| 24 | Deuteronomy | ||
| 1 | "When a man takes a wife and marries her, if then she finds no favour 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 | |
| 2 | and if she goes and becomes another man's wife, | ||
| 3 | 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, | ||
| 4 | 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 Yahweh, and you shall not bring guilt upon the land which Yahweh your God gives you for an inheritance. | ||
| 5 | "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 | |
| 6 | "No man shall take a mill or an upper millstone in pledge; for he would be taking a life in pledge. | ||
| 7 | "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. | ||
| 8 | "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. | ||
| 9 | Remember what Yahweh your God did to Miriam on the way as you came forth out of Egypt. | ||
| 10 | "When you make your neighbour a loan of any sort, you shall not go into his house to fetch his pledge. | ||
| 11 | You shall stand outside, and the man to whom you make the loan shall bring the pledge out to you. | ||
| 12 | And if he is a poor man, you shall not sleep in his pledge; | ||
| 13 | 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 Yahweh your God. | ||
| 14 | "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; | ||
| 15 | 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 Yahweh, and it be sin in you. | ||
| 16 | "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. | ||
| 17 | "You shall not pervert the justice due to the sojourner or to the fatherless, or take a widow's garment in pledge; | ||
| 18 | but you shall remember that you were a slave in Egypt and Yahweh your God redeemed you from there; therefore I command you to do this. | ||
| 19 | "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 Yahweh your God may bless you in all the work of your hands. | ||
| 20 | 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. | ||
| 21 | 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. | ||
| 22 | You shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt; therefore I command you to do this. | ||
