| "When a man takes a wife and marries her, if then she finds no favor in his eyes because he has found some indecency in her, and he writes her a bill of divorce and puts it in her hand and sends her out of his house, and she departs out of his house, | Divorce and remarriage. Dt.24.1-4 |
| and if she goes and becomes another man's wife, | |
| and the latter husband dislikes her and writes her a bill of divorce and puts it in her hand and sends her out of his house, or if the latter husband dies, who took her to be his wife, | |
| then her former husband, who sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after she has been defiled; for that is an abomination before the LORD, and you shall not bring guilt upon the land which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance. | |
| "When a man is newly married, he shall not go out with the army or be charged with any business; he shall be free at home one year, to be happy with his wife whom he has taken. | Additional incidental laws. Dt.24.5-25.4 |
| "No man shall take a mill or an upper millstone in pledge; for he would be taking a life in pledge. | |
| "If a man is found stealing one of his brethren, the people of Israel, and if he treats him as a slave or sells him, then that thief shall die; so you shall purge the evil from the midst of you. | |
| "Take heed, in an attack of leprosy, to be very careful to do according to all that the Levitical priests shall direct you; as I commanded them, so you shall be careful to do. | |
| Remember what the LORD your God did to Miriam on the way as you came forth out of Egypt. | |
| "When you make your neighbor a loan of any sort, you shall not go into his house to fetch his pledge. | |
| You shall stand outside, and the man to whom you make the loan shall bring the pledge out to you. | |
| And if he is a poor man, you shall not sleep in his pledge; | |
| when the sun goes down, you shall restore to him the pledge that he may sleep in his cloak and bless you; and it shall be righteousness to you before the LORD your God. | |
| "You shall not oppress a hired servant who is poor and needy, whether he is one of your brethren or one of the sojourners who are in your land within your towns; | |
| you shall give him his hire on the day he earns it, before the sun goes down (for he is poor, and sets his heart upon it); lest he cry against you to the LORD, and it be sin in you. | |
| "The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor shall the children be put to death for the fathers; every man shall be put to death for his own sin. | |
| "You shall not pervert the justice due to the sojourner or to the fatherless, or take a widow's garment in pledge; | |
| but you shall remember that you were a slave in Egypt and the LORD your God redeemed you from there; therefore I command you to do this. | |
| "When you reap your harvest in your field, and have forgotten a sheaf in the field, you shall not go back to get it; it shall be for the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow; that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work of your hands. | |
| When you beat your olive trees, you shall not go over the boughs again; it shall be for the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow. | |
| When you gather the grapes of your vineyard, you shall not glean it afterward; it shall be for the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow. | |
| You shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt; therefore I command you to do this. | |
