Why does the spelling look unusual?

¹ Thou shalt not see thy brothers oxe, or his sheepe go astray, and hide thy selfe from them: thou shalt in any case bring them againe vnto thy brother.

² And if thy brother be not nigh vnto thee, or if thou know him not, then thou shalt bring it vnto thine owne house, and it shall be with thee, vntil thy brother seeke after it, and thou shalt restore it to him againe.

³ In like maner shalt thou do with his asse, and so shalt thou doe with his raiment: and with all lost thing of thy brothers which he hath lost, and thou hast found, shalt thou do likewise: thou mayest not hide thy selfe.

⁴ ¶ Thou shalt not see thy brothers asse or his oxe fall downe by the way, and hide thy selfe from them: thou shalt surely helpe him to lift them vp againe.

⁵ ¶ The woman shall not weare that which pertaineth vnto a man, neither shall a man put on a womans garment: for all that doe so, are abomination vnto the Lord thy God.

⁶ ¶ If a birds nest chance to be before thee in the way in any tree, or on the ground, whether they be yong ones, or egges, and the damme sitting vpon the yong, or vpon the egges, thou shalt not take the damme with the yong.

⁷ But thou shalt in any wise let the damme goe, and take the yong to thee, that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy dayes.

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

⁹ ¶ Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with diuers seeds: lest the fruit of thy seed which thou hast sowen, and the fruit of thy Uineyard be defiled.

¹⁰ ¶ Thou shalt not plow with an oxe and an asse together.

¹¹ ¶ Thou shalt not weare a garment of diuers sorts, as of woollen, and linnen together.

¹² ¶ Thou shalt make thee fringes vpon the foure quarters of thy vesture, wherewith thou couerest thy selfe.

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

¹⁴ And giue occasions of speach against her, and bring vp an euill name vpon her, and say, I tooke this woman, and when I came to her, I found her not a mayd:

¹⁵ Then shal the father of the damosell, and her mother take, and bring forth the tokens of the damosels virginitie, vnto the Elders of the citie in the gate.

¹⁶ And the damosels father shall say vnto the Elders, I gaue my daughter vnto this man to wife, & he hateth her:

¹⁷ And loe, he hath giuen occasions of speech against her, saying, I found not thy daughter a maid: and yet these are the tokens of my daughters virginity; and they shall spread the cloth before the Elders of the citie.

¹⁸ And the Elders of that citie shall take that man, and chastise him.

¹⁹ And they shall amearse him in an hundred shekels of siluer, and giue them vnto the father of the damosell, because he hath brought vp an euill name vpon a virgine of Israel: and she shall be his wife, hee may not put her away all his dayes.

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

²¹ Then they shall bring out the damosell to the doore of her fathers house, and the men of her city shal stone her with stones that she die, because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the whore in her fathers house: so shalt thou put euill away from among you.

²² ¶ If 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 euill from Israel.

²³ ¶ If a damosell that is a virgin be betrothed vnto an husband, and a man find her in the citie, and lie with her:

²⁴ Then yee shall bring them both out vnto the gate of that citie, and yee shall stone them with stones that they die; the damosel, because shee cried not, being in the citie; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbours wife: so thou shalt put away euill from among you.

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

²⁶ But vnto the damosel thou shalt doe nothing, there is in the damosel no sinne worthy of death: for as when a man riseth against his neighbour, and slayeth him, euen so is this matter.

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

²⁸ ¶ If a man finde a damosel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found:

²⁹ Then the man that lay with her, shall giue vnto the damosels father fifty shekels of siluer, and she shalbe his wife, because he hath humbled her: he may not put her away all his dayes.

³⁰ ¶ A man shall not take his fathers wife, nor discouer his fathers skirt.

Please kindly enlighten me more about the name Joan. Where can it be found in the bible. I have a new born baby girl and I am suggesting that name for her. I really need your assistance on this. Kindly treat as urgent.

Is it wrong therefore to wear a kilt as men in SCotland do

AJ's Deuteronomy Chapter 22 comment about verse 5 on 3/12/2013, 12:03pm...

@Yemmy,
We need to have these discussions, because there are people like me, that have grown up thinking, what I wore is what would determine whether I make it into heaven. Please be patient as God uses people like you and these discussions to persuade me to trust Him.
@Steve,
You're proving Jacque’s point. It's not necessarily WHAT we wear, but the attitude behind it. Women began to wear pants to show that "what a man can do, a woman can do even better!" Some aren't satisfied to just wear pants, but want to be sexy to attract attention. I know all scripture is profitable, but I'm in the process of reading the words that came out of Jesus' mouth (red letters) I want to know what was important enough for Jesus to speak. I know all scripture is profitable.

Bryant Fry's Deuteronomy Chapter 22 comment about verse 5 on 3/03/2013, 9:11pm...

Moses here is speaking of the identity of the two genders, and it is a comparison to nature. Paul in 1 Corinthians 11:14-15 is reiterating the same principle in the church age that we read here in this passage. Just as we are not to change the identity of the genders for any reason, so Paul is saying the same thing in the New Testament. Consider this: God made the gender differences a very important part of our lives. He made the distinctions, not man. He designed the distinctions in hair lengths, and the distinctions in clothing, not man. This nature was established in Genesis and carries through to the book of Revelation and beyond. 1 Corinthians 14:33 “For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints." God still expects us to follow His standards. Here are examples of how God's standards haven't changed: “I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering (Isaiah 50:3).”
“ Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? (Matthew 6:30)”
“If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith (Luke 12:28)?”
Isaiah tells us how God clothed the heavens, and continues to do so. In the Matthew and Luke passages, we see that God still has the same nature for grasses that existed thousands of years ago.

Bro Lemogang's Deuteronomy Chapter 22 comment on 3/01/2013, 9:18am...

@Benedict,
Before I can start anything, let me ask does God ever change or is he the same yesterday, today and forever? Or does he ever change his Word, Will, Laws?

Emmanuel King's Deuteronomy Chapter 22 comment about verse 5 on 2/27/2013, 6:05am...

Before we say anything, we should ask God for knowledge. My knowledge and understanding is, there were no trousers for even men when this command was given by God. So to me, it remains simple; a man must not wear what belong to his wife and women what belong to their husbands, or a man must not wear what has been worn by a woman and vice versa. God is spirit and they that worship him, must worship him in spirit and in truth. What a man wears cannot destroy the soul but the sin you do with your mind and heart like theft, fornication, adultery and the likes. May God give us wisdom and understanding of his works. Amen

Eric Obika's Deuteronomy Chapter 22 comment about verse 5 on 2/18/2013, 3:22pm...

Deuteronomy 22:5 is quite clear for the understanding of the simple but our ignorance may not allow our horizon to be broadened. At first, what pertaineth to an opposite sex is abnormal to be worn. How can my girlfriend wear my clothe? It’s wrong! Any clothe that has been worn by a man should not be repeated by a woman. We are different in physique and nature therefore we shouldn't interwear clothes, that's my understanding of the verse. Those saying that women wearing trouser is a sin should read again with understanding. When God gave the command, there was no disparity in terms of clothing. Both sexes wear ropes but that which has been worn by a man should not be worn by a woman. Keep faith!

Joshua's Deuteronomy Chapter 22 comment about verse 5 on 2/06/2013, 4:33pm...

@B B,
You can’t tell me your heart is clean and you commit abomination. Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh. So, you can only show out what's inside you.
