Devarim 22:7-20 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

7. But thou shalt in any wise let the mother go, and take the young to thee; that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy yamim.

8. When thou buildest a bais chadash, then thou shalt make a parapet for thy roof, that thou bring not dahm (blood guiltiness) upon thine bais, if any fall from thence.

9. Thou shalt not sow thy kerem with different seeds; lest the fruit of thy zera which thou hast sown, and the fruit of thy kerem, be defiled.

10. Thou shalt not plow with a shor and a chamor together.

11. Thou shalt not wear a garment of different sorts, as of woolen and linen together.

12. Thou shalt make thee gedilim (fringes, tzitzis, twisted threads) upon the four corners of thy garment, wherewith thou coverest thyself.

13. If any ish take an isha, and go in unto her, and hate her,

14. And give occasions of speech against her, and bring up a shem rah (bad name) upon her, and say, I took this isha, and when I came to her, I found her with no betulim (proofs of virginity);

15. Then shall the av of the na'arah, and her em, take and bring forth the betulim (proofs of virginity) unto the zekenim of the town in the sha'arah (gate);

17. And, hinei, he hath given occasions of speech against her, saying, I found not thy bat with betulim; and yet these are my bat's betulim. And they shall spread the simlah (clothing) before the zekenim of the town.

18. And the zekenim of that town shall take that ish and punish him;

19. And they shall fine him a hundred shekels of kesef, and give them unto the avi hana'arah, because he hath brought a shem rah (bad name) upon a betulat Yisroel; and she shall be his isha; he may not put her away all his yamim.

20. But if this thing be emes, and the betulim be not found for the na'arah;
