New Testament

Deuteronomy 22:5-18 American Standard Version (ASV)

5. A woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment; for whosoever doeth these things is an abomination unto Jehovah thy God.

6. If a bird’s nest chance to be before thee in the way, in any tree or on the ground, with 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. thou shalt surely let the dam go, but the young thou mayest take unto thyself; 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 thy house, if any man fall from thence.

10. Thou shalt not plow with an ox and an ass together.

11. Thou shalt not wear a mingled stuff, wool and linen together.

12. Thou shalt make thee fringes upon the four borders of thy vesture, wherewith thou coverest thyself.

13. If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate her,

14. and lay shameful things to her charge, and bring up an evil name upon her, and say, I took this woman, and when I came nigh to her, I found not in her the tokens of virginity;

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 laid shameful things to her charge, saying, I found not in thy daughter the tokens of virginity; and yet these are the 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 the man and chastise him;
