24 When a man hath taken
a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in
his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write
her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of
his house. 2 And when she is departed out of his house,
she may go and be another man's wife. 3 And if the latter husband hate her, and
write her a bill of divorcement, and giveth it in her hand, and sendeth
her out of his house; or if the latter husband die, which took her to be
his wife; 4 Her former husband, which sent her away,
may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that
is abomination before the LORD: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin,
which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance. 5 When a man hath taken a new wife, he
shall not go out to war, neither shall he be charged with any business:
but he shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer up his wife which
he hath taken. 6 No man shall take the nether or the upper
millstone to pledge: for he taketh a man's life to pledge. 7 If a man be found stealing any of his
brethren of the children of Israel, and maketh merchandise of him, or selleth
him; then that thief shall die; and thou shalt put evil away from among
you. 8 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. 9 Remember what the LORD thy God did unto
Miriam by the way, after that ye were come forth out of Egypt. 10 When thou dost lend thy brother any
thing, thou shalt not go into his house to fetch his pledge. 11 Thou shalt stand abroad, and the man
to whom thou dost lend shall bring out the pledge abroad unto thee.
12
And if the man be poor, thou shalt not sleep with his pledge: 13 In
any case thou shalt deliver him the pledge again when the sun goeth down,
that he may sleep in his own raiment, and bless thee: and it shall be righteousness
unto thee before the LORD thy God. 14 Thou
shalt not oppress an hired servant that is poor and needy, whether he be
of thy brethren, or of thy strangers that are in thy land within thy gates: 15 At
his day thou shalt give him his hire, neither shall the sun go down upon
it; for he is poor, and setteth his heart upon it: lest he cry against thee
unto the LORD, and it be sin unto thee. 16 The
fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children
be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his
own sin. 17 Thou
shalt not pervert the judgment of the stranger, nor of the fatherless; nor
take a widow's raiment to pledge: 18 But
thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt, and the LORD thy
God redeemed thee thence: therefore I command thee to do this thing. 19 When
thou cuttest down thine harvest in thy field, and hast forgot a sheaf in
the field, thou shalt not go again to fetch it: it shall be for the stranger,
for the fatherless, and for the widow: that the LORD thy God may bless thee
in all the work of thine hands. 20 When
thou beatest thine olive tree, thou shalt not go over the boughs again:
it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow. 21 When
thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not glean it afterward:
it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow. 22 And
thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt: therefore
I command thee to do this thing.
