Chapter 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. |
2
|
And when she is departed out of his house, she may go
and be another man's wife. |
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; |
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 LORD: and thou shalt not
cause the land to sin, which the LORD thy God giveth thee
for an inheritance. |
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. |
6
|
No man shall take the nether 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 maketh merchandise of him, or selleth
him; then that thief shall die; and thou shalt put evil
away from among you. |
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 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. |
