days. 8 When you build a new house, then you shall make a guardrail for your roof, so
that you do not put blood on your house if someone falls from it. 9 You shall not sow your vineyard with different kinds of seeds, that the fruit
of your seed which you have sown and the fruit of your vineyard not be defiled. 10 You shall not plow with an ox and a donkey together. 11 You shall not wear a garment of different kinds, of wool and linen together. 12 You shall make for yourself tassels on the four corners of your cloak which
you cover with. 13 If any man takes a wife, and goes in to her, and hates her, 14 then makes against her shameful charges, and brings up an evil name on her,
and says, I took this woman, and when I came near her, I did not find in her the
tokens of virginity. 15 Then the girl’s father and her mother shall take and bring the girl’s tokens
of virginity to the elders of the city in the gate. 16 And the girl’s father shall say to the elders, I have given my daughter to
this man for a wife, and he hates her. 17 And, behold, he has laid shameful charges, saying, I have not found in your
daughter the tokens of virginity. And yet see these tokens of my daughter’s
virginity. And they shall spread the garment before the elders of the city. 18 And the elders of that city shall take that man and punish him. 19 And they shall fine him a hundred pieces of silver, and give them to the
girl’s father, because he has brought an evil name on a virgin of Israel. And
she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days. 20 But if this thing is true that tokens of virginity have not been found for
the girl, 21 then they shall bring out the girl to the door of her father’s house. And the
men of her city shall stone her with stones, and she shall die; for she has done
folly in Israel, to commit fornication in her father’s house. And you shall put
away the evil from among you. 22 If a man is found lying with a woman married to a husband, then they shall
both of them die, the man that lay with the woman, and the woman. And you shall
put away the evil from Israel. 23 If there is a girl that is a virgin, betrothed to a man, and a man finds her
in the city, and they commit fornication together, 24 then you shall bring them both out to the gate of that city. And you shall
stone them with stones so that they die, the girl because she did not cry out,
being in the city; and the man, because he has humbled his neighbor’s wife. And
you shall put away the evil from among you. 25 But if a man finds a betrothed girl in the field, and the man forces her and
lies with her; then only the man that lay with her shall die. 26 And you shall do nothing to the girl; the girl has no sin worthy of death;
for as when a man rises against his neighbor and murders him, even so is this
matter. 27 For he found her in the field, and the betrothed girl cried out, but no one
saved her. 28 If a man finds a virgin girl, not being betrothed, and manipulates her and
commits fornication with her, and they be found; 29 then the man lying with her shall give to the girl’s father fifty pieces of
silver, and she shall be his wife, because he has humbled her. He may not put
her away all his days. 30 A man shall not take his father’s wife, and shall not uncover his father’s
skirt.
*~ Deuteronomy Chapter 23 ~*
1 He being wounded, crushed, or cut in his male member shall not enter into the
assembly of YAHUVEH. 2 An illegitimate child shall not enter into the congregation of YAHUVEH, even
to the tenth generation none of his shall enter into the assembly of YAHUVEH. 3 An Ammonite or a Moabite shall not enter into the congregation of YAHUVEH;
even to the tenth generation shall none of them enter into the assembly of
YAHUVEH, perpetually; 4 because they did not meet you with bread and with water in the way when you
came out of Egypt; and because they hired against you Balaam the son of Beor,
from Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse you. 5 But YAHUVEH your ELOHIM would not listen to Balaam, and YAHUVEH your ELOHIM
turned the curse into a blessing to you, because YAHUVEH your ELOHIM loved you. 6 You shall not seek their peace nor their prosperity all your days,
perpetually. 7 You shall not despise an Edomite, for he is your brother. You shall not
despise an Egyptian, for you were an alien in his land; 8 sons of the third generation that are born to them may enter into the assembly
of YAHUVEH. 9 When you go forth into camp against your enemies, then keep yourself from
every evil thing. 10 If there is among you any man who is not clean because of a discharge at
night, then he shall go to the outside of the camp; he shall not come in to the
middle of the camp. 11 And it shall be, as evening is turning, he shall bathe with water, and as the
sun is going, he shall come into the middle of the camp. 12 Also you shall have a place outside the camp, and you shall go out there. 13 And you shall have a tool on your staff. And it shall be, as you sit outside,
you shall dig with it, and shall turn back, and shall cover that which comes
from you. 14 For YAHUVEH your ELOHIM walks in the middle of your camp to deliver you and
to give up your enemies before you; therefore your camp shall be holy, so that
He may see no unclean thing in you, and turn away from you. 15 You shall not hand over to his master a slave that has escaped from his
master to you. 16 He shall live with you, among you, in the place which he chooses inside one
of your gates, wherever it is good to him. You shall not oppress him. 17 There shall be no harlot among the daughters of Israel, nor shall there be a
homosexual among the sons of Israel. 18 You shall not bring the hire of a prostitute, or the price of a dog, into the
house of YAHUVEH your ELOHIM for any vow; for even both of these are an
abomination to YAHUVEH your ELOHIM. 19 You shall not lend at interest to your brother; interest of silver, interest
of food, interest of anything loaned at interest. 20 To a stranger you may lend at interest, but you shall not lend at interest to
your brother, so that YAHUVEH your ELOHIM may bless you in all that you put your
hand to, in the land where you go to possess it. 21 When you shall vow a vow to YAHUVEH your ELOHIM, you shall not delay to
perform it; for YAHUVEH your ELOHIM will certainly require it of you, and it
shall be sin to you. 22 But if you shall forebear to vow, it shall be no sin to you. 23 That which has gone out of your lips, you shall keep, and shall do it.
According as you have vowed as a freewill offering to YAHUVEH your ELOHIM, do
even that which you have spoken with your mouth. 24When you come into your neighbor’s vineyard, then you may eat grapes to your
fill, at your pleasure. But you shall not put any in your vessel. 25 When you come into your neighbor’s standing grain, then you may pluck heads
with your hand; but you shall not move a sickle into your neighbor’s standing
grain.
*~ Deuteronomy Chapter 24 ~*
1 When a man has taken a wife and married her, and it happens that she finds no
favor in his eyes because he has found a thing of uncleanness in her, and he
writes her a bill of divorce and puts it in her hand, and sends her out of his
house; 2 and if she goes out from his house and goes and becomes another man’s wife, 3 and the latter husband hates her, and writes her a bill of divorce, and puts
it in her hand, and sends her out of his house or if the latter husband who took
her to be his wife dies; 4 her former husband who sent her away is not to take her again to be his wife,
after she is defiled. For it is an abomination before YAHUVEH, and you shall not
cause the land to sin which YAHUVEH your ELOHIM is giving to you as an
inheritance. 5 When a man has taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war, and he shall not
be given any thing to do. He shall be free at his own house for one year, and
shall gladden his wife whom he has taken. 6 No one shall take in pledge the lower and upper millstone, for he is taking a
man’s life to pledge. 7 If a man is found stealing a person of his brothers of the sons of Israel, and
has dealt with him as a slave, and sold him, then that thief shall die. And you
shall put away the evil from among you. 8 Be on guard in the plague of leprosy, that you watch closely and do according
to all that the Levitical priests shall teach you. As I commanded them, so you
shall be careful to do. 9 Remember that which YAHUVEH your ELOHIM did to Miriam in the way, as you came
out of Egypt. 10 When you lend your neighbor any kind of loan, you shall not go into his house
to get his pledge. 11 You shall stand outside, and the man to whom you lend shall bring the pledge
outside to you. 12 And if the man is poor, you shall not sleep with his pledge. 13 You shall certainly give back the pledge to him at sundown; and he shall lie
down in his own clothing, and shall bless you. And it shall be righteousness to
you before YAHUVEH your ELOHIM. 14 You shall not oppress a poor and needy hired servant, of your brothers or of
your aliens who are in your land, within your gates. 15 In the same day you shall give him his hire; do not let the sun go down on
it. For he is poor, and has lifted up his heart on it; that he not cry against
you to YAHUVEH, and it be sin against you. 16 The fathers shall not be executed for sons, and sons shall not be executed
for fathers; they each shall be executed for his own sin. 17 You shall not pervert judgment of an alien, or of an orphan; and you shall
not take a widow’s garment as pledge. 18 But you shall remember that you were a slave in Egypt, and YAHUVEH your
ELOHIM redeemed you from there. For that reason I command you to do this thing. 19 When you cut down your harvest in your field, and have forgotten a sheaf in
the field, you shall not turn back to take it. It shall be for the alien, for
the orphan, and for the widow; so that YAHUVEH your ELOHIM shall bless you in
all the work of your hand. 20 When you beat your olive tree, you shall not search the branch behind you. It
shall be for the alien, for the orphan, and for the widow. 21 When you gather the grapes of your vineyard, you shall not glean it
afterward. It shall be for the alien, for the orphan, and for the widow. 22 And you shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt. On account
of this I am commanding you to do this thing. *~ Deuteronomy Chapter 25 ~*
1 If there is a contention between men, and they come to judgment, and they have
been judged, and the righteous one is declared righteous, and the wrongdoer
declared guilty; 2 then it shall be, if the wrongdoer is a son of stripes, the judge shall cause
him to fall down. And one shall strike him before his face, enough for his
wickedness, by number. 3 He may give him forty stripes; he shall not add more, lest, if he should
exceed and beat him above these with many stripes, then your brother would be
dishonored before your eyes. 4 You shall not muzzle an ox when he is treading out grain. 5 If brothers live together, and one of them dies, and has no son, the wife of
the dead shall not go outside to a strange man; her brother-in-law shall go in
to her, and take her to himself for a wife, and shall perform the duty of the
levirate; 6 and it shall be, the first-born which she bears shall rise up for his dead
brother’s name, and his name shall not be wiped out of Israel. 7 And if the man does not desire to take his brother’s wife then his brother’s
wife shall go up to the gate, to the elders, and say, My husband’s brother is
refusing to raise up a name to his brother in Israel; he has not been willing to
perform the duty of my levirate. 8 And the elders of his city shall call for him and shall speak to him. And he
shall stand and say, I have no desire to take her. 9 Then his brother’s wife shall draw near to him before the elders, and shall
take his shoe from his foot, and spit in his face, and shall answer and say, So
it shall be done to the man who will not build up the house of his brother. 10 And his name shall be called in Israel, The house of him whose shoe was taken
off. 11 When men fight together, a man and his brother, and the wife of the one shall
come near to deliver her husband from his assailant’s hand, and shall put out
her hand and lay hold on his genitals, 12 then you shall cut off her palm; your eye shall not pity. 13 You shall not have in your bag a stone and a stone weight, a great and a
small. 14 You shall not have in your house an ephah and an ephah, a great and a small. 15 You shall have a perfect and just weight; you shall have a perfect and just
ephah; so that they prolong your days in the land which YAHUVEH your ELOHIM is
giving to you. 16 For anyone doing these things is hateful to YAHUVEH your ELOHIM, everyone
doing unrighteousness. 17 Remember what Amalek did to you by the way as you came forth out of Egypt; 18 how he met you on the way and attacked your back, all the feeble ones in the
rear, when you were faint and weary; and he did not fear ELOHIM. 19 And it shall be, when YAHUVEH your ELOHIM gives you rest from all your
enemies all around in the land which YAHUVEH your ELOHIM is giving to you as an
inheritance to possess it, you shall blot out the remembrance of Amalek from
under the heavens; you shall not forget.
