delivered them into your hands, and you have taken them captive,
Deu 21:11 And see among the captives a beautiful woman, and have a desire unto her, that you
would have her to your wife;
Deu 21:12 Then you shall bring her home to your house; and she shall shave * her head, and
pare * her nails;
Deu 21:13 And she shall put * the raiment of her captivity from off her, and shall remain in your
house, and bewail * her father and her mother a full month: and after that you shall go in
unto her, and be her husband, and she shall be your wife.
Deu 21:14 And it shall be, if you have no delight in her, then you shall let her go where she will;
but you shall not sell her at all for money, you shall not make merchandise of her, because
you have humbled her.
(Sunday Morning Portion)
Deu 21:15 If a man have two wives, one beloved, and another hated, and they have bore him
children, both the beloved and the hated; and if the firstborn son be hers that was hated:
Deu 21:16 Then it shall be, when he makes his sons to inherit * that which he has, he may not
make * the son of the beloved firstborn before the son of the hated, which is indeed the
firstborn:
Deu 21:17 But he shall acknowledge the son of the hated * for the firstborn, by giving him a
double portion of all that he has: for he is the beginning of his strength; the right of the
firstborn is his.
Deu 21:18 If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his
father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken

elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place;
Deu 21:20 And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious,
he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard.
Deu 21:21 And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shall you put
evil away from among you; and all Yisra’el shall hear, and fear.

Deu 21:22 And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be to be put to death, and
you hang him on a tree:
Deu 21:23 His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but you shall in any wise bury him
that day; (for he that is hanged is accursed of Elohim;) that * your land be not defiled, which
YHWH your Elohim gives you for an inheritance.
Deu 22:1 You shall not see * your brother’s ox or * his sheep go astray, and hide yourself from
them: you shall in any case bring them again unto your brother.
Deu 22:2 And if your brother be not near unto you, or if you know him not, then you shall bring
it unto your own house, and it shall be with you until your brother seek after it, and you shall
restore it to him again.

yourself from them: you shall surely help him to lift them up again.

ones, or eggs, and the dam sitting upon the young, or upon the eggs, you shall not take the

well with you, and that you may prolong your days.

Deu 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:
Deu 22:16 And the damsel’s father shall say unto the elders, I gave * my daughter unto this man
to wife, and he hates her;
Deu 22:17 And, lo, he has given occasions of speech against her, saying, I found not your
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.
Deu 22:18 And the elders of that city shall take * that man and chastise him;
Deu 22:19 And they shall fine him in a hundred shekels of silver, and give them unto the father
of the damsel, because he has brought up an evil name upon a virgin of Yisra’el: and she
shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days.
Deu 22:20 But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel:
Deu 22:21 Then they shall bring out * the damsel to the door of her father’s house, and the men

them with stones that they die; * the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city; and the
man, because he has humbled * his neighbor’s wife: so you shall put away evil from among
you.

with her: then the man only that lay with her shall die:
Deu 22:26 But unto the damsel you shall do nothing; there is in the damsel no sin worthy of
death: for as when a man rises against his neighbor, and slays him, even so is this matter:

save her.

forth out of Mitzrayim; and because they hired against you Bilam the son of Be’or of Petor of
Mesopotamia, to curse you.
Deu 23:5 Nevertheless YHWH your Elohim would not hearken unto Bil’am; but YHWH your

is down, he shall come into the camp.

yourself abroad, you shall dig therewith, and shall turn back and cover * that which comes
from you:

upon usury: that YHWH your Elohim may bless you in all that you set your hand to in the
land where you go to possess it.
