son that is stubborn, and disobedient, that he will not hearken unto
the voice of his father and voice of his mother, and they have taught
him nurture, but he would not hearken unto them: Then let his father
and his mother take him and bring him out unto the elders of that city
and unto the gate of that same place, and say unto the elders of the
city. This our son is stubborn and disobedient and will not hearken
unto our voice, he is a rioter and a drunkard. Then let all the men of
that city stone him with stones unto death. And so thou shalt put evil
away from thee, and all Israel shall hear and fear. If a man have
committed a trespass worthy of death and is put to death for it and
hanged on tree: let not his body remain all night upon the tree, but
bury him the same day. For the curse of God is on him that is hanged.
Defile not thy land therefore, which the LORD thy God giveth thee to
inherit.
Chapter .xxij.
If thou see thy brother's ox or sheep go astray, thou shalt not
withdraw thyself from them: But shalt bring them home again unto thy
brother. If thy brother be not nye unto thee or if thou know him not,
then bring them unto thine own house and let them be with thee, until
thy brother ask after them, and then deliver him them again. In like

thou chance upon a bird's nest by the way, in whatsoever tree it be or
on the ground, whether they be young or eggs, and the dam sitting upon
the young or upon the eggs: thou shalt not take the mother with the
young. But shalt in any wise let the dam go and take the young, that
thou mayst prosper and prolong thy days. When thou buildest a new
house, thou shalt make a battlement unto the roof, that thou lade not
blood upon thine house, if any man fall thereof. Thou shalt not sow thy
vineyard with divers seed: lest thou hallow the seed which thou hast
sown with the fruit of thy vineyard. Thou shalt not plough with an ox
and an ass together. Thou shalt not wear a garment made of wool and
flax together. Thou shalt put ribbons upon the four quarters of thy
vesture wherewith thou coverest thyself. If a man take a wife and when
he hath lien with her hate her and lay shameful things unto her charge
and bring up an evil name upon her and say: I took this wife, and when
I came to her, I found her not a maid: Then let the father of the
