   Deuteronomy Chapter 21   
      
   1 If one be found slain in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee   
   to possess it, lying in the field, and it be not known who hath slain him:   
      
   2 Then thy elders and thy judges shall come forth, and they shall   
   measure unto the cities which are round about him that is slain:   
      
   3 And it shall be, that the city which is next unto the slain man, even   
   the elders of that city shall take an heifer, which hath not been   
   wrought with, and which hath not drawn in the yoke;   
      
   4 And the elders of that city shall bring down the heifer unto a rough   
   valley, which is neither eared nor sown, and shall strike off the   
   heifer's neck there in the valley:   
      
   5 And the priests the sons of Levi shall come near; for them the LORD   
   thy God hath chosen to minister unto him, and to bless in the name of   
   the LORD; and by their word shall every controversy and every stroke be   
   tried:   
      
   6 And all the elders of that city, that are next unto the slain man,   
   shall wash their hands over the heifer that is beheaded in the valley:   
      
   7 And they shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed this blood,   
   neither have our eyes seen it.   
      
   8 Be merciful, O LORD, unto thy people Israel, whom thou hast redeemed,   
   and lay not innocent blood unto thy people of Israel's charge. And the   
   blood shall be forgiven them.   
      
   9 So shalt thou put away the guilt of innocent blood from among you,   
   when thou shalt do that which is right in the sight of the LORD.   
      
   10 When thou goest forth to war against thine enemies, and the LORD thy   
   God hath delivered them into thine hands, and thou hast taken them captive,   
      
   11 And seest among the captives a beautiful woman, and hast a desire   
   unto her, that thou wouldest have her to thy wife;   
      
   12 Then thou shalt bring her home to thine house; and she shall shave   
   her head, and pare her nails;   
      
   13 And she shall put the raiment of her captivity from off her, and   
   shall remain in thine house, and bewail her father and her mother a full   
   month: and after that thou shalt go in unto her, and be her husband, and   
   she shall be thy wife.   
      
   14 And it shall be, if thou have no delight in her, then thou shalt let   
   her go whither she will; but thou shalt not sell her at all for money,   
   thou shalt not make merchandise of her, because thou hast humbled her.   
      
   15 If a man have two wives, one beloved, and another hated, and they   
   have born him children, both the beloved and the hated; and if the   
   firstborn son be hers that was hated:   
      
   16 Then it shall be, when he maketh his sons to inherit that which he   
   hath, that he may not make the son of the beloved firstborn before the   
   son of the hated, which is indeed the firstborn:   
      
   17 But he shall acknowledge the son of the hated for the firstborn, by   
   giving him a double portion of all that he hath: for he is the beginning   
   of his strength; the right of the firstborn is his.   
      
   18 If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the   
   voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they   
   have chastened him, will not hearken unto them:   
      
   19 Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him   
   out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place;   
      
   20 And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is   
   stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton,   
   and a drunkard.   
      
   21 And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die:   
   so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear,   
   and fear.   
      
   22 And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be to be   
   put to death, and thou hang him on a tree:   
      
   23 His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in   
   any wise bury him that day; (for he that is hanged is accursed of God;)   
   that thy land be not defiled, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an   
   inheritance.   
      
   Deuteronomy Chapter 22   
      
   1 Thou shalt not see thy brother's ox or his sheep go astray, and hide   
   thyself from them: thou shalt in any case bring them again unto thy brother.   
      
   2 And if thy brother be not nigh unto thee, or if thou know him not,   
   then thou shalt bring it unto thine own house, and it shall be with thee   
   until thy brother seek after it, and thou shalt restore it to him again.   
      
   3 In like manner shalt thou do with his ass; and so shalt thou do with   
   his raiment; and with all lost thing of thy brother's, which he hath   
   lost, and thou hast found, shalt thou do likewise: thou mayest not hide   
   thyself.   
      
   4 Thou shalt not see thy brother's ass or his ox fall down by the way,   
   and hide thyself from them: thou shalt surely help him to lift them up   
   again.   
      
   5 The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither   
   shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination   
   unto the LORD thy God.   
      
   6 If a bird's nest chance to be before thee in the way in any tree, or   
   on the ground, whether they be young ones, or eggs, and the dam sitting   
   upon the young, or upon the eggs, thou shalt not take the dam with the   
   young:   
      
   7 But thou shalt in any wise let the dam go, and take the young to thee;   
   that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days.   
      
   8 When thou buildest a new house, then thou shalt make a battlement for   
   thy roof, that thou bring not blood upon thine house, if any man fall   
   from thence.   
      
   9 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.   
      
   10 Thou shalt not plow with an ox and an ass together.   
      
   11 Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts, as of woollen and   
   linen together.   
      
   12 Thou shalt make thee fringes upon the four quarters of thy vesture,   
   wherewith thou coverest thyself.   
      
   13 If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate her,   
      
   14 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:   
      
   15 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:   
      
   16 And the damsel's father shall say unto the elders, I gave my daughter   
   unto this man to wife, and he hateth her;   
      
   17 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.   
      
   18 And the elders of that city shall take that man and chastise him;   
      
   19 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.   
      
   20 But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found   
   for the damsel:   
      
   21 Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father's
