6. Suppose you happen to find a bird's nest beside the road. It might be in a tree or on the ground. And suppose the mother bird is sitting on her little birds or on the eggs. Then don't take the mother along with the little ones.
7. You can take the little ones. But make sure you let the mother go. Then things will go well with you. You will live for a long time.
8. If you build a new house, put a low wall around the edge of your roof. Then you won't be held accountable if someone falls off your roof and dies.
9. Don't plant two kinds of seeds in your vineyard. If you do, the crops you grow there will be polluted. Your grapes will also be polluted.
10. Don't let an ox and a donkey pull the same plow together.
11. Don't wear clothes made of wool and linen that are woven together.
12. Make tassels on the four corners of the coat you wear.
13. Suppose a man gets married to a woman and makes love to her. But then he doesn't like her.
14. So he tells lies about her and says she's a bad woman. He says, "I got married to this woman. But when I made love to her, I discovered she wasn't a virgin."
15. Then the woman's parents must bring proof that she was a virgin. They must give the proof to the elders at the gate of the town.
16. The woman's father will speak to the elders. He'll say, "I gave my daughter to this man to be his wife. But he doesn't like her.
17. So now he has told lies about her. He has said, 'I discovered that your daughter wasn't a virgin.' But here's the proof that my daughter was a virgin." Then her parents will show the elders of the town the cloth that has her blood on it.
18. The elders will punish the man.
