[1]When a man taketh a wife, and marrieth her, then it cometh to pass, if she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some unseemly thing in her, that he writeth her a bill of divorcement, and giveth it in her hand, and sendeth her out of his house,
[2]And she departeth out of his house, and goeth and becometh another man's wife,
[3]And the latter husband hateth her, and writeth her a b divorcement, and giveth it in her hand, and sendeth her out of his house; or if the latter husband die, who took her to be his wife;
[4]Her former husband, who sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇; and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.
[5]When a man taketh a new wife, he shall not go out in the host, neither shall he be charged with any business; he shall be free for his house one year, and shall cheer his wife whom he hath taken.
[6]No man shall take the mill or the upper millstone to pledge; for he taketh a man's life to pledge.
[7]If a man be found stealing any of his brethren of the children of Israel, and he deal with him as a slave, and sell him; then that thief shall die; so shalt thou put away the evil from the midst of thee.
[8]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.
[9]Remember what 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 thy God did unto Miriam, by the way as ye came forth out of Egypt.
[10]When thou dost lend thy neighbour any manner of loan, thou shalt not go into his house to fetch his pledge.
[11]Thou shalt stand without, and the man to whom thou dost lend shall bring forth the pledge without unto thee.
[12]And if he be a poor man, thou shalt not sleep with his pledge;
[13]Thou shalt surely restore to him the pledge when the sun goeth down, that he may sleep in his garment, and bless thee; and it shall be righteousness unto thee before 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 thy God.
[14]Thou shalt not oppress a 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]In the same 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 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 and it be sin in 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 justice due to the stranger, or to the fatherless; nor take the widow's raiment to pledge.
[18]But thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt, and 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 thy God redeemed thee thence; therefore I command thee to do this thing.
[19]When thou reapest thy harvest in thy field, and hast forgot a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go back to fetch it; it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow; that 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 thy God may bless thee in all the work of thy 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 after thee; 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.
