You may not observe your brother’s ox or his sheep lost and conceal yourself from them; you must surely return them to your brother.

Thou shalt not see thy brother’s ox or his sheep go astray, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt surely bring them back to thy brother.

You shall not see the ox of your brother or his lamb straying and ignore them; but you shall return them to your brother.

But if your brother is not near you or you do not know him, gather it into your house and let it stay with you until your brother seeks it, when you must return it to him.

And if thy brother be not near to thee, or if thou know him not, then thou shalt bring it to thy own house, and it shall be with thee until thy brother seek after it, and thou shalt restore it to him again.

And if your brother is not near to you, and you do not know him, then you shall gather it into the midst of your house, and it shall be with you until you make inquiry of your brother concerning it [when he comes to claim it, to ascertain that his claims are legitimate], and you shall return it to him [(It must constitute a "return"; do not feed it as much as it is worth and then claim that amount from the owner. But if its work can compensate for its food, then let it work; if not, sell it and give that money to the owner.)]

And so are you to do for his donkey, and so are you to do for his garment, and so are you to do for any lost object of your brother’s that is lost from him which you find. You may not conceal yourself.

In like manner shalt thou do with his ass; and so shalt thou do with his garment; and with every lost thing of thy brother’s, which he has lost, and thou hast found, shalt thou do likewise: thou mayst not hide thyself.

And so shall you do with his ass, and so shall you do with his garment, and so shall you do with every lost object of your brother which shall go lost from him and you find it; you shall not be able to ignore it.

Do not observe your brother’s donkey or his ox collapsing on the road and ignore them. You must surely lift it up with him.

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.

You shall not see the ass of your brother or his ox fallen on the way and ignore them; raise shall you raise [the animal's fallen load] with him [the owner. (If he himself does not care to do so, you are exempt.)]

A man’s attire may not be on a woman nor may a man wear a woman’s garment; for the abomination of Adonoy, your God, are all who do these [things].

A woman shall not wear that which pertains to a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment: for all that do so are abomination to the Lord thy God.

A man's garment shall not be upon a woman, [making her appear like a man, so that she can mix with them, this being a ploy for promiscuity], and a man shall not wear a woman's garment [in order to mix with them], for the abomination of the L-rd your G-d are all who do these [(The Torah forbade only a garment which leads to "abomination.")]

If you should chance upon a bird’s nest before you on the road in any tree, or on the ground, [with] fledglings or eggs, and the mother is sitting on the fledglings or on the eggs; do not take the mother with her offspring.

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 mother bird sitting upon the young, or upon the eggs, thou shalt not take the mother bird together with the young:

If there chance before you a bird's nest on the way [(This excludes what is already at hand (i.e., domesticated fowl)] on any tree or on the ground, fledglings or eggs, the mother bird lying upon the fledglings or upon the eggs — you shall not take the mother bird while she is yet on the young.

You must surely send away the mother and the offspring take for yourself, so that you will benefit and you will live long.

but thou shalt surely let the mother go, and take the young to thee; that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayst prolong thy days.

Send shall you send away the mother bird and the young shall you take for yourself, so that it shall be good for you and you prolong days [(a fortiori, the granting of reward for the observance of more onerous mitzvoth)].

When you build a new home, you are to make a fence for your roof; and do not place blood [liability] in your house, for someone who should fall may fall from it.

When thou buildest a new house, then thou shalt make a parapet for thy roof, that thou bring not blood upon thy house, if any man fall from it.

[The rationale of the juxtaposition of the verses that follow: If you fulfill the mitzvah of sending away the mother bird, in the end, you will build a new house and fulfill the mitzvah of making a railing, (for one mitzvah brings another in its train), and you will attain to a vineyard, and a field, and beautiful garments.] If you build a new house, you shall make a railing for your roof, and you shall not place blood in your house when the faller falls from it. [He deserves to fall (in terms of G-d's judgment) notwithstanding which, let his falling not be occasioned by you, (merit being occasioned by the meritorious one, and liability by him who is liable)].

Do not plant in your vineyard mixed species, lest the expansion become obnoxious—the seed that you plant—and the produce of the vineyard.

Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with divers seeds: lest the fruit of the seed which thou hast sown, and the fruit of the vineyard, be forfeited.

You shall not sow your vineyard with mixed seed [wheat, barley, and grain kernels with one hand-throw], lest there be rejected the fullness [i.e., the growth] of the seed which you shall sow and the produce of the vineyard.

You may not plow with an ox and with a donkey together.

Thou shalt not plough with an ox and an ass together.

You shall not plow [(The same applies to leading them tied together in the carrying of any load)] with an ox and an ass together [(The same applies to any two different kinds of animals)].

Do not don a mixture of threads, wool and flax together.

Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers kinds, of woollen and linen together.

You shall not wear sha'atnez [a mixture], wool and linen together.

Make yourself pendant threads upon four corners of your garment that you cover with.

Thou shalt make thee fringes upon the four corners of thy covering, with which thou coverest thyself.

Fringes shall you make for yourself [(even from sha'atnez — hence the juxtaposition)] on the four corners of your garment wherewith you cover yourself.

If a man marries a woman, and he has relations with her and hates her.

If any man take a wife, and go in to her, and hate her,

If a man take a wife, and he come upon her, and he hate her,

Then berates her with calumnies and alleges defamation about her, and he claims, ‘‘I married this woman and was intimate with her, and did not find signs of her virginity.’’

and lay accusing speeches against her, and bring out an evil name upon her, saying, I took this woman, and when I came to her, I found her not to be a virgin:

And he libel her and give out about her an evil name [(Transgression brings transgression in its wake — If he transgresses (Leviticus 19:17): "You shall not hate," in the end he comes to slander)], and he says: This woman [(whence it is derived that the charge must be made in the presence of the defendant)], I took, and I drew near to her, and I did not find in her, virginity,

The girl’s father and mother will take and will prove the girl’s virginity to the city judges in the court.

then shall the father of the girl, and her mother, take and bring forth the tokens of the girl’s virginity to the elders of the city in the gate:

Then the father of the maiden and her mother shall take [("Let the rearers of the evil sprout be shamed by it" (Had she been completely virtuous she would not have been suspected)], and they shall bring out the virgin signs of the maiden to the elders of the city to the gate.

The girl’s father should assert to the judges, ‘‘My daughter did I marry to this man as a wife and he hates her.

and the girl’s father shall say to the elders, I gave my daughter to this man to wife, and he hated her;

And the father of the maiden shall say to the elders [(whence it is seen that a woman is not permitted to speak up when her husband is present (to do so)]: My daughter did I give to this man as a wife, and he hated her.

Look! He has promulgated libelous words, claiming ‘I did not find signs of your daughter’s virginity.’ But this is [the proof of] my daughter’s virginity.’’ And let them spread the cloth before the city judges.

and, lo, he has laid accusing speeches against her, saying, I found not thy daughter a virgin; and yet these are the tokens of my daughter’s virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city.

And, behold, he has uttered a libel, saying: I did not find your daughter to be a virgin — and these are the virgin signs of my daughter. And they shall spread the garment before the elders of the city [i.e., They shall make her innocence of the accusation as manifest as a spread-out garment.]

The judges of that city will take the man and will chastise him.

And the elders of that city shall take that man and chastise him;

Then the elders of the city shall take the man and chastise him [with stripes].

And they will fine him one hundred silver [shekels] and give [them] to the girl’s father, because he defamed a virgin of Yisroel; and she shall remain his wife, he may not divorce her all his life.

and they shall fine him a hundred shekels of silver, and give them to the father of the girl, because he has brought out an evil name upon a virgin of Yisra᾽el: and she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days.

And they shall fine him a hundred (shekels of) silver, and they shall give it to the father of the maiden, for he has given out an evil name about a virgin of Israel; and to him shall she be as a wife. He shall not be able to send her away all of his days.

However, if the allegation is true; signs of the girl’s virginity were not found.

But if this thing be true, and tokens of virginity be not found for the girl:

And if the matter were true, [(witnesses and prior warning obtaining that she had been adulterous after betrothal)] — if virginity were not found in the maiden,

They are to take the girl out to the entrance of her father’s home and the people of her city will stone her with stones to death, because she committed a disgraceful act against Yisroel by behaving promiscuously [in] her father’s house; and you will eliminate the evil within you.

then they shall bring out the girl to the door of her father’s house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die: because she has perpetrated wantonness in Yisra᾽el, to play the harlot in her father’s house: so shalt thou put evil away from among you.

Then they shall take out the maiden to the door of her father's house [("See the sprout that you have reared!")], and the men of her city shall stone her with stones [i.e., she shall be stoned in the presence of all the men of the city], and she shall die, for she has done a vile thing in Israel, to harlotize [while in] her father's house; and you shall remove the evil from your midst.

If a man is found having intercourse with a woman who is the wife of a man, even both of them shall die—the man who had intercourse with the woman and the woman—and you will eliminate the evil from Yisroel.

If a man be found lying with a woman married to a 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 Yisra᾽el.

If there be found a man lying with a woman who had been cohabited with by a husband, then there shall be put to death, also both of them [("both of them") excluding an act of (self-) arousal (by the man), from which she derives no gratification, and ("also") including those who come (and cohabit with them) after they had been sentenced)], the man who lay with the woman, and the woman; and you shall remove the evil from Israel.

If there will be a virgin girl married to a man, and a man encounters her in the city and has intercourse with her,

If a girl that is a virgin be betrothed to a husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her;

If there be a maiden, a virgin, betrothed to a man, and a man find her in the city and lie with her [("The breach calls to the thief" — If she remained at home, this would not happen)] —

You are to take them both out to the court of that city and stone them with stones to death, the girl for the fact that she did not scream in the city and the man for the fact that he oppressed the wife of his peer; and you will eliminate the evil within you.

then you shall bring them both out to the gate of that city, and you shall stone them with stones that they die; the girl, because she cried not, being in the city; and the man, because he has humbled his neighbour’s wife: so thou shalt put away evil from among you.

Then you shall take out both of them to the gate of that city, and you shall stone them with stones, and they shall die — the maiden, because she did not cry out in the city, and the man, because he afflicted his neighbor's wife; and you shall remove the evil from your midst.

But if in the field the man encounters the married girl, and the man holds her and had intercourse with her; then he shall die—only the man who had intercourse with her.

But if a man find a betrothed girl in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her: then only the man that lay with her shall die:

And if in the field the man find the betrothed maiden, and the man seize her and lie with her, then the man who lay with her, alone, shall be put to death.

But to the girl you will not do a thing, the girl has no death liability; for, just as if a man rises up against his peer and murders him, so is this matter.

but to the girl thou shalt do nothing; there is in the girl no sin worthy of death: for as when a man rises against his neighbour, and slays him, even so is this matter:

But to the maiden shall you not do a thing; the maiden does not have a sin of death. For as a man would rise up against his neighbor and slay him, so is this thing [i.e., she was forced and is, therefore, guiltless].

For he encountered her in the field; the married girl screamed, but there was no one to rescue her.

for he found her in the field, and the betrothed maiden cried out, but there was none to save her.

For in the field did he find her. The betrothed maiden called out and no one could save her.

If a man encounters a virgin girl who was not married and grabs her and has intercourse with her; and they are discovered.

If a man find a girl that is a virgin, who is not betrothed, and lay hold of her, and lie with her, and they be found;

If a man find a maiden, a virgin, who was not betrothed, and he seize her and lie with her, and they are found,

The man who had intercourse with her must give to the girl’s father fifty silver [shekels]; and she shall be his wife, since he oppressed her; he may not divorce her all his life.

then the man that lay with her shall give to the girl’s father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he has humbled her, he may not put her away all his days.

Then the man who lies with her shall give to the father of the maiden fifty (shekels of) silver, and to him shall she be as a wife because he afflicted her; he shall not be able to send her away all of his days.
