Sam Stinson, Chapter twenty two. Thou shalt not see thy
brother's ox or his sheep go astray, and hide thyself
(00:23):
from them. Thou shalt surely bring them again unto thy brother.
And if thy brother be not nigh unto thee, or
if thou know him not, then thou shalt bring it
home to thy house, and it shall be with thee
until thy brother seek after it, and thou shalt restore
it to him. And so shalt thou do with his ass,
And so shalt thou do with his garment, And so
(00:44):
shalt thou do with every lost thing of thy brothers,
which he hath lost and thou hast found. Thou mayest
not hide thyself. Thou shalt not see thy brother's ass
or his ox fallen down by the way, and hide
thyself from them. Thou shalt surely help him to lift
them up again. A woman shall not wear that which
(01:05):
pertaineth unto a man. Neither shall a man put on
a woman's garment. For whosoever doeth these things is an
abomination unto Jehovah, thy God. If a bird's nest chance
to be before thee in the way, in any tree,
or on the ground, with young ones or eggs, and
the dam sitting upon the young or upon the eggs,
(01:25):
thou shalt not take the dam with the young. Thou
shalt surely let the dam go, but the young Thou
mayst take unto thyself, that it may be well with thee,
and that thou mayst prolong thy days. When thou buildest
a new house, then thou shalt make a battlement for
thy roof that thou bring not blood upon thy house
if any man fall from thence, thou shalt not sow
(01:48):
thy vineyard with two kinds of seed, lest the whole
fruit be forfeited, the seed which thou hast sown, and
the increase of the vineyard. Thou shalt not plow with
an ox and an ass together. Thou shalt not wear
a mingled stuff wool and linen together. Thou shalt make
the fringes upon the four borders of thy vesture, wherewith
(02:10):
thou coverest thyself. If any man take a wife and
go in unto her and hate her, and lay shameful
things to her charge, and bring up an evil name
upon her, and say, I took this woman, and when
I came nigh to her, I found not in her
the tokens of virginity. Then shall the father of the
damsel and her mother take and bring forth the tokens
(02:32):
of the damsel's virginity unto the elders of the city
and the gate, And the damsel's father shall say, unto
the elders, I gave my daughter unto this man to wife,
and he hateth her, And lo he hath laid shameful
things to her charge, saying I found not in thy
daughter the tokens of virginity. And yet these are the
tokens of my daughter's virginity. And they shall spread the
(02:54):
garment before the elders of the city, And the elders
of that city shall take the man in chaste him,
and they shall find him a hundred shekels of silver,
and give them unto the father of the damsel, because
he hath brought up an evil name upon a virgin
of Israel, and she shall be his wife, and he
may not put her away all his days. But if
(03:15):
this thing be true, that the tokens of virginity were
not found in the damsel, then they shall bring out
the damsel to the door of her father's house, and
the men of her city shall stone her to death
with stones. Because she hath wrought folly in Israel to
play the harlot in her father's house. So shalt thou
put away the evil from the midst of thee. If
(03:37):
a man be found lying with a woman married to
a husband, then they shall both of them die, the
man that lay with the woman and the woman. So
shalt thou put away the evil from Israel. If there
be a damsel, that is a virgin betrothed unto a husband,
and a man find her in the city and lie
with her, then ye shall bring them both out unto
(03:59):
the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them
to death with stones, the damsel because she cried not
being in the city, and the man because he hath
humbled his neighbour's wife. So thou shalt put away the
evil from the midst of thee. But if the man
find the damsel that is betrothed in the field, and
the man force her and lie with her, then the
(04:21):
man only that lay with her shall die. But unto
the damsel, thou shalt do nothing. There is in the
damsel no sin worthy of death. For as when a
man riseth against his neighbor and slayeth him, even so
is this matter. For he found her in the field,
the betrothed damsel cried, and there was none to save her.
If a man find a damsel that is a virgin,
(04:43):
that is not betrothed, and lay hold on her and
lie with her, and they be found, then the man
that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father
fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife.
Because he hath humbled her, he may not put her
away all his days a man and shall not take
his father's wife, and shall not uncover his father's skirt.
(05:05):
End of Chapter twenty two, Chapter twenty three. He that
is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member
cut off, shall not enter into the assembly of Jehovah.
A bastard shall not enter into the assembly of Jehovah.
Even to the tenth generation. Shall none of his enter
(05:26):
into the Assembly of Jehovah. An Ammonite or a Moabite
shall not enter into the Assembly of Jehovah. Even to
the tenth generation, shall none belonging to them enter into
the Assembly of Jehovah forever. Because they met you not
with bread and with water in the way when ye
came forth out of Egypt, and because they hired against
(05:47):
Thee Balem, the son of Beeor, from Pethor of Mesopotamia,
to curse thee. Nevertheless, Jehovah thy God would not hearken
unto Balem. But Jehovah thy God turned the curse into
a blessing unto Thee. Because Jehovah thy God loved thee.
Thou shalt not seek their peace nor their prosperity all
(06:07):
thy days forever. Thou shalt not abhor and Edomite, for
he is thy brother. Thou shalt not abhoor an Egyptian,
because thou wast a sojourner in his land. The children
of the third generation that are born unto them shall
enter into the Assembly of Jehovah. When thou goest forth
in camp against thine enemies, then thou shalt keep THEE
(06:30):
from every evil thing. If there be among you any
man that is not clean by reason of that which
chanceth him by night, then shall he go abroad out
of the camp. He shall not come within the camp.
But it shall be when evening cometh he shall bathe
himself in water, and when the sun is down he
shall come within the camp. Thou shalt have a place
(06:52):
also without the camp, whither thou shalt go forth abroad,
and thou shalt have a paddle among thy weapons. And
it shall be when thou sittest down abroad, thou shalt
dig therewith, and shalt turn back and cover that which
cometh from THEE. For Jehovah, thy God, walketh in the
midst of thy camp to deliver THEE and to give
(07:13):
up thine enemies before THEE. Therefore shall thy camp be holy,
that he may not see an unclean thing in THEE
and turn away from THEE. Thou shalt not deliver unto
his master, a servant that is escaped from his master
unto THEE. He shall dwell with THEE in the midst
of THEE, in the place which he shall choose, within
one of thy gates, where it pleaseth him best, thou
(07:35):
shalt not oppress him. There shall be no prostitute of
the daughters of Israel, neither shall there be a sodomite
of the sons of Israel. Thou shalt not bring the
hire of a harlot or the wages of a dog
into the house of Jehovah thy God for any thou,
For even both these are an abomination. Unto Jehovah thy God,
(07:58):
Thou shalt not lend upon interest to thy brother, interest
of money, interest of victuals, interest of anything that is
lent upon interest. Unto a foreigner, thou mayst lend upon interest,
but unto thy brother, thou shalt not lend upon interest.
That Jehovah thy God may bless Thee and all that
thou puttest thy hand unto, and the land whither thou
(08:20):
goest in to possess it. When thou shalt thou a
thou unto Jehovah thy God, thou shalt not be slack
to pay it. For Jehovah thy God will surely require
it of thee, and it would be a sin in THEE.
But if thou shalt forbear to vow it shall be
no sin in thee that which is gone out of
(08:40):
thy lips. Thou shalt observe and do according as thou
hast vowed unto Jehovah, thy God, a free will offering,
which thou hast promised with thy mouth. When thou comest
into thy neighbour's vineyard, then thou mayst eat of grapes
thy fill at thine own pleasure, but thou shalt not
put any in thy vessel. When thou comest into thy
(09:02):
neighbors standing grain, then thou mayst pluck thee ears with
thy hand, but thou shalt not move a sickle unto
thy neighbors standing grain. End of Chapter twenty three, Chapter
twenty four. When a man taketh a wife and marrieth her,
then it shall be if she find no favor in
(09:23):
his eyes, because he hath found some unseemly thing in her,
that he shall right her a bill of divorcement and
give it in her hand, and send her out of
his house. And when she is departed out of his
how she may go and be another man's wife. And
if the latter husband hate her, and write her a
bill of divorcement and give it in her hand and
send her out of his house. Or if the latter
(09:45):
husband die who took her to be his wife, her
former husband who sent her away, may not take her
again to be his wife. After that she is defiled,
for that is abomination before Jehovah. And thou shalt not
cause the land to sin, which Jehovah, thy God, giveth
thee for an inheritance. When a man taketh a new wife,
(10:05):
he shall not go out in the host, neither shall
he be charged with any business. He shall be free
at home one year, and shall cheer his wife whom
he hath taken. No man shall take the mill or
the upper millstone to pledge, for he taketh a man's
life to pledge. If a man be found stealing any
(10:25):
of his brethren of the children of Israel, and he
deal with him as a slave or sell him, then
that thief shall die. So shalt thou put away the
evil from the midst of thee. Take heed in the
plague of leprosy that thou observed diligently, And do according
to all that the priests the levines shall teach you,
as I commanded them. So ye shall observe to do.
(10:48):
Remember what Jehovah thy God did unto Miriam, by the
way as ye came forth out of Egypt. When thou
dost lend thy neighbor any manner of lone, thou shalt
not go into his house to fetch his pledge. Thou
shalt stand without, and the man to whom thou dost
lend shall bring forth the pledge without unto thee. And
(11:10):
if he be a poor man, thou shalt not sleep
with his pledge, Thou shalt surely restore to him the
pledge when the son goeth down, that he may sleep
in his garment and bless thee. And it shall be
righteousness unto THEE. Before Jehovah thy God, Thou shalt not
oppress a hired servant that is poor and needy, whether
he be of thy brethren or of thy sojourners that
(11:32):
are in thy land within thy gates in his day,
Thou shalt give him his hire. Neither shall the son
go down upon it, for he is poor, and setteth
his heart upon it, lest he cry against Thee unto Jehovah,
and it be sin unto THEE. The fathers shall not
be put to death for the children. Neither shall the
(11:53):
children be put to death for the fathers. Every man
shall be put to death for his own sin. Thou
shalt not ren the justice do to the sojourner or
to the fatherless, nor take the widow's raiment to pledge.
But thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt,
and Jehovah thy God redeemed THEE. Thence therefore I command
THEE to do this thing. When thou reapest thy harvest
(12:16):
in thy field, and hast forgot a sheaf in the field,
thou shalt not go again to fetch it. It shall
be for the sojourner, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
That Jehovah thy God may bless THEE and all the
work of thy hands. When thou baddest thine olive tree,
thou shalt not go over the bows again. It shall
be for the sojourner, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
(12:38):
When thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt
not glean it after thee. It shall be for the sojourner,
for the fatherless, and for the widow, and thou shalt
remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt.
Therefore I command thee to do this thing. And of
Chapter twenty four Chapter twenty five. If there be a
(12:59):
controvery between men, and they come unto judgment, and the
judges judge them, then they shall justify the righteous and
condemn the wicked. And it shall be, if the wicked
man be worthy to be beaten, that the judge shall
cause him to lie down and to be beaten before
his face according to his wickedness, by number forty stripes
(13:19):
he may give him. He shall not exceed, lest if
he should exceed and beat him above these with many stripes,
then thy brother should seem vile unto thee Thou shalt
not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out the grain.
If brethren dwell together, and one of them die and
have no son, the wife of the dead shall not
(13:42):
be married without unto a stranger. Her husband's brother shall
go in unto her and take her to him to wife,
and perform the duty of a husband's brother unto her.
And it shall be that the first born that she
beareth shall succeed in the name of his brother that
is dead, that his name be not blotted out of Israel.
(14:04):
And if the man like not to take his brother's wife,
then his brother's wife shall go up to the gate
unto the elders and say, my husband's brother refuseth to
raise up unto his brother a name in Israel. He
will not perform the duty of a husband's brother unto me.
Then the elders of his city shall call him and
speak unto him. And if he stand and say, I
(14:25):
like not to take her, then shall his brother's wife
come unto him in the presence of the elders, and
loose his shoe from off his foot and spit in
his face. And she shall answer and say, so shall
it be done unto the man that doth not build
up his brother's house, and his name shall be called
in Israel the house of him that hath his shoe loosed.
(14:48):
When men strive together one with another, and the wife
of the one draweth near to deliver her husband out
of the hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth
forth her hand and taketh him by the secrets, then
thou shalt cut off her hand. Thine eye shall have
no pity, Thou shalt not have in thy bag diverse weights,
(15:11):
a great and a small. Thou shalt not have in
thy house diverse measures, a great and a small, a
perfect and just weight. Shalt thou have a perfect and
just measure. Shalt thou have that thy days may be
long in the land which Jehovah thy God giveth THEE.
For all that do such things, even all that do unrighteously,
(15:34):
are an abomination unto Jehovah thy God. Remember what Amelik
did unto THEE by the way, as Ye came forth
out of Egypt. How he met THEE by the way
and smote the hindmost of thee, all that were feeble
behind THEE, when Thou wast faint and weary, and he
feared not God. Therefore it shall be, when Jehovah thy
(15:54):
God hath given thee rest from all thine enemies round
about in the land which Jehovah thy God giveth THEE
for an inheritance to possess it, that thou shalt blot
out the remembrance of Amelik from under heaven. Thou shalt
not forget. End of Chapter twenty five

beareth shall succeed in the name of his brother that
is dead, that his name be not blotted out of Israel.
(14:04):
And if the man like not to take his brother's wife,
then his brother's wife shall go up to the gate
unto the elders and say, my husband's brother refuseth to
raise up unto his brother a name in Israel. He
will not perform the duty of a husband's brother unto me.
Then the elders of his city shall call him and
speak unto him. And if he stand and say, I
(14:25):
like not to take her, then shall his brother's wife
come unto him in the presence of the elders, and
loose his shoe from off his foot and spit in
his face. And she shall answer and say, so shall
it be done unto the man that doth not build
up his brother's house, and his name shall be called
in Israel the house of him that hath his shoe loosed.
(14:48):
When men strive together one with another, and the wife
of the one draweth near to deliver her husband out
of the hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth
forth her hand and taketh him by the secrets, then
thou shalt cut off her hand. Thine eye shall have
no pity, Thou shalt not have in thy bag diverse weights,
(15:11):
a great and a small. Thou shalt not have in
thy house diverse measures, a great and a small, a
perfect and just weight. Shalt thou have a perfect and
just measure. Shalt thou have that thy days may be
long in the land which Jehovah thy God giveth THEE.
For all that do such things, even all that do unrighteously,
(15:34):
are an abomination unto Jehovah thy God. Remember what Amelik
did unto THEE by the way, as Ye came forth
out of Egypt. How he met THEE by the way
and smote the hindmost of thee, all that were feeble
behind THEE, when Thou wast faint and weary, and he
feared not God. Therefore it shall be, when Jehovah thy
(15:54):
God hath given thee rest from all thine enemies round
about in the land which Jehovah thy God giveth THEE
for an inheritance to possess it, that thou shalt blot
out the remembrance of Amelik from under heaven. Thou shalt
not forget. End of Chapter twenty five
