Deuteronomy 22:10-18 God's Word Translation (GW)

10. Never plow with an ox and a donkey harnessed together.

11. Never wear clothes made of wool and linen woven together.

12. Make tassels on the four corners of the shawl you wear over your clothes.

13. A man might marry a woman, sleep with her, and decide he doesn’t like her.

14. Then he might make up charges against her and ruin her reputation by saying, “I married this woman. But when I slept with her, I found out she wasn’t a virgin.”

15. The girl’s father and mother must go to the city gate where the leaders of the city are and submit the evidence that their daughter was a virgin.

16. The girl’s father will tell the leaders, “I gave my daughter in marriage to this man, but he doesn’t like her.

17. Now he has made up charges against her. He says he found out that my daughter wasn’t a virgin. But here’s the evidence!” Then the girl’s parents must spread out the cloth in front of the leaders of the city.

18. The leaders of that city must take the man and punish him.
