| Deuteronomy 22
|
(22:1-4) Look out for your neighbor's animals and protect them from harm.
(22:1) "Thou shalt not see thy brother's ox or his sheep go astray, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt in any case bring them again unto thy brother."
(22:3) "In like manner shalt thou do with his ass; and so shalt thou do with his raiment; and with all lost thing of thy brother's, which he hath lost, and thou hast found."
(22:4) "Thou shalt surely help."
(22:5)
"The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment:
for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD."
Women cannot wear men's clothing and vice versa -- it's
an "abomination unto the Lord."
What the Bible says about clothing and fashion
(22:8) "When thou buildest a new house ... make a battlement for thy roof, that thou bring not blood upon thine house, if any man fall from thence."
When building a roof, make sure it is safe.
(22:10-12) Don't plow with an ox and an ass together, wear clothes made from blended fabrics or that lack fringes.
(22:10) "Thou shalt not plow with an ox and an ass together."
(22:11) "Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts, as of woollen and linen together."
What the Bible says about clothing and fashion
(22:12) "Thou shalt make fringes on your garments."
(22:13-21) If a man marries and then decides that he
hates his wife, he can claim she wasn't a virgin when they were married. If her
father can't produce the "tokens of her virginity" (bloody sheets),
then the woman is to be stoned to death at her father's doorstep.
Does God approve of capital punishment?
To kill or not to kill
What the Bible says about stoning, capital punishment,
marriage, and divorce
(22:13) "If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate her."
(22:14) "And say, I took this woman, and when I came to her, I found her not a maid:"
(22:15) "Then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth the tokens of the damsel's
virginity unto the elders of the city in the gate:"
(22:16-17) "And ... say ... these are the tokens of my daughter's virginity."
(22:20) "But if ... the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel,"
(22:21) "Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall
stone her with stones that she die."
(22:22)
"If a man be found lying with a woman married to an husband,
then they shall both of them die."
(22:23-24) City Rape
If a woman is raped in the city and doesn't cry out loud enough,
the men of the city must stone her to death.
Does God approve of capital punishment?
What the Bible says about rape,
stoning, and
capital punishment
(22:23) "If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto an husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her;"
(22:24) "Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel,
because she cried not, being in the city; and the man because he hath humbled his neighbour's wife."
(The man is killed because of the harm he did to the woman's husband.)
(22:25-27) Country Rape
If a woman is raped in the country, then only the man shall die (since there was no one to hear her if she
cried out.)
(22:25) "If a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her:
then the man only that lay with her shall die."
(22:27) "For he found her in the field, and the betrothed damsel cried, and there was none to save her."
(22:28-29)
If a man rapes an unbetrothed virgin, he must pay her father 50 shekels of silver
and then marry her.
(22:28) "If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;"
(22:29) "Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife."
(22:30)
"A man shall not take his father's wife, nor discover his father's skirt."
| | 22:1
Thou shalt not see thy brother's ox or his sheep go astray, and hide
thyself from them: thou shalt in any case bring them again unto thy brother.
| | 22:2
And if thy brother be not nigh unto thee, or if thou know him not, then
thou shalt bring it unto thine own house, and it shall be with thee until
thy brother seek after it, and thou shalt restore it to him again.
| | 22:3
In like manner shalt thou do with his ass; and so shalt thou do with his
raiment; and with all lost thing of thy brother's, which he hath lost, and
thou hast found, shalt thou do likewise: thou mayest not hide thyself.
| | 22:4
Thou shalt not see thy brother's ass or his ox fall down by the way, and
hide thyself from them: thou shalt surely help him to lift them up again.
| | 22:5
The woman shall not
wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's
garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.
| | 22:6
If a bird's nest chance to be before thee in the way in any tree, or on
the ground, whether they be young ones, or eggs, and the dam sitting upon
the young, or upon the eggs, thou shalt not take the dam with the young:
| | 22:7
But thou shalt in any wise let the dam go, and take the young to thee;
that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days.
| | 22:8
When thou buildest a new house, then thou shalt make a
battlement for thy roof, that thou bring not blood upon thine house, if any man fall from
thence.
| | 22:9
Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with divers seeds: lest the fruit of thy
seed which thou hast sown, and the fruit of thy vineyard, be defiled.
| | 22:10
Thou shalt not plow with an ox and an ass together.
| | 22:11
Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts, as of woollen and linen together.
| | 22:12
Thou shalt make thee
fringes upon the four quarters of thy vesture, wherewith thou coverest
thyself.
| | 22:13
If any man take a wife, and go in
unto her, and hate her,
| | 22:14
And give occasions of
speech against her, and bring up an evil name upon her, and say, I took this
woman, and when I came to her, I found
her not a maid:
| | 22:15
Then shall the father
of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth the tokens of the
damsel's virginity unto the
elders of the city in the gate:
| | 22:16
And the damsel's
father shall say unto the elders, I gave my daughter unto this man to wife,
and he hateth her;
| | 22:17
And, lo, he hath given occasions of speech against her, saying, I found not thy
daughter a maid; and yet these are the tokens of my daughter's
virginity. And they shall spread the
cloth before the elders of the city.
| | 22:18
And the elders of that city shall take that man and chastise him;
| | 22:19
And they shall amerce him in an hundred shekels of silver, and give them
unto the father of the damsel, because he hath brought up an evil name upon
a virgin of Israel: and she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all
his days.
| | 22:20
But if this thing be true, and the tokens
of virginity be not found for the damsel:
| | 22:21 Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father's house,
and the men of her city shall stone her with
stones that she die: because she hath
wrought folly in Israel, to play the whore in her father's house: so shalt thou put
evil away from among you.
| | 22:22
If a man be found lying with a woman
married to an husband,
then they shall both of them die, both the man that lay with the
woman, and the woman: so shalt thou put away evil from Israel.
| | 22:23
If a damsel that is
a virgin be betrothed unto an husband, and a man find her in the city,
and lie with her;
| | 22:24
Then ye shall bring
them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with
stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, being
in the city;
and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbour's wife: so thou shalt put
away evil from among you.
| | 22:25
But if a man find a betrothed
damsel in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her: then the
man only that lay with her shall die.
| | 22:26
But unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing; there is in the damsel no sin
worthy of death: for as when a man riseth against his neighbour, and slayeth
him, even so is this matter:
| | 22:27
For he found her in the field, and the betrothed damsel cried, and there
was none to save her.
| | 22:28
If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her,
and lie with her,
and they be found;
| | 22:29
Then the man that lay
with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, and
she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her
away all his days.
| | 22:30
A man shall not take
his father's wife, nor discover his father's skirt.
