When a man
hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come
to pass that she find no favour in his eyes,
because he hath found some uncleanness in her:
then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and
give it in her hand, and send her out of his
house.
02 And when she is departed out of his house, she
may go and be another man's wife.
03 And if the latter husband hate her, and write
her a bill of divorcement, and giveth it in her
hand, and sendeth her out of his house; or if the
latter husband die, which took her to be his
wife;
04 Her former husband, which sent her away, may
not take her again to be his wife, after that she
is defiled; for that is abomination before the
Lord: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin,
which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an
inheritance.
05 When a man hath taken a new wife, he shall not
go out to war, neither shall he be charged with
any business: but he shall be free at home one
year, and shall cheer up his wife which he hath
taken.
06 No man shall take the nether or the upper
millstone to pledge: for he taketh a man's life
to pledge.
07 If a man be found stealing any of his brethren
of the children of Israel, and maketh merchandise
of him, or selleth him; then that thief shall
die; and thou shalt put evil away from among you.
08 Take heed in the plague of leprosy, that thou
observe diligently, and do according to all that
the priests the Levites shall teach you: as I
commanded them, so ye shall observe to do.
09 Remember what the Lord thy God did unto Miriam
by the way, after that ye were come forth out of
Egypt.
10 When thou dost lend thy brother any thing,
thou shalt not go into his house to fetch his
pledge.
11 Thou shalt stand abroad, and the man to whom
thou dost lend shall bring out the pledge abroad
unto thee.

12 And if the man be poor, thou
shalt not sleep with his pledge:
13 In any case thou shalt deliver him the pledge
again when the sun goeth down, that he may sleep
in his own raiment, and bless thee: and it shall
be righteousness unto thee before the Lord thy
God.
14 Thou shalt not oppress an hired servant that
is poor and needy, whether he be of thy brethren,
or of thy strangers that are in thy land within
thy gates:
15 At his day thou shalt give him his hire,
neither shall the sun go down upon it; for he is
poor, and setteth his heart upon it: lest he cry
against thee unto the Lord, and it be sin unto
thee.
16 The 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.
17 Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of the
stranger, nor of the fatherless; nor take a
widow's raiment to pledge:
18 But thou shalt remember that thou wast a
bondman in Egypt, and the Lord thy God redeemed
thee thence: therefore I command thee to do this
thing.
19 When thou cuttest down thine harvest in thy
field, and hast forgot a sheaf in the field, thou
shalt not go again to fetch it: it shall be for
the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the
widow: that the Lord thy God may bless thee in
all the work of thine hands.
20 When thou beatest thine olive tree, thou shalt
not go over the boughs again: it shall be for the
stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
21 When thou gatherest the grapes of thy
vineyard, thou shalt not glean it afterward: it
shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless,
and for the widow.
22 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a
bondman in the land of Egypt: therefore I command
thee to do this thing.
