Deuteronomy 22:3-13

3 similiter facies de asino et de vestimento et de omni re fratris tui quae perierit si inveneris eam ne neglegas quasi alienam

4 si videris asinum fratris tui aut bovem cecidisse in via non despicies sed sublevabis cum eo

5 non induetur mulier veste virili nec vir utetur veste feminea abominabilis enim apud Deum est qui facit haec

6 si ambulans per viam in arbore vel in terra nidum avis inveneris et matrem pullis vel ovis desuper incubantem non tenebis eam cum filiis

7 sed abire patieris captos tenens filios ut bene sit tibi et longo vivas tempore

8 cum aedificaveris domum novam facies murum tecti per circuitum ne effundatur sanguis in domo tua et sis reus labente alio et in praeceps ruente

9 non seres vineam tuam altero semine ne et sementis quam sevisti et quae nascuntur ex vinea pariter sanctificentur

10 non arabis in bove simul et asino

11 non indueris vestimento quod ex lana linoque contextum est

12 funiculos in fimbriis facies per quattuor angulos pallii tui quo operieris

13 si duxerit vir uxorem et postea eam odio habuerit
