* When a man takes a wife , and marries her , then it shall be , if she finds no favor in his eyes , because he has found some unseemly thing in her , that he shall write her a bill of divorcement , and give it in her hand , and send her ou * And when she has departed out of his house , she may go and be another man 's . * And if the latter husband dislikes her , and writes her a bill of divorcement , and gives it in her hand , and sends her out of his house , or if the latter husband dies , who took her to be his wife , * her former husband , who sent her away , may not take her again to be his wife after she is defiled . For that is abomination before LORD , and thou shall not cause the land to sin , which LORD thy God gives thee for an inheritance . * When a man takes a new wife , he shall not go out in the army , neither shall he be charged with any business . He shall be free at home one year , and shall cheer his wife whom he has taken . * No man shall take the mill or the upper millstone to pledge , for he takes life to pledge . * If a man is found stealing any of his brothers of the sons of Israel , and he deals with him as a slave , or sells him , then that thief shall die . So shall thou put away the evil from the midst of thee . * Take heed in the disease 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 . * Remember what LORD thy God did to Miriam by the way as ye came forth out of Egypt . * When thou do lend thy neighbor any manner of loan , thou shall not go into his house to fetch his pledge . * Thou shall stand outside , and the man to whom thou lend shall bring forth the pledge outside to thee . * And if he is a poor man , thou shall not sleep with his pledge . * Thou shall surely restore to him the pledge when the sun goes down , that he may sleep in his garment , and bless thee . And it shall be righteousness to thee before LORD thy God . * Thou shall not oppress a hired servant who is poor and needy , whether he be of thy brothers , or of thy sojourners that are in thy land within thy gates . * Thou shall give him his hire in his day , neither shall the sun go down upon it , for he is poor , and sets his heart upon it , lest he cry against thee to LORD , and it be sin to thee . * The fathers shall not be put to death for the sons , neither shall the sons be put to death for the fathers . Every man shall be put to death for his own sin . * Thou shall not distort the justice [due ] to the sojourner , [or ] to the fatherless , nor take the widow 's raiment to pledge , * but thou shall remember that thou were a bondman in Egypt , and LORD thy God redeemed thee from there . Therefore I command thee to do this thing . * When thou reap thy harvest in thy field , and have forgotten a sheaf in the field , thou shall not go again to fetch it . It shall be for the sojourner , for the fatherless , and for the widow , that LORD thy God may bless thee in all th * When thou beat thine olive tree , thou shall not go over the boughs again . It shall be for the sojourner , for the fatherless , and for the widow . * When thou gather of thy vineyard , thou shall not glean it behind thee . It shall be for the sojourner , for the fatherless , and for the widow . * And thou shall remember that thou were a bondman in the land of Egypt . Therefore I command thee to do this thing .
