Deuteronomy 22:8-18

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
14 quaesieritque occasiones quibus dimittat eam obiciens ei nomen pessimum et dixerit uxorem hanc accepi et ingressus ad eam non inveni virginem
15 tollent eam pater et mater eius et ferent secum signa virginitatis eius ad seniores urbis qui in porta sunt
16 et dicet pater filiam meam dedi huic uxorem quam quia odit
17 inponet ei nomen pessimum ut dicat non inveni filiam tuam virginem et ecce haec sunt signa virginitatis filiae meae expandent vestimentum coram senibus civitatis
18 adprehendentque senes urbis illius virum et verberabunt illum
