Deuteronomy 21-23
The Message
21If a dead body is found on the ground, this ground that GOD, your God, has given you, lying out in the open, and no one knows who killed him,
2your leaders and judges are to go out and measure the distance from the body to the nearest cities.
3The leaders and judges of the city that is nearest the corpse will then take a heifer that has never been used for work, never had a yoke on it.
4The leaders will take the heifer to a valley with a stream, a valley that has never been plowed or planted, and there break the neck of the heifer.
5The Levitical priests will then step up. GOD has chosen them to serve him in these matters by settling legal disputes and violent crimes and by pronouncing blessings in GOD's name.
6Finally, all the leaders of that town that is nearest the body will wash their hands over the heifer that had its neck broken at the stream
8Purify your people Israel whom you redeemed, O GOD. Clear your people Israel from any guilt in this murder." That will clear them from any responsibility in the murder.
9By following these procedures you will have absolved yourselves of any part in the murder because you will have done what is right in GOD's sight.
10When you go to war against your enemies and GOD, your God, gives you victory and you take prisoners,
11and then you notice among the prisoners of war a good-looking woman whom you find attractive and would like to marry,
13and discard the clothes she was wearing when captured. She is then to stay in your home for a full month, mourning her father and mother. Then you may go to bed with her as husband and wife.
14If it turns out you don't like her, you must let her go and live wherever she wishes. But you can't sell her or use her as a slave since you've humiliated her.
15When a man has two wives, one loved and the other hated, and they both give him sons, but the firstborn is from the hated wife,
16at the time he divides the inheritance with his sons he must not treat the son of the loved wife as the firstborn, cutting out the son of the hated wife, who is the actual firstborn.
17No, he must acknowledge the inheritance rights of the real firstborn, the son of the hated wife, by giving him a double share of the inheritance： that son is the first proof of his virility; the rights of the firstborn belong to him.
18When a man has a stubborn son, a real rebel who won't do a thing his mother and father tell him, and even though they discipline him he still won't obey,
20and say to the city fathers, "This son of ours is a stubborn rebel; he won't listen to a thing we say. He's a glutton and a drunk."
21Then all the men of the town are to throw rocks at him until he's dead. You will have purged the evil pollution from among you. All Israel will hear what's happened and be in awe.
22When a man has committed a capital crime, been given the death sentence, executed and hung from a tree,
23don't leave his dead body hanging overnight from the tree. Give him a decent burial that same day so that you don't desecrate your GOD-given land—a hanged man is an insult to God.
22If you see your kinsman's ox or sheep wandering off loose, don't look the other way as if you didn't see it. Return it promptly.
2If your fellow Israelite is not close by or you don't know whose it is, take the animal home with you and take care of it until your fellow asks about it. Then return it to him.
3Do the same if it's his donkey or a piece of clothing or anything else your fellow Israelite loses. Don't look the other way as if you didn't see it.
4If you see your fellow's donkey or ox injured along the road, don't look the other way. Help him get it up and on its way.
5A woman must not wear a man's clothing, nor a man wear women's clothing. This kind of thing is an abomination to GOD, your God.
6When you come across a bird's nest alongside the road, whether in a tree or on the ground, and the mother is sitting on the young or on the eggs, don't take the mother with the young.
8When you build a new house, make a parapet around your roof to make it safe so that someone doesn't fall off and die and your family become responsible for the death.
9Don't plant two kinds of seed in your vineyard. If you do, you will forfeit what you've sown, the total production of the vineyard.
14calling her a slut, giving her a bad name, saying, "I married this woman, but when I slept with her I discovered she wasn't a virgin,"
15then the father and mother of the girl are to take her with the proof of her virginity to the town leaders at the gate.
16The father is to tell the leaders, "I gave my daughter to this man as wife and he turned on her, rejecting her.
17And now he has slanderously accused her, claiming that she wasn't a virgin. But look at this, here is the proof of my daughter's virginity." And then he is to spread out her blood-stained wedding garment before the leaders for their examination.
19fine him a hundred pieces of silver, and give it to the father of the girl. The man gave a virgin girl of Israel a bad name. He has to keep her as his wife and can never divorce her.
21the men of the town are to take her to the door of her father's house and stone her to death. She acted disgracefully in Israel. She lived like a whore while still in her parents' home. Purge the evil from among you.
24take both of them to the town gate and stone them until they die—the girl because she didn't yell out for help in the town and the man because he raped her, violating the fianc? of his neighbor. You must purge the evil from among you.
25But if it was out in the country that the man found the engaged girl and grabbed and raped her, only the man is to die, the man who raped her.
26Don't do anything to the girl; she did nothing wrong. This is similar to the case of a man who comes across his neighbor out in the country and murders him;
28When a man comes upon a virgin who has never been engaged and grabs and rapes her and they are found out,
29the man who raped her has to give her father fifty pieces of silver. He has to marry her because he took advantage of her. And he can never divorce her.
2No bastard is to enter the congregation of GOD, even to the tenth generation, nor any of his children.
3No Ammonite or Moabite is to enter the congregation of GOD, even to the tenth generation, nor any of his children, ever.
4Those nations didn't treat you with hospitality on your travels out of Egypt, and on top of that they also hired Balaam son of Beor from Pethor in Mesopotamia to curse you.
5GOD, your God, refused to listen to Balaam but turned the curse into a blessing—how GOD, your God, loves you!
7But don't spurn an Edomite; he's your kin. And don't spurn an Egyptian; you were a foreigner in his land.
9When you are camped out, at war with your enemies, be careful to keep yourself from anything ritually defiling.
10If one of your men has become ritually unclean because of a nocturnal emission, he must go outside the camp and stay there
13Along with your weapons have a stick with you. After you relieve yourself, dig a hole with the stick and cover your excrement.
14GOD, your God, strolls through your camp; he's present to deliver you and give you victory over your enemies. Keep your camp holy; don't permit anything indecent or offensive in GOD's eyes.
16Let him live wherever he wishes within the protective gates of your city. Don't take advantage of him.
17No daughter of Israel is to become a sacred prostitute; and no son of Israel is to become a sacred prostitute.
18And don't bring the fee of a sacred whore or the earnings of a priest-pimp to the house of GOD, your God, to pay for any vow—they are both an abomination to GOD, your God.
19Don't charge interest to your kinsmen on any loan： not for money or food or clothing or anything else that could earn interest.
20You may charge foreigners interest, but you may not charge your brothers interest; that way GOD, your God, will bless all the work that you take up and the land that you are entering to possess.
21When you make a vow to GOD, your God, don't put off keeping it; GOD, your God, expects you to keep it and if you don't you're guilty.
23If you say you're going to do something, do it. Keep the vow you willingly vowed to GOD, your God. You promised it, so do it.
24When you enter your neighbor's vineyard, you may eat all the grapes you want until you're full, but you may not put any in your bucket or bag.
25And when you walk through the ripe grain of your neighbor, you may pick the heads of grain, but you may not swing your sickle there.
