Deuteronomy 22:12

Verse 12 of 30. The 22nd of 34 chapters in Deuteronomy, in The Law.

8When you build a new house, then you shall make a railing around your roof, so that you don’t bring blood on your house if anyone falls from there.

9You shall not sow your vineyard with two kinds of seed, lest all the fruit be defiled, the seed which you have sown, and the increase of the vineyard.

10You shall not plow with an ox and a donkey together.

11You shall not wear clothes of wool and linen woven together.

12You shall make yourselves fringes on the four corners of your cloak with which you cover yourself.

13If any man takes a wife, and goes in to her, hates her,

14accuses her of shameful things, gives her a bad name, and says, “I took this woman, and when I came near to her, I didn’t find in her the tokens of virginity;”

15then the young lady’s father and mother shall take and bring the tokens of the young lady’s virginity to the elders of the city in the gate.

16The young lady’s father shall tell the elders, “I gave my daughter to this man as his wife, and he hates her.
