24:1 When a man takes a wife, and marries her, then it will be, if she finds no favor in his eyes, because he has found some unseemly thing in her, that he will write her a bill of divorce, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house.
24:2 And when she has departed out of his house, she may go and be another man's [wife]. 24:3 And if the latter husband hates her, and writes her a bill of divorce, and gives it in her hand, and sends her out of his house; or if the latter husband dies, who took her to be his wife; 24:4 her former husband, who sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after she's defiled; for that is disgusting before Yahweh: and you will not cause the land to sin, which Yahweh your God gives you for an inheritance. 24:5 When a man takes a new wife, he will not go out in the host, neither will he be charged with any business: he will be free at home one year, and will cheer his wife whom he has taken. 24:6 No man will take the mill or the upper millstone for a pledge; for he takes a soul for a pledge. 24:7 If a man is found stealing a soul of his brothers of the sons of Israel, and he deals with him as a slave, or sells him; then that thief will die: so you will put away the evil from the midst of you. 24:8 Take heed in the plague of leprosy, that you observe diligently, and do according to all that the priests the Levites will teach you+: as I commanded them, so you+ will observe to do. 24:9 Remember what Yahweh your God did to Miriam, by the way as you+ came forth out of Egypt. 24:10 When you lend your fellow man any manner of loan, you will not go into his house to fetch his pledge. 24:11 You will stand outside, and the man to whom you lend will bring forth the pledge outside to you. 24:12 And if he is a poor man, you will not sleep with his pledge; 24:13 you will surely restore to him the pledge when the sun goes down, that he may sleep in his garment, and bless you: and it will be righteousness to you before Yahweh your God. 24:14 You will not oppress a hired worker who is poor and needy, whether he is of your brothers, or of your sojourners who are in your land inside your gates: 24:15 in his day you will give him his wages, neither will the sun go down on it; for he is poor, and sets his soul on it: lest he cry against you to Yahweh, and it is sin to you. 24:16 The fathers will not be put to death for the sons, neither will the sons be put to death for the fathers: every man will be put to death for his own sin. 24:17 You will not wrest the justice [due] to the fatherless sojourner, nor take the widow's raiment for a pledge; 24:18 but you will remember that you were a slave in Egypt, and Yahweh your God redeemed you from there: therefore I command you to do this thing. 24:19 When you reap your harvest in your field, and have forgot a sheaf in the field, you will not go again to fetch it: it will be for the sojourner, for the fatherless, and for the widow; that Yahweh your God may bless you in all the work of your hands. 24:20 When you beat your olive tree, you will not go over the boughs again: it will be for the sojourner, for the fatherless, and for the widow. 24:21 When you gather [the grapes of] your vineyard, you will not glean it after you: it will be for the sojourner, for the fatherless, and for the widow. 24:22 And you will remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt: therefore I command you to do this thing. |
