Deut 22:6-7
If a bird's nest chance to be before thee in the way in any tree, or on the ground, whether they be young ones, or eggs, and the dam sitting upon the young, or upon the eggs, thou shalt not take the dam with the young:
But thou shalt in any wise let the dam go, and take the young to thee; that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days.
You can take and eat the baby birds out of a nest, but you have to let the mama bird go.
Deut 22:10 Thou shalt not plow with an ox and an ass together.
For two reasons -- firstly, because one animal is clean and the other is unclean. Secondly, the ox is stronger than the ass and will be pulling harder, so they will end up pulling the plow in a big circle rather than in a straight line.

It's up to her father to prove she was a virgin. Even if she was a virgin, but her father can't prove it, she gets stoned.

Right. If she doesn't scream for help, then it isn't rape, it's fornication.

Once again, we come across a passage that proves that women are the property of men. In this case, the rapist has committed a property crime against the girl's father, similar to vandalism. An unmarried non-virgin daughter is worthless to a father. The rapist pays for the daughter and has to support her for the rest of her life. The daughter's "feelings" don't enter into the equation. Some folks might object that it is cruel to force a woman to marry her rapist. So what! No decent man would want her now, and it isn't fair to the father to have to support her for the rest of her life.
Deut 24:6
No man shall take the nether or the upper millstone to pledge: for he taketh a man's life to pledge.
If a man can't repay his loan, you can't take away his means to earn a living as payment, because that is the same as taking his life away as payment.
Deut 24:8-9
Take heed in the plague of leprosy, that thou observe diligently, and do according to all that the priests the Levites shall teach you: as I commanded them, so ye shall observe to do.
Remember what the LORD thy God did unto Miriam by the way, after that ye were come forth out of Egypt.
Obey the Levites, or God will give you leprosy just like He did to Miriam.
