Deuteronomy 24

1When a manH376 taketh a wifeH802, and marrieth her, it shall beH1961 if she findH4672 no favour in his eyesH5869, because he hath foundH4672 some unseemly thingH1697 in her, that he shall writeH3789 her a letterH5612 of divorce, and giveH5414 it into her handH3027, and sendH7971 her out of his houseH1004. 2And she shall depart out of his houseH1004, and goH1980 away, and may becomeH1961 another man's wife. 3And if the latterH314 husbandH376 hateH8130 her, and writeH3789 her a letterH5612 of divorce, and giveH5414 it into her handH3027, and sendH7971 her out of his houseH1004; or if the latterH314 husbandH376 dieH4191 who tookH3947 her as his wifeH802; 4her firstH7223 husbandH1167, who sentH7971 her awayH7971, may not takeH3947 her again to beH1961 his wifeH802, after that she is defiledH2930; for it is an abominationH8441 before Jehovah; and thou shalt not cause the landH776 to sinH2398, which Jehovah thy 1GodH430 giveth thee for an inheritanceH5159. 5When a manH376 hath newly takenH3947 a wifeH802, he shall not goH3318 out with the armyH6635, neither shall any kind of business beH1961 imposed upon him; he shall beH1961 freeH5355 for his houseH1004 oneH259 yearH8141, and shall gladden his wifeH802 whom he hath takenH3947. 6No man shall takeH2254 the hand-mill or the upperH7393 millstoneH7393 in pledge; for it would be taking lifeH5315 in pledge. 7If a manH376 be foundH4672 who hath stolenH1589 oneH376 of his brethren of the children of IsraelH3478, and who hath treated him as a slave and soldH4376 him, that thiefH1590 shall dieH4191; and thou shalt putH4191 evilH7451 away from thy midstH7130. 8TakeH8104 heedH8104 in the plagueH5061 of leprosy, that thou takeH8104 great heedH8104, and do according to all that the priestsH3548 the LevitesH3881 shall teachH3384 you: as I commandedH6680 them shall ye takeH8104 heedH8104 to do. 9RememberH2142 what Jehovah thy 2GodH430 did unto MiriamH4813 on the wayH1870, after that ye cameH3318 forthH3318 out of EgyptH4714. 10When thou dost lendH5670 thy brother anythingH3972, thou shalt not goH935 into his houseH1004 to secure his pledgeH5667. 11Thou shalt standH5975 outside, and the manH376 to whom thou hast made a loan shall bringH3318 out the pledgeH5667 to thee without. 12And if the manH376 be needy, thou shalt not lieH7901 down with his pledgeH5667; 13in any case thou shalt returnH7725 him the pledgeH5667 at the goingH935 downH7901 of the sunH8121, that he may sleep in his own upper garmentH8008 and blessH1288 thee; and it shall beH1961 righteousnessH6666 unto thee before Jehovah thy 3GodH430. 14Thou shalt not oppressH6231 a hired servant [who is] poorH6041 and needyH34 of thy brethren, or of thy sojournersH1616 who are in thy landH776 within thy gatesH8179: 15on his dayH3117 thou shalt giveH5414 him his hireH7939, neither shall the sunH8121 goH935 down upon it; for he is poorH6041, and his soulH5315 yearneth after it; lest he cry against thee to Jehovah, and it beH1961 a sinH2399 in thee. 16The fathersH1 shall not be putH4191 to deathH4191 for the sonsH1121, neither shall the sonsH1121 be putH4191 to deathH4191 for the fathersH1: every manH376 shall be putH4191 to deathH4191 for his own sinH2399. 17Thou shalt not pervert the judgmentH4941 of the stranger, [or] of the fatherlessH3490; and thou shalt not takeH2254 in pledge a widow's garmentH899. 18And thou shalt rememberH2142 that thou wast a bondman in EgyptH4714, and that Jehovah thy 4GodH430 redeemedH6299 thee from thence; thereforeH3651 I commandH6680 thee to do this thingH1697. 19When thou reapest thy harvestH7105 in thy fieldH7704, and forgettest a sheafH6016 in the fieldH7704, thou shalt not returnH7725 to fetch it; it shall beH1961 for the stranger, for the fatherlessH3490, and for the widowH490; that Jehovah thy 5GodH430 may blessH1288 thee in all the workH4639 of thy handsH3027. 20When thou shakest thine olive-tree, thou shalt not go over the boughs again; it shall beH1961 for the stranger, for the fatherlessH3490, and for the widowH490. 21When thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyardH3754, thou shalt not glean it afterwards; it shall beH1961 for the stranger, for the fatherlessH3490, and for the widowH490. 22And thou shalt rememberH2142 that thou wast a bondman in the landH776 of EgyptH4714; thereforeH3651 I commandH6680 thee to do this thingH1697.
