When you lend your neighbor any kind of loan, you shall not go into his house to get his pledge.

And if the man is poor, you shall not sleep with his pledge.

You shall certainly give back the pledge to him as goes the sun; and he shall lie down in his own clothing, and shall bless you. And it shall be righteousness to you before Jehovah your God.

In the same day you shall give him his hire; do not let the sun go down on it. For he is poor, and has lifted up his heart on it; that he not cry against you to Jehovah, and it be sin against you.

The fathers shall not die for sons, and sons shall not die for fathers; they each shall die for his own sin.

then it shall be, if the wrongdoer is a son of stripes, the judge shall cause him to fall down. And one shall strike him before his face, enough for his wickedness, by number.

and it shall be, the first-born which she bears shall rise up for his dead brother's name, and his name shall not be wiped out of Israel.

And if the man does not desire to take his brother's wife then his brother's wife shall go up to the gate, to the elders, and say, My husband's brother is refusing to raise up a name to his brother in Israel; he has not been willing to performthe duty of my levirate.

And the elders of his city shall call for him and shall speak to him. And he shall stand and say, I have no desire to take her.

Then his brother's wife shall draw near to him before the elders, and shall take his shoe from his foot, and spit in his face, and shall answer and say, So it shall be done to the man who will not build up the house of his brother.

And his name shall be called in Israel, The house of him whose shoe was taken off.

When men fight with one another, and the wife of the one shall come near to deliver her husband from his assailant's hand, and shall put out her hand and lay hold on his genitals,

then you shall take of the first of all the fruit of the ground which you shall bring in from your land which Jehovah your God is giving to you, and shall put it in a basket, and shall go to the placewhich Jehovah your God shall choose tocause His name to dwell there.

You have today declared Jehovah to be your God, and to walk in His ways, and to keep His statutes and His commands, and His judgments, and to pay attention to His voice.

And Jehovah has declared you today to be His people, a special treasure as He has spoken to you, and to keep all His commands.

Therefore you shall obey the voice of Jehovah your God and do His commandments and His statutes which I command you today.

Cursed is he who dishonors his father or his mother! And all the people shall say, Amen!

Cursed is he who removes his neighbor's landmark! And all the people shall say, Amen!

Cursed is he who lies with his father's wife, because he uncovers his father's skirt! And all the people shall say, Amen!

Cursed is he who lies with his sister, his father's daughter, or his mother's daughter! And all the people shall say, Amen!
