Deuteronomy 22 (ERVEN) Easy to Read - English

1 "If you see that your neighbor's ox or sheep is loose, you must not ignore it. Be sure to take it back to its owner.
2 If the owner does not live near you or if you don't know who it belongs to, take the ox or sheep to your house. Keep it there until the owner comes looking for it; then give it back.
3 You must do the same thing when you find anything that your neighbor might have lost. Don't try selling it to your neighbor—you must give it back.
4 "If your neighbor's donkey or ox has fallen down on the road, you must not ignore it. You must help your neighbor lift it up again.
5 "A woman must not wear men's clothes, and a man must not wear women's clothes. That is very disgusting to the Lord your God.
6 "You might be walking along a path and find a bird's nest in a tree or on the ground. If the mother bird is sitting with her baby birds or on the eggs, you must not take the mother bird with the babies.
7 You may take the babies for yourself, but you must let the mother go. If you obey these laws, things will go well for you, and you will live a long time.
8 "When you build a new house, you must build a wall around your roof. Then you will not be guilty for the death of a person who falls from the house.
9 "You must not plant seeds of grain in the same fields as your grapevines. Why? Because then they become useless —both the grapes and the grain produced by the seeds you planted.
10 "You must not plow with a ox and a donkey together.
11 "You must not wear cloth made by weaving together wool and linen.
12 "Tie several pieces of thread together. Then put these tassels on the four corners of the robes you wear.
13 "A man might marry a woman and have sexual relations with her. Then he might decide that he does not like her.
14 He might accuse her of doing wrong and say, 'I married this woman, but when we had sexual relations, I found she was not a virgin. ' By saying this against her, people might think bad things about her.
15 If this happens, the girl's father and mother must bring the proof that the girl was a virgin to the town elders at the meeting place of the town.
16 The girl's father must say to the leaders, 'I gave my daughter to this man to be his wife, but now he does not want her.
17 This man accused my daughter of doing wrong and said, "I did not find the proof that your daughter is a virgin." But here is the proof that my daughter was a virgin.' Then they should show the cloth to the town leaders.
18 Then the leaders of that town must take that man and punish him.
19 They must fine him 40 ounces of silver. They will give the money to the girl's father because her husband brought shame to an Israelite girl. And the girl will continue to be the man's wife. He cannot divorce her for the rest of his life.
20 "But what the husband said about his wife might be true. The wife's parents might not have the proof that she was a virgin. If this happens,
21 then the town leaders must bring the girl to the door of her father's house. Then the men of the town must kill her with stones, because she has done a shameful thing in Israel. She has acted like a prostitute in her father's house. You must remove this evil from your group.
22 "If a man is found having sexual relations with another man's wife, both of them must die—the woman and the man who had sexual relations with her. You must remove this evil from Israel.
23 "A man might meet a virgin girl engaged to another man. He might have sexual relations with her. If this happens in the city,
24 you must bring them both out to the public place near the gate of that city, and you must kill them with stones. You must kill the man, because he used another man's wife for sexual sin. And you must kill the girl, because she was in the city but did not call for help. You must remove this evil from your people.
25 "But if a man finds an engaged girl out in the field and forces her to have sexual relations with him, only the man must die.
26 You must do nothing to the girl. She did nothing that deserves the punishment of death. This is like someone attacking their neighbor and killing them.
27 The man found the engaged girl out in the field and attacked her. Maybe she called for help, but there was no one to help her.
28 "A man might find a virgin girl who is not engaged and force her to have sexual relations with him. If other people see this happen,
29 he must pay the girl's father 20 ounces of silver. And the girl will become the man's wife, because he used her for sexual sin. He cannot divorce her all his life.
30 "A man must not bring shame to his father by marrying his father's wife.

8 When H3588 CONJ thou buildest H1129 a new H2319 house H1004 NMS , then thou shalt make H6213 a battlement H4624 for thy roof H1406 , that thou bring H7760 VQY2MS not H3808 W-NPAR blood H1818 upon thine house H1004 , if H3588 CONJ any man H5307 VQY3MS fall H5307 from H4480 M-PREP-3MS thence .
9 Thou shalt not H3808 NADV sow H2232 thy vineyard H3754 with divers seeds H3610 : lest H6435 CONJ the fruit H4395 of thy seed H2233 which H834 RPRO thou hast sown H2232 , and the fruit H8393 of thy vineyard H3754 , be defiled H6942 .

15 Then shall the father H1 CMS-1MS of the damsel H5291 , and her mother H517 , take H3947 W-VQQ3MS and bring forth the tokens of the damsel H5291 \'s virginity H1331 unto H413 PREP the elders H2205 of the city H5892 D-GFS in the gate H8179 :

22 If H3588 CONJ a man H376 NMS be found H4672 lying H7901 with H5973 PREP a woman H802 NFS married H1166 to a husband H1167 CMS , then they shall both H1571 CONJ of them die H4191 , both the man H376 D-NMS that lay H7901 with H5973 PREP the woman H802 D-NFS , and the woman H802 : so shalt thou put away H1197 evil H7451 D-AMS from Israel H3478 .
