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. |
