PARASHA 049 "KI TEITZEI" - "WHEN YOU GO OUT" MAIN PAGE
049 Ki Teitzei D'varim / Deuteronomy
21:10–25:19
The name of the Parshah, "Ki Teitzei," means "when you go out," and it
is found in Deuteronomy 21:10.
Seventy-four of the Torah’s 613 commandments (mitzvot) are in the
Parshah of Ki Teitzei. These include the laws of the beautiful captive,
the inheritance rights of the firstborn, the wayward and rebellious son,
burial and dignity of the dead, returning a lost object, sending away
the mother bird before taking her young, the duty to erect a safety
fence around the roof of one’s home, and the various forms of kilayim
(forbidden plant and animal hybrids).
Also recounted are the judicial procedures and penalties for adultery,
for the rape or seduction of an unmarried girl, and for a husband who
falsely accuses his wife of infidelity. The following cannot marry a
person of Jewish lineage: a mamzer (someone born from an adulterous or
incestuous relationship); a male of Moabite or Ammonite descent; a
first- or second-generation Edomite or Egyptian.
Our Parshah also includes laws governing the purity of the military
camp; the prohibition against turning in an escaped slave; the duty to
pay a worker on time, and to allow anyone working for you—man or
animal—to “eat on the job”; the proper treatment of a debtor, and the
prohibition against charging interest on a loan; the laws of divorce
(from which are also derived many of the laws of marriage); the penalty
of thirty-nine lashes for transgression of a Torah prohibition; and the
procedures for yibbum (“levirate marriage”) of the wife of a deceased
childless brother, or chalitzah (“removing of the shoe”) in the case
that the brother-in-law does not wish to marry her.
Ki Teitzei concludes with the obligation to remember “what Amalek did to
you on the road, on your way out of Egypt.”
