Precepts and Iudgementes.

1   Thov shalt not see thy brothers oxe, or sheepe straying, and passe by: but shalt bring it backe to thy brother,

2   although thy brother be not nigh, and thou know him not: thou shalt bring them vnto thy house, and they shal be with thee vntil thy brother seeke them, and receiue them.

3   In like manner shalt thou doe with his asse, and with his rayment, and with euerie thing of thy brothers, that shal be lost: if thou finde it, neglect it nor as perteyning to an other.

4   If thou see thy brothers asse or oxe to be fallen in the way, thou shalt not contemne it, but shalt lift it vp with him.

5   A woman shal not be clothed with mans apparel, neither shal a man vse womans apparel: for he is abominable before God that doeth these thinges.

6   If walking by the way thou finde a birdes nest in a tree or on the ground, and the damme sitting vpon the young or the egges: thou shalt not hold her with her young,

7   but shalt let her goe, taking the young and holding them: that it may be wel with thee, and thou mayest liue a long time.

8   When thou buildest a new house, thou shalt make note a batlement to the roofe round about: lest bloud be shed in thy house, and thou be guiltie an other slipping, and falling headlong.

9   Thou shalt not sowe thy vineyard with diuerse seede: lest both the seede which thou didst sow, and the thinges that grow of the vineyard, note be sanctified together.

10   Thou shalt not plough with an oxe and asse together.

11   Thou shalt not weare a garment that is wouen of wolle and linnen.

12   Thou shalt make litle cordes in the hemme at the foure corners of thy cloke, wherwith thou shalt be couered.

13   If a man marrie a wife, and afterward hate her,

14   and seeke occasions to put her away, obiecting vnto her a verie il name, and say: I tooke this wife, and compayning with her: I found her not a virgin:

15   her father and mother shal take her, and shal carie with them the signes of her virginitie to the ancientes of the citie that are in the gate:

16   and the father shal say: I gaue my daughter vnto this man to wife: whom because he hateth,

17   he layeth vnto her a verie il name, so that he sayeth: I found not thy daughter a virgin: and behold these are the signes of my daughters virginitie. they shal spread the vesture before the ancientes of the citie:

18   and the ancientes of that citie shal take the man, and beate him,

19   condemning him besides in a hundred sicles of siluer, which he shal geue to

20   But if it be true which he obiected, and virginitie be not found in the wench:

21   they shal cast her forth without the doores of her fathers house, and the men of her citie shal stone her to death, and she shal die: because she hath done wickednes in Israel, to fornicate in her fathers house: and thou shalt take away the euil out of the middes of thee.

22   If a man lie with an others mans wife, both shal die, that is to say, the aduouterer and the aduouteresse: and thou shalt take away the euil out of Israel.

23   If a man haue despoused a maide that is a virgine, and some man finde her in the citie, and lie with her,

24   thou shalt bring forh both of them to the gate of that citie, and they shal be stoned: the maide, because she cried not, being in the citie: the man, because he hath humbled his neighbours wife and thou shalt take away the euil from the middes of thee.

25   But if the man finde the maide that is despoused, in the field, and taking her, lie with her, he alone shal die:

26   the maide shal suffer nothing, neither is she guiltie of death: for as a theefe ryseth against his brother, and taketh away his life, so also did the maide suffer.

27   she was alone in the field: she cried, and there was no man to deliuer her.

28   If a man finde a maide that is a virgin, which hath not a spouse, and taking her lie with her, and the matter come into iudgement:

29   he that lay with her, shal geue to the father of the maide fiftie sicles of siluer, and shal haue her to wife, because he hath humbled her: he can not put her away al the daies of his life.

30   No man shal take his fathers wife, nor reuele his couering.
