New Testament

Deuter­­onomy 22:5-15 Modern English Version (MEV)

5. A woman must not wear man’s clothing, nor is a man to put on a woman’s clothing. For all that do so are abominations to the Lord your God.

6. If you happen to notice a bird’s nest along the way, in any tree or on the ground, whether they be young ones or eggs, and the mother is sitting on the young or on the eggs, you are not to take the mother from the young.

7. You must certainly let the mother go, but you may take the young for yourself, so that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days.

8. When you build a new house, you must make a guard rail for your roof so that you bring no blood guilt on your house, should anyone fall from there.

9. You must not sow your vineyard with two kinds of seeds, or the fruit of your seed which you have sown and the fruit of your vineyard will be defiled.

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

11. You must not wear clothing made of a material of wool and linen together.

12. You must make tassels on the four quarters of your clothing with which you cover yourself.

13. If any man takes a wife and has sexual relations with her and then rejects her,

14. and accuses her of impropriety and publicly defames her, saying, “I married this woman, but when I had sexual relations with her, I found her not to be a virgin,”

15. then the father and mother of the girl must produce evidence of the girl’s virginity to the elders of the city at the gate.
