* When a man has taken a wife , and married her , and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes , because he has 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 . * And when she is departed out of his house , she may go and be another man 's wife . * And if the latter husband hate her , and write her a bill of divorcement , and gives it in her hand , and sends her out of his house ; or if the latter husband die , which took her to be his wife ; * 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 you shall not cause the land to sin , which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance . * When a man has 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 has taken . * No man shall take the nether or the upper millstone to pledge : for he takes a man 's life to pledge . * If a man be found stealing any of his brethren of the children of Israel , and makes merchandise of him , or sells him ; then that thief shall die ; and you shall put evil away from among you . * Take heed in the plague of leprosy , that you observe diligently , and do according to all that the priests the Levites shall teach you : as I commanded them , so all of you shall observe to do . * Remember what the LORD your God did unto Miriam by the way , after that all of you were come forth out of Egypt . * When you do lend your brother any thing , you shall not go into his house to fetch his pledge . * You shall stand abroad , and the man to whom you do lend shall bring out the pledge abroad unto you . * And if the man be poor , you shall not sleep with his pledge : * In any case you shall deliver him the pledge again when the sun goes down , that he may sleep in his own raiment , and bless you : and it shall be righteousness unto you before the LORD your God . * You shall not oppress an hired servant that is poor and needy , whether he be of your brethren , or of your strangers that are in your land within your gates : * At his day you shall give him his hire , neither shall the sun go down upon it ; for he is poor , and sets his heart upon it : lest he cry against you unto the LORD , and it be sin unto you . * 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 . * You shall not pervert the judgment of the stranger , nor of the fatherless ; nor take a widow 's raiment to pledge : * But you shall remember that you were a bondman in Egypt , and the LORD your God redeemed you thence : therefore I command you to do this thing . * When you cut down yours harvest in your field , and have forgot a sheaf in the field , you shall not go again 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 work of yours hands . * When you beat yours olive tree , you shall not go over the boughs again : it shall be for the stranger , for the fatherless , and for the widow . * 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 . * And you shall remember that you were a bondman in the land of Egypt : therefore I command you to do this thing .
