Deuteronomy 22:6-17 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

6. If a bird's nest happens to be before you in the way in any tree, or on the ground, whether they are young ones, or eggs, and the mother sitting upon the young, or upon the eggs, you shall not take the mother with the young:

7. But you shall surely let the mother go, and take the young for yourself; that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days.

8. When you build a new house, then you shall make a parapet for your roof, that you bring not the guilt of blood upon your house, if any man fall from there.

9. You shall not sow your vineyard with different seeds: lest the fruit of your seed which you have sown, and the fruit of your vineyard, be defiled.

10. You shall not plow with an ox and a donkey together.

11. You shall not wear a garment of different sorts, as of woolen and linen together.

12. You shall make tassels upon the four corners of your cloak, with which you cover yourself.

13. If any man takes a wife, and goes in unto her, and hates her,

14. And charges her with shameful conduct, and brings an evil name upon her, and says, I took this woman, and when I came to her, I found her not a virgin:

15. Then shall the father of the young woman, and her mother, take and bring forth the evidence of the young woman's virginity unto the elders of the city in the gate:

16. And the young woman's father shall say unto the elders, I gave my daughter unto this man as a wife, and he hates her;

17. And, lo, he has charged her with shameful conduct, saying, I found not your daughter a virgin; and yet these are the evidence of my daughter's virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city.
