1
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
L
ORD
: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which the
L
ORD
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
L
ORD
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.
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
L
ORD
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
L
ORD
, 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
L
ORD
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
L
ORD
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.
