Deuteronomy 24

1When a manH376 taketh a wifeH802, and marrieth herH7971, then it shall be, ifH518 sheH3588 findH4672 noH3808 favour in his eyesH5869, becauseH3588 he hath foundH4672 someH376 unseemly thingH1697 in herH7971, that he shall writeH3789 herH7971 a bill of divorcement, and giveH5414 it in herH7971 handH3027, and sendH7971 herH7971 outH7971 of his houseH1004. 2And when sheH1980 is departedH1980 outH3318 of his houseH1004, sheH1980 may goH1980 and be anotherH312 man’sH376 wife. 3And ifH3588 the latterH314 husbandH376 hateH8130 herH7971, and writeH3789 herH7971 a bill of divorcement, and giveH5414 it in herH7971 handH3027, and sendH7971 herH7971 outH7971 of his houseH1004; or ifH3588 the latterH314 husbandH376 dieH4191, whichH834 tookH3947 herH7971 to be his wifeH802; 4herH7971 formerH7223 husbandH1167, whichH834 sentH7971 herH7971 awayH7971, may notH3808 takeH3947 herH7971 againH7725 to be his wifeH802, afterH310 that sheH1931 is defiledH2930; for that is abominationH8441 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068: and thou shalt notH3808 causeH5414 the landH776 to sinH2398, whichH834 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 giveth thee for an inheritanceH5159. 5When a manH376 taketh a newH2319 wifeH802, he shall notH3808 goH3318 outH3318 in the hostH6635, neitherH3808 shall he be charged with anyH3605 businessH1697: he shall be freeH5355 at homeH1004 one yearH8141, and shall cheer his wifeH802 whichH834 he hath takenH3947. 6NoH3808 manH5315 shall takeH2254 the mill or the upperH7393 millstoneH7393 to pledge: for he taketh a man’sH5315 lifeH5315 to pledge. 7IfH3588 a manH376 be foundH4672 stealingH1589 anyH376 of his brethrenH251 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and he deal with him as a slaveH5315, or sellH4376 him; then that thiefH1590 shall dieH4191: soH4191 shalt thou putH4191 awayH1589 the evilH7451 from the midstH7130 of thee. 8TakeH8104 heedH8104 in the plagueH5061 of leprosyH6883, that thou observeH8104 diligentlyH3966, and doH6213 according to allH3605 that the priestsH3548 the LevitesH3881 shall teachH3384 youH834: as I commandedH6680 them, soH6213 ye shall observeH8104 to doH6213. 9RememberH2142 whatH834 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 didH6213 unto MiriamH4813, by the wayH1870 as ye cameH3318 forthH3318 outH3318 of EgyptH4714. 10When thou dost lendH5670 thy neighbour anyH3972 manner of loanH4859, thou shalt notH3808 goH935 intoH413 his houseH1004 to fetch his pledgeH5667. 11Thou shalt standH5975 without, and the manH376 to whomH834 thou dost lendH834 shall bringH3318 forthH3318 the pledgeH5667 without unto thee. 12And ifH518 he be a poorH6041 manH376, thou shalt notH3808 sleepH7901 with his pledgeH5667: 13thou shalt surelyH7725 restoreH7725 to him the pledgeH5667 when the sunH8121 goeth downH7901, that he may sleepH7901 in his garmentH8008, and blessH1288 thee: and it shall be righteousnessH6666 unto thee beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430. 14Thou shalt notH3808 oppressH6231 an hiredH7916 servantH7916 that is poorH6041 and needyH34, whetherH176 he be of thy brethrenH251, or of thy strangersH1616 that are in thy landH776 within thy gatesH8179: 15in his dayH3117 thou shalt giveH5414 him his hireH7939, neitherH3808 shall the sunH8121 goH935 downH5414 uponH5921 it; for he is poorH6041, and setteth his heartH5315 uponH5921 it: lest he cryH7121 againstH5921 thee unto the LORDH3068, and it be sinH2399 unto thee. 16The fathersH1 shall notH3808 be putH4191 to deathH4191 for the childrenH1121, neitherH3808 shall the childrenH1121 be putH4191 to deathH4191 for the fathersH1: everyH376 manH376 shall be putH4191 to deathH4191 for his ownH376 sinH2399. 17Thou shalt notH3808 wrest the judgmentH4941 of the strangerH1616, norH3808 of the fatherlessH3490; norH3808 takeH2254 the widow’sH490 raiment to pledge: 18but thou shalt rememberH2142 that thou wast a bondman in EgyptH4714, and the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 redeemedH6299 thee thence: therefore I commandH6680 thee to doH6213 this thingH1697. 19When thou reapest thine harvestH7105 in thy fieldH7704, and hast forgotH7911 a sheafH6016 in the fieldH7704, thou shalt notH3808 goH7725 againH7725 to fetch it: it shall be for the strangerH1616, for the fatherlessH3490, and for the widowH490: that the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 may blessH1288 thee in allH3605 the workH4639 of thine handsH3027. 20When thou beatest thine oliveH2132 treeH2132, thou shalt notH3808 goH1961 over the boughs againH310: it shall be for the strangerH1616, for the fatherlessH3490, and for the widowH490. 21When thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyardH3754, thou shalt notH3808 glean it afterH310 thee: it shall be for the strangerH1616, for the fatherlessH3490, and for the widowH490. 22And thou shalt rememberH2142 that thou wast a bondman in the landH776 of EgyptH4714: therefore I commandH6680 thee to doH6213 this thingH1697.
