Deuteronomy 22:8-20 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

8. When thou buildest a new house, thou shalt make a parapet for thy roof, that thou bring not blood upon thy house, if any one should in any wise fall from it.

9. Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with seed of two sorts, lest the whole of thy seed which thou hast sown, and the produce of thy vineyard, be forfeited.

20. But if this thing is true, and virginity hath not been found with the damsel;
