This chapter contains diverse laws promoting social responsibility, holiness, and neighborly care. It commands the return of lost livestock, the construction of a parapet (safety rail) around flat rooftops, and the prohibition against wearing clothes made of mixed fibers (wool and linen). It includes strict laws against cross-dressing and commands against mixing different kinds of animals or seeds. The chapter concludes with severe penalties, often death by stoning, for various forms of sexual immorality.
