Deuteronomy 22:4-16 World Messianic Bible British Edition (WMBBE)

4. You shall not see your brother’s donkey or his ox fallen down by the way, and hide yourself from them. You shall surely help him to lift them up again.

5. A woman shall not wear men’s clothing, neither shall a man put on women’s clothing; for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God.

6. If you come across a bird’s nest on the way, in any tree or on the ground, with young ones or eggs, and the hen sitting on the young, or on the eggs, you shall not take the hen with the young.

7. You shall surely let the hen go, but the young you may take 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 railing around your roof, so that you don’t bring blood on your house if anyone falls from there.

9. You shall not sow your vineyard with two kinds of seed, lest all the fruit be defiled, the seed which you have sown, and the increase of the vineyard.

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

11. You shall not wear clothes of wool and linen woven together.

12. You shall make yourselves fringes on the four corners of your cloak with which you cover yourself.

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

14. accuses her of shameful things, and gives her a bad name, and says, “I took this woman, and when I came near to her, I didn’t find in her the tokens of virginity;”

15. then the young lady’s father and mother shall take and bring the tokens of the young lady’s virginity to the elders of the city in the gate.

16. The young lady’s father shall tell the elders, “I gave my daughter to this man as his wife, and he hates her.
