24:1 And if any one should take a wife, and
should dwell with her, then it shall come to pass if she should not have
found favour before him, because he has found some unbecoming thing in her,
that he shall write for her a bill of divorcement, and give it into her
hands, and he shall send her away out of his house.
24:2 And [if] she should go away and be married to another man;
24:3 and the last husband should hate her, and write for her a bill of
divorcement; and should give it into her hands, and send her away out of his
house, and the last husband should die, who took her to himself for a wife;
24:4 the former husband who sent her away shall not be able to return and
take her to himself for a wife, after she has been defiled; because it is an
abomination before Yehovah thy Elohim, and ye shall not defile the land, which
Yehovah thy Elohim gives thee to inherit.
24:5 And if any one should have recently taken a wife, he shall not go out
to war, neither shall any thing be laid upon him; he shall be free in his
house; for one year he shall cheer his wife whom he has taken.
24:6 Thou shalt not take for a pledge the under millstone, nor the upper
millstone; for he who does so takes life for a pledge.
24:7 And if a man should be caught stealing one of his brethren of the
children of Israel, and having overcome him he should sell him, that thief
shall die; so shalt thou remove that evil one from yourselves.
24:8 Take heed to thyself in [regard of] the plague of leprosy: thou shalt
take great heed to do according to all the law, which the priests the
Levites shall report to you; take heed to do, as I have charged you.
24:9 Remember all that Yehovah thy Elohim did to Mariam in the way, when ye
were going out of Egypt.
24:10 If thy neighbour owe thee a debt, any debt whatsoever, thou shalt not
go into his house to take his pledge:
24:11 thou shalt stand without, and the man who is in thy debt shall bring
the pledge out to thee.
24:12 And if the man be poor, thou shalt not sleep with his pledge.
24:13 Thou shalt surely restore his pledge at sunset, and he shall sleep in
his garment, and he shall bless thee; and it shall be mercy to thee before
Yehovah thy Elohim.
24:14 Thou shalt not unjustly withhold the wages of the poor and needy of
thy brethren, r of the strangers who are in thy cities.
24:15 Thou shalt pay him his wages the same day, the sun shall not go down
upon it, because he is poor and he trusts in it; and he shall cry against
thee to Yehovah, and it shall be sin in thee.
24:16 The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, and the sons
shall not be put to death for the fathers; every one shall be put to death
for his own sin.
24:17 Thou shalt not wrest the judgment of the stranger and the fatherless,
and widow; thou shalt not take the widow's garment for a pledge.
24:18 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt,
and Yehovah thy Elohim redeemed thee from thence; therefore I charge thee to
do this thing.
24:19 And when thou shalt have reaped corn in thy field, and shalt have
forgotten a sheaf in thy field, thou shalt not return to take it; it shall
be for the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow, that Yehovah thy Elohim
may bless thee in all the works of thy hands.
24:20 And if thou shouldest gather thine olives, thou shalt not return to
collect the remainder; it shall be for the stranger, and the fatherless, and
the widow, and thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of
Egypt; therefore I command thee to do this thing.
24:21 And when soever thou shalt gather the grapes of thy vineyard, thou
shalt not glean what thou hast left; it shall be for the stranger, and the
orphan, and the widow:
24:22 and thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt;
therefore I command thee to do this thing. |
24:1 When a man hath taken a wife, and
married her, and it come to pass that she find no favor 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.
24:2 And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another
man's wife.
24:3 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;
24:4 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
Yehovah: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which Yehovah thy Elohim
giveth thee for an inheritance.
24:5 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.

taketh a man's life to pledge.

Israel, and maketh merchandise of him, or selleth him; then that thief shall
die; and thou shalt put evil away from among you.
24:8 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.
24:9 Remember what Yehovah thy Elohim did unto Miriam by the way, after that
ye were come forth out of Egypt.
24:10 When thou dost lend thy brother any thing, thou shalt not go into his
house to fetch his pledge.
24:11 Thou shalt stand abroad, and the man to whom thou dost lend shall
bring out the pledge abroad unto thee.
24:12 And if the man be poor, thou shalt not sleep with his pledge:
24:13 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 Yehovah thy Elohim.
24:14 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:
24:15 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 Yehovah, and it be sin unto thee.
24:16 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.

Yehovah thy Elohim redeemed thee thence: therefore I command thee to do this
thing.
24:19 When thou cuttest down thine harvest in thy field, and hast forgot a

stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow: that Yehovah thy Elohim may
bless thee in all the work of thine hands.

again: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.

it afterward: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the
widow.

therefore I command thee to do this thing.
