When you see your brother's donkey or his ox fall on the way, do not leave them, but pick them up with him. Deut.22:5. A woman should not wear men's clothing, and a man should not dress in women's clothing, for anyone who does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God. Wed. Deut.22:9–11. The goal of the legislator is to protect the people from all kinds of harmful unnatural mixtures (cf. Lev. 18.22–24). The custom of cross-dressing in order to enjoy unnatural forms of debauchery was practiced by many pagan peoples of the ancient world. Deut.22:6. If you come across a bird's nest on the road on any tree or on the ground, with chicks or eggs, and the mother is sitting on the chicks or on the eggs, then do not take the mother with her children: Deut.22:7. Let the mother go, and take the children for yourself, so that you may feel good and your days will be lengthened. Wed. Ref. 23:19 ; Lev.22:28; Deuteronomy 14:21, 22:10: instructions for humane treatment of animals that serve for the benefit of man. “Mother, left alive,” notes St. about the commented passage.

Do not plow the ox and the donkey together. Deut.22:11. Do not wear clothes made from different substances, wool and linen together. See example to Deut.22:5. Explaining the meaning of verse 11, St. Ephraim the Syrian notes: “The legislator wanted the people in their very clothes (cf. next, art. 12) to be far from the pagan peoples” (Interpretation of the book Deut., Chapter XXII). Deut.22:12. Make for yourself tassels on the four corners of your veil with which you cover yourself. Deut.22:13. If anyone takes a wife and goes in to her and hates her, Deut.22:14. and he will bring wicked deeds against her, and will spread evil rumors about her, and will say: “I took this wife and went in to her, and did not find her virginity.” Deut.22:15. then let the father of the girl and her mother take and bring the signs of the virginity of the girl to the elders of the city, to the gate; Deut.22:16. and the father of the maiden will say to the elders: I gave my daughter as a wife to this man, and [now] he hated her, Deut.22:17. and so, he brings vicious deeds against [her], saying: “I did not find virginity in your daughter”; but here are the signs of my daughter’s virginity. And they will spread out the clothes before the elders of the city. Deut.22:18. Then let the elders of that city take the man and punish him, Deut.22:19. and they will impose a hundred shekels of silver as a penalty on him and give him to the father of the damsel, because he spread a bad rumor about the maiden of Israel; Let her remain his wife, and he cannot divorce her for the rest of his life. One of the customs of antiquity is probably being legitimized. Deut.22:20. If what has been said is true, and the virginity of the girl is not found, Deut.22:21. then let the damsel be brought to the door of her father's house, and the inhabitants of her city shall stone her to death, for she has committed a shameful act among Israel by committing fornication in her father's house; and so destroy evil from among you.

If a young girl is betrothed to her husband, and someone meets her in the city and lies with her, Deut.22:24. then bring them both to the gates of that city, and stone them to death: the girl because she did not cry out in the city, and the man because he defamed his neighbor’s wife; and so destroy evil from among you. Deut.22:25. If someone in the field meets a betrothed girl and, seizing her, lies with her, then only the man who lay with her should be put to death, Deut.22:26. but do nothing to the maiden; There is no mortal crime on the damsel: for this is the same as if someone rebelled against his neighbor and killed him; Deut.22:27. for he met her in the field, and although the betrothed girl screamed, there was no one to save her. Deut.22:28. If someone meets an unengaged maiden, and seizes her and lies with her, and they are caught, Deut.22:29. then the one who lay with her must give the father of the girl fifty [shekels] of silver, and let her be his wife, because he has defamed her; for the rest of his life he cannot divorce her.
