4. Don’t just watch your fellow Israelite’s donkey or ox fall down in the road and do nothing about it. You must help your fellow Israelite get the animal up again.
5. Women must not wear men’s clothes, and men must not wear women’s clothes. Everyone who does such things is detestable to the Lord your God.
6. If you come across a bird’s nest along your way, whether in a tree or on the ground, with baby birds or eggs, and the mother is sitting on the baby birds or eggs, do not remove the mother from her young.
7. You must let the mother go, though you may take the young for yourself so that things go well for you and so you can prolong your life.
8. Whenever you build a new house, you must build a railing for the roof so that you don’t end up with innocent blood on your hands because someone fell off of it.
9. Don’t plant your vineyards with two types of seed; otherwise, the entire crop that you have planted and the produce of the vineyard will be unusable.
10. Don’t plow with an ox and a donkey together.
11. Don’t wear clothes that mix wool and linen together.
12. Make tassels for the four corners of the coat you wear.
13. Suppose a man gets married and consummates the marriage but subsequently despises his wife.
14. He then spreads false claims about her to the point that she has a bad reputation, because he said such things as, "I married this woman, but when I went to have sex with her, I couldn’t find any proof that she was a virgin."
15. At that point, the young woman’s father and mother will bring proof of her virginity to the city’s elders at the city gate.
16. The young woman’s father will say to the elders: "I gave my daughter to this man to be his wife, but he doesn’t like her anymore.
17. That’s why he has spread false claims about her, saying, ‘I couldn’t find any proof that your daughter was a virgin.’ But look! Here’s proof of my daughter’s virginity." At that point they will spread out the blanket in front of the city’s elders.
18. The city’s elders must then take that husband and punish him.
19. They will fine him one hundred silver shekels, giving that to the young woman’s father, because that husband gave one of Israel’s virgin daughters a bad reputation. Moreover, she must remain his wife; he is never allowed to divorce her.
