[1]IF a man takes a wife, and lies with her, and if she finds no favor in his eyes, because he has found some evidence of open prostitution in her; then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it to her, and send her out of his house.
[2]And when she has left his house, and if she goes and becomes another man's wife,
[3]And if that husband hates her, and writes her a bill of divorcement, and gives it to her, and sends her out of his house, or if that husband who took her to be his wife dies;
[4]Then her former husband, who sent her away, has no right to take her again to be his wife, after she has been defiled; for that is an abomination before the LORD; and you shall not cause the land to sin, which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance
[5]When a man takes a new wife, he shall not go out with the army, neither shall he be charged with any business; but he shall be free at his home for one year, and shall rejoice with his wife whom he has taken.
[6]No man shall take the nether or the upper millstone as a pledge; for he takes a man's life to pledge.
[7]If a man of the children of Israel is found stealing any of his brethren of the children of Israel, to make merchandise of him, or sell him; then that thief shall surely die; and you shall put evil away from among you.
[8]Take heed in the plague of leprosy, and be exceedingly careful, and do according to all that the priests and the Levites shall teach you; as I commanded them, so you shall be careful to do.
[9]Remember what the LORD your God did to Miriam on the way, after you came forth out of Egypt.
[10]If your neighbor owes you a debt, you shall not go into his house to fetch his pledge.
[11]But you shall wait in the street, and the man who is your debtor shall bring out the pledge to you.
[12]And if the man is poor, you shall not sleep with his mantle.
[13]But you shall return to him his mantle again when the sun goes down, that he may sleep in his own mantle, and bless you; and it shall be righteousness to you before the LORD your God
[14]You shall not cheat the wages of a hired laborer who is poor and needy, whether he is of your brethren or of the strangers who are in your cities;
[15]But you shall pay him his wages on the same day, neither shall the sun go down upon it; for he is poor, and it is because of his wages that he places himself at your disposal; lest he cry against you to the LORD, and it be sin against you.
[16]The fathers shall not be put to death for their children, neither shall the children be put to death for their fathers; but every man shall be put to death for his own sin.
[17]You shall not pervert the justice due to the stranger, nor to the orphan; nor take a widow's garment as a pledge;
[18]But you shall remember that you were a bondman in Egypt, and the LORD your God delivered you from there; therefore I command you to do this thing:
[19]When you reap the harvest in your field, and have forgotten a sheaf in the field, you shall not return to fetch it; it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow, that the LORD your God may bless you in all the works of your hands.
[20]When you beat your olive trees, you shall not go over the boughs again; it shall be for the stranger, for the orphan, and for the widow.
[21]When you gather the grapes of your vineyard, you shall not glean it afterward; it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
[22]And you shall remember that you were a bondman in Egypt; therefore I command you to do this thing
