Deuteronomy 22:5-12 - Preserving Natural Distinctions

⁵ There shall not be the thing of a man on a woman, neither shall a man put a woman's garment on. For all that do so are abominable to Jehovah your God.

⁶ If a bird's nest happens to be before you in the way in any tree, or on the ground, with young ones or eggs, and the mother sitting on the young or on the eggs, you shall not take the mother with the young. ⁷ You shall in every case let the mother go and take the young for yourself, so that it may be well with you, and you may make your days longer. ⁸ When you build a new house, then you shall make a guard rail for your roof, so that you do not bring blood on your house, if one falls from it. ⁹ You shall not sow your vineyard with different kinds of seeds, lest the fruit of your seed which you have sown and the fruit of your vineyard be defiled. ¹⁰ You shall not plow with an ox and an ass together. ¹¹ You shall not wear a garment of different kinds, of wool and linen together. ¹² You shall make for yourself tassels on the four corners of your cloak with which you cover.
