the city.

Then the elders of the city shall take the man, and chasten him.

And he shall pay an hundred shekels of silver, and shall give them unto the damsel’s father, because he hath put a virgin to shame in Israel: and he shall take her to wife, that he may not put her away all the days of his life.

But if it be true, that the damsel is not found a virgin,

And they shall bring her out unto the door of her father’s house, and the men of the city shall stone her to death, because she hath committed folly in Israel, and because she hath entered into her father’s house: and thou shalt put away evil from among you.

If a man be found sleeping with a woman that hath an husband, they shall both die, the man and the woman with whom he slept: and thou shalt do the evil of Israel.

If a damsel be familiar with any man, and a man get her in the city, and sleep with her, 24. Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of the city, and ye shall stone them both to death: the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city; the man, because he hath violated his neighbour’s wife; and thou shalt put away evil from among you.

And if a man get a familiar maid in the field, and take her, and lie with her, then the man that slept with her shall die alone.

And thou shalt not hurt the harlot: for she hath done no sin worthy of death: but as a man riseth up against his neighbour, and killeth his soul, so is it.

For he found her in the field, and the familiar damsel cried out, and there was none to help her.

If a man come unto a virgin that is not trusted, and take her, and sleep with her, and be found so,

And he that slept with her shall give unto her father fifty shekels of silver, and shall have her to wife, because he hath made her weak: he cannot leave her all the days of his life.

No man shall take his father’s wife, nor uncover his father’s covering.

Chapter 23
who belongs to the congregation of the Lord or not.

There shall no man be cut off, nor cut off, in the congregation of the LORD.
2: Neither shall any whoremonger enter into the congregation of the LORD, even after the tenth generation; but shall not enter evil into the congregation of the LORD.

The Ammonites and the Moabites shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD, even after the tenth generation: they shall never enter in,

Because they prevented you not with bread and water in the way, when ye came out of Egypt, and hired Balaam the son of Beor of Pethor of Mesopotamia against you, to curse thee.

But the LORD thy God would not hearken unto Balaam, and changed thy curse into a blessing, because the LORD thy God loved thee.

Thou shalt not wish them happiness or good all thy days for ever.

The children which they beget in the third generation shall come into the congregation of the LORD.

When thou goest out of the camp against thine enemies, beware of all evil.

If there be any among thee that is not clean, and any thing hath befallen him in the night, let him go out of the camp, and let him not come in again,

Till he bathe himself in water before even. And when the sun is down, he shall go into the camp again.

And thou shalt have a place without the camp, where thou mayest go in time of need.

And thou shalt have a little shovel, and when thou sittest without, thou shalt dig therewith: and when thou hast sat down, thou shalt gather up that which is gone out of thee.

For the LORD thy God walketh among thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give thine enemies before thee. Therefore let thy camp be holy, that no shame be seen among thee, and let him turn away from thee.

Thou shalt not deliver up a servant unto his master, who hath escaped from him unto thee.

He shall dwell with thee in the place which he shall choose within thy gates for his good; and thou shalt not oppress him.

There shall be no whore among the daughters of Israel, neither shall there be a fornicator among the sons of Israel.

Thou shalt not bring a whore’s fee, nor a dog’s fee, into the house of the LORD thy God, for any vow: for it is an abomination unto the LORD thy God.

Thou shalt not usury thy brother, neither with money, nor with meat, nor with any thing to usury.

In the stranger thou mayest multiply, but not in thy brother: that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all that thou undertakest in the land whither thou goest to possess it.

If thou vow a vow unto the LORD thy God, thou shalt not forsake to keep it: for the LORD
thy God shall require it of thee, and it shall be sin unto thee.

If thou let thy vows go by, it is no sin unto thee.

But that which went out to thy lips thou shalt keep, and do according to that which thou hast freely vowed unto the LORD thy God, which thou hast spoken with thy mouth.

When thou goest into thy neighbour’s vineyard, thou mayest eat of the grapes according to thy will, until thou be full; but thou shalt not put any thing into thy vessel.

When thou goest into thy neighbour’s seed, thou mayest pluck the ears of corn with thine hand; but with the sickle thou shalt not go to and fro within it.
(Deuteronomy)
Chapter 24
Laws, mainly concerning the domestic state.

If a man take a wife, and marry her, and she find not favour in his sight, because of any displeasure, then he shall write a bill of divorcement, and put it in her hand, and put her out of his house.

When she is gone out of his house, and is gone, and is married to another, 3. And the same other man shall be angry with her, and shall write her a bill of divorcement, and put it into her hand, and let her out of his house: or if the same other man die, who had taken her to wife:

Then her first husband, which put her away, cannot take her again to be his wife, because she is unclean: for this is abomination in the sight of the LORD, lest thou make the land to sin, which the LORD thy God hath given thee for an inheritance.

If a man hath lately taken a wife, he shall not go forth to war, neither shall anything be laid upon him. He shall be at liberty in his house a year, and shall rejoice with his wife whom he hath taken.

But thou shalt stand without, and he to whom thou borest shall bring forth his pledge unto thee.

But if he be a poor man, thou shalt not lie down over his pledge, 13. But thou shalt restore him his pledge when the sun goeth down, and he shall sleep in his garment, and bless thee. This shall be a righteousness unto thee before the LORD thy God.

Thou shalt not withhold wages from the poor and needy, whether they be of thy brethren, or strangers that are in thy land, or within thy gates,

But thou shalt give him his hire of the day, that the sun go not down upon it: for he is scanty, and shall preserve his soul therewith, lest he call upon the LORD against thee, and be sin unto thee.

Fathers shall not die for children, nor children for fathers: but every man shall die for his own sin.

Thou shalt not pervert the right of the stranger, nor of the fatherless; neither shalt thou take the widow’s garment for a pledge.

For thou shalt remember that thou wast a servant in Egypt, and that the LORD thy God redeemed thee from thence. Therefore I command thee to do this thing.

When thou hast reaped in thy field, and hast forgotten a sheaf in the field, then thou shalt not return to fetch it; but it shall be to the stranger, and to the fatherless, and to the widow; that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the works of thine hands.

When thou hast shaken thy olive trees, thou shalt not shake them again: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.

When thou hast gleaned thy vineyard, thou shalt not glean it: it shall be of the stranger, and of the fatherless, and of the widow.

And thou shalt
