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