Deuteronomy 22

Gen Z: Deuteronomy 22

1Don’t just ghost when your bro’s ox or sheep is lost; you gotta help him out and bring it back.

2If your bro ain’t around or you don’t even know him, just take it to your place until he comes looking for it, then give it back, no cap.

3Same goes for his donkey; and if you find any of his stuff, you gotta do the right thing and return it, no hiding.

4If you see your bro’s donkey or ox fall, don’t just dip; you gotta help him get it back up, fr.

5Girls can’t rock guy’s clothes and guys can’t wear girl’s fits; that’s just sus and not cool with God.

6If you spot a bird’s nest on your way, don’t take the mama bird with the babies; that’s just savage.

7Let the mama bird go and take the chicks; that way, you’ll be vibing and live long, periodt.

8When you build a new crib, make sure to put up a guard on the roof so no one falls off and you don’t catch a case.

9Don’t mix up seeds in your vineyard; keep it pure, or else your harvest is gonna be a mess, fr.

10Don’t plow with an ox and a donkey together; that combo just ain’t it.

11No cap, don’t mix fabrics like wool and linen together in your fits.

12You gotta throw some fringes on the corners of your drip, fam.

13If a dude takes a wifey and then acts sus towards her,

14And starts spreading rumors about her, saying he found her not a maid, that’s just savage.

15Then her dad and mom gotta bring proof of her virginity to the city elders, for real.

16And her pops will tell the elders, “I gave my daughter to this dude, and he’s hating on her.”

17And he’ll say, “Look, he’s saying my daughter wasn’t a maid, but here’s the proof.” They’ll show the cloth to the city elders.

18The elders are gonna take that guy and give him a solid talking to.

19They’ll hit him with a fine of a hundred shekels and give it to the girl’s dad, since he’s spread bad vibes about a virgin of Israel; she’s still his wife, no cap.

20But if this tea is true, and there’s no proof of her virginity, then it’s a whole different story.

21They gotta take the girl to her dad’s crib, and the dudes from the city are gonna stone her, no cap, 'cause she acted sus in Israel, playing the field at her pops' place. That's how you keep the bad vibes away from y'all.

22If a dude gets caught with a married woman, both of them are getting canceled, like, for real. That's how you keep the bad energy outta Israel.

23If a virgin girl is promised to a dude and some guy finds her in the city and gets with her;

24Then you gotta bring both of them to the city gate and stone them, fr. The girl didn’t scream for help in the city, and the guy disrespected his homie's girl; that's how you keep the bad vibes away from y'all.

25But if a dude finds a betrothed girl in the field and forces himself on her, only that guy gets canceled:

26The girl ain't done nothing wrong; she’s not getting the death penalty. It's like when a dude attacks his neighbor and takes him out, that’s the same energy.

27He found her in the field, and the promised girl cried out, but no one was there to help her.

28If a dude finds a virgin girl who's not promised to anyone and gets with her, and they get caught;

29Then the guy who got with her has to pay her dad fifty shekels of silver, and she’s his wife now, 'cause he disrespected her, and he can't just ghost her ever.

30A dude can't take his dad's wife or mess with his pops' lady.

KJV: Deuteronomy 22

1Thou shalt not see thy brother’s ox or his sheep go astray, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt in any case bring them again unto thy brother.

2And if thy brother be not nigh unto thee, or if thou know him not, then thou shalt bring it unto thine own house, and it shall be with thee until thy brother seek after it, and thou shalt restore it to him again.

3In like manner shalt thou do with his ass; and so shalt thou do with his raiment; and with all lost thing of thy brother’s, which he hath lost, and thou hast found, shalt thou do likewise: thou mayest not hide thyself.

4Thou shalt not see thy brother’s ass or his ox fall down by the way, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt surely help him to lift them up again.

5The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the Lord thy God.

6If a bird’s nest chance to be before thee in the way in any tree, or on the ground, whether they be young ones, or eggs, and the dam sitting upon the young, or upon the eggs, thou shalt not take the dam with the young:

7But thou shalt in any wise let the dam go, and take the young to thee; that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days.

8When thou buildest a new house, then thou shalt make a battlement for thy roof, that thou bring not blood upon thine house, if any man fall from thence.

9Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with divers seeds: lest the fruit of thy seed which thou hast sown, and the fruit of thy vineyard, be defiled.

10Thou shalt not plow with an ox and an ass together.

11Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts, as of woollen and linen together.

12Thou shalt make thee fringes upon the four quarters of thy vesture, wherewith thou coverest thyself.

13If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate her,

14And give occasions of speech against her, and bring up an evil name upon her, and say, I took this woman, and when I came to her, I found her not a maid:

15Then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth the tokens of the damsel’s virginity unto the elders of the city in the gate:

16And the damsel’s father shall say unto the elders, I gave my daughter unto this man to wife, and he hateth her;

17And, lo, he hath given occasions of speech against her, saying, I found not thy daughter a maid; and yet these are the tokens of my daughter’s virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city.

18And the elders of that city shall take that man and chastise him;

19And they shall amerce him in an 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; he may not put her away all his days.

20But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel:

21Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father’s house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die: because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the whore in her father’s house: so shalt thou put evil away from among you.

22If a man be found lying with a woman married to an husband, then they shall both of them die, both the man that lay with the woman, and the woman: so shalt thou put away evil from Israel.

23If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto an husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her;

24Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; 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 evil from among you.

25But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with her shall die:

26But 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 neighbour, and slayeth him, even so is this matter:

27For he found her in the field, and the betrothed damsel cried, and there was none to save her.

28If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;

29Then 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.

30A man shall not take his father’s wife, nor discover his father’s skirt.
