If your fellow Israelite does not live near you or you do not know who [the owner] is, you shall bring it home and it shall remain with you until your peer claims it; then you shall give it back.
You shall do the same with that person’s ass; you shall do the same with that person’s garment; and so too shall you do with anything that your fellow Israelite loses and you find: you must not remain indifferent.
If, along the road, you chance upon a bird’s nest, in any tree or on the ground, with fledglings or eggs and the mother sitting over the fledglings or on the eggs, do not take the mother together with her young.

But if the charge proves true, the girl was found not to have been a virgin,
then the girl shall be brought out to the entrance of her father’s house, and her town’s council town’s council See note at 21.21. shall stone her to death; for she did a shameful thing in Israel, committing fornication while under her father’s authority. Thus you will sweep away evil from your midst.
If a man is found lying with another man’s wife, both of them—the man and the woman with whom he lay—shall die. Thus you will sweep away evil from Israel.

In the case of a virgin who is engaged to someone who is engaged to someone I.e., for whom a bride-price has been paid; see 20.7. —if another man comes upon her in town and lies with her,
you shall take the two of them out to the gate of that town and stone them to death: the girl because she did not cry for help in the town, and the man because he violated his neighbor’s wife. Thus you will sweep away evil from your midst.
but you shall do nothing to the girl. The girl did not incur the death penalty, for this case is like that of one party attacking and murdering another.

If a man comes upon a virgin who is not engaged and he seizes her and lies with her, and they are discovered,
the party who lay with her shall pay the girl’s father fifty [shekels of] silver, and she shall be his wife. Because he has violated her, he can never have the right to divorce her.
