旧约 - 申命记(Deuteronomy)第22章

If you see your brother's ox or sheep straying, do not ignore it but be sure to take it back to him.
If the brother does not live near you or if you do not know who he is, take it home with you and keep it until he comes looking for it. Then give it back to him.
Do the same if you find your brother's donkey or his cloak or anything he loses. Do not ignore it.
If you see your brother's donkey or his ox fallen on the road, do not ignore it. Help him get it to its feet.
A woman must not wear men's clothing, nor a man wear women's clothing, for the LORD your God detests anyone who does this.
If you come across a bird's nest beside the road, either in a tree or on the ground, and the mother is sitting on the young or on the eggs, do not take the mother with the young.
You may take the young, but be sure to let the mother go, so that it may go well with you and you may have a long life.
When you build a new house, make a parapet around your roof so that you may not bring the guilt of bloodshed on your house if someone falls from the roof.
Do not plant two kinds of seed in your vineyard; if you do, not only the crops you plant but also the fruit of the vineyard will be defiled.
Do not plow with an ox and a donkey yoked together.
Do not wear clothes of wool and linen woven together.
Make tassels on the four corners of the cloak you wear.
If a man takes a wife and, after lying with her, dislikes her
and slanders her and gives her a bad name, saying, "I married this woman, but when I approached her, I did not find proof of her virginity,"
then the girl's father and mother shall bring proof that she was a virgin to the town elders at the gate.
The girl's father will say to the elders, "I gave my daughter in marriage to this man, but he dislikes her.
Now he has slandered her and said, 'I did not find your daughter to be a virgin.' But here is the proof of my daughter's virginity." Then her parents shall display the cloth before the elders of the town,
and the elders shall take the man and punish him.
They shall fine him a hundred shekels of silver and give them to the girl's father, because this man has given an Israelite virgin a bad name. She shall continue to be his wife; he must not divorce her as long as he lives.
If, however, the charge is true and no proof of the girl's virginity can be found,
she shall be brought to the door of her father's house and there the men of her town shall stone her to death. She has done a disgraceful thing in Israel by being promiscuous while still in her father's house. You must purge the evil from among you.
If a man is found sleeping with another man's wife, both the man who slept with her and the woman must die. You must purge the evil from Israel.
If a man happens to meet in a town a virgin pledged to be married and he sleeps with her,
you shall take both of them to the gate of that town and stone them to death--the girl because she was in a town and did not scream for help, and the man because he violated another man's wife. You must purge the evil from among you.
But if out in the country a man happens to meet a girl pledged to be married and rapes her, only the man who has done this shall die.
Do nothing to the girl; she has committed no sin deserving death. This case is like that of someone who attacks and murders his neighbor,
for the man found the girl out in the country, and though the betrothed girl screamed, there was no one to rescue her.
If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered,
he shall pay the girl's father fifty shekels of silver. He must marry the girl, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives.
A man is not to marry his father's wife; he must not dishonor his father's bed.
申命记第廿二章   第 22 章 

  申 22:1-4> 拾金不昧,在我是不加思索的事吗? 

  22:1-4 拾到别人丢失的财物或牲畜要归还原主,这跟世俗之人的“得者妥收藏,失者泪汪汪”恰成对比。我们不应该把失物据为己有,要完完整整地归还原主,不要对别人的东西眼红而生出贪婪之心。 

  申 22:5> 男女服饰应有别,这里只是说衣服吗?怎样守自己的本分? 

  22:5 这一节吩咐无论男女,都不可穿着异性的服装,即不要改变性角色。这里不是指服装要注重样式。现在有许多人不喜欢自己的性别,有些男人想变为女人,女人想变为男人。并不是服装的样式使神憎恶,而是那些穿起异性服装,想扮演异性角色的人令神憎恶;例如人妖之类,神就不喜欢。因为神造我们有男有女,各具有独一的性别特征。 

  申 22:8-11> 每条律法都有具体规定,它的实质是什么? 

  22:8-11 这几节是实用的律法,有助人在日常生活中养成好的习惯。第 8 节是因为那时人用屋顶作走廊,所以在它四围安装栏杆,是一种聪明而安全的设施,免得人从房上掉下来。第 9 节说如果你在同一块地上种两种不同的庄稼,其中的一种就不能生存,因为长得高而肥壮的,会占去阳光和土中的养料。第 10 节说,牛和驴力气不同,大小也有别,所以不能用在一起耕地。 11 节说,两种不同的衣料,麻和羊毛质地不同,耐久性与耐洗度也不一样,把这两样搀杂起来做衣服,衣服便容易损坏。神的律法不是任意限制人,我们要认识律法的内涵。神制定律法,不但为着教导人、限制人、也为着要保护人。 

  申 22:13-30> 圣经中的性观念在今天是否太陈旧?还需不需要谨守? 

  22:13-30 神为什么将性犯罪的事也列在律法之中?关于性行为方面的嘱咐,对于两三百万在旷野安营四十年的以色列人来说,极其重要。在进入应许之地定居下来,成为一个民族的时候,这律法对他们也同样的重要。保罗认为信徒在性这方面有严厉的法规,是极为重要的,因为这方面的罪行有败坏且毁灭教会的力量(参西 3:5-8 )。牵涉到性的罪行,并不像有些人所描绘的那样无伤大雅,要知道它有毁灭人际关系的力量,能搅乱和破坏相敬如宾、彼此信任、互相尊重的气氛,而这些都是稳固的婚姻以及儿女正常成长时绝不可少的条件。──《灵修版圣经注释》
