<t /><p class="bodytext">If a person commits a sin punishable by death and is executed, and you hang the corpse<n id="1" /> on a tree,

<t /><p class="bodytext">Take note &#8211; I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse:<n id="1" />

You must not show pity; the principle will be a life for a life, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a hand for a hand, and a foot for a foot.<n id="1" />p>

For the <sc>Lordsc> your God is a consuming fire; he is a jealous God.<n id="1" />p>

If a false<n id="1" /> witness testifies against another person and accuses him of a crime,<n id="2" />

<p class="bodytext">You must not have in your bag different stone weights,<n id="1" /> a heavy and a light one.<n id="2" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">Suppose a man marries a woman, has sexual relations with her,<n id="1" /> and then rejects<n id="2" /> her,

You must not have in your house different measuring containers,<n id="1" /> a large and a small one.

<p class="bodytext">You are to have a place outside the camp to serve as a latrine.<n id="1" />

Suppose a prophet or one who foretells by dreams<n id="1" /> should appear among you and show you a sign or wonder,<n id="2" />

one who casts spells,<n id="1" /> one who conjures up spirits,<n id="2" /> a practitioner of the occult,<n id="3" /> or a necromancer.<n id="4" />

<p class="bodytext">You must not pervert justice due a resident foreigner or an orphan, or take a widow&#8217;s garment as security for a loan.

<p class="bodytext">Suppose a man comes across a virgin who is not engaged and overpowers and rapes<n id="1" /> her and they are discovered.

You must not erect a sacred pillar,<n id="1" /> a thing the <sc>Lordsc> your God detests.

<p class="bodytext">If a virgin is engaged to a man and another man meets<n id="1" /> her in the city and has sexual relations with<n id="2" /> her,

<p class="bodytext">One must not take either lower or upper millstones as security on a loan, for that is like taking a life itself as security.<n id="1" />p>

You will be engaged to a woman and another man will rape<n id="1" /> her. You will build a house but not live in it. You will plant a vineyard but not even begin to use it.

<t /><p class="bodytext">There must never be a sacred prostitute<n id="1" /> among the young women<n id="2" /> of Israel nor a sacred male prostitute<n id="3" /> among the young men<n id="4" /> of Israel.

<p class="poetry">Moses delivered to us a law,<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">an inheritance for the assembly of Jacob.p>

For the <sc>Lordsc> your God is bringing you to a good land, a land of brooks,<n id="1" /> springs, and fountains flowing forth in valleys and hills,
