Deuteronomy 22:5-12 - Preserving Natural Distinctions

⁵ A woman shall not have on the wearing apparel of a man, nor shall a man put on the mantle of a woman; for an abomination to Yahweh thy God, is any one who doeth these things.

⁶ When a bird's-nest chanceth to be before thee, - in the way, in any tree or upon the ground, whether with nestlings or eggs, and, the mother, be sitting upon the nestlings or upon the eggs, thou shalt not take the mother upon the young; ⁷ thou shalt let toll the mother, and then, her young, mayest thou take for thyself, - that it may go well with thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days. ⁸ When thou buildest a new house, then shalt thou make a parapet to thy roof, so shalt thou not treasure up blood-guiltiness against thy house, for he that is in danger of falling might fall therefrom. ⁹ Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with two sorts of seed, - lest the fulness of the seed which thou sowest, and the increase of thy vineyard be profaned. ¹⁰ Thou shalt not plough with an ox and an ass together, ¹¹ Thou shalt not put on linsey-woolsey, of wool and flax together. ¹² Tassels, shalt thou make thee, - on the four corners of thy vesture, wherewith thou dost cover thyself.
