Deuteronomy 24

CLV(i) 1 When a man takes a wife and possesses her, and it comes to be that she should not find favor in his eyes, because he has found in her the nakedness of anything, then he would write for her a scroll of divorce, give it into her hand and send her away from his house. 2 When she goes forth from his house, goes and becomes another man's, 3 and the man (the latter one) dislikes her, then he would write for her a scroll of divorce, give it into her hand and send her away from his house. Or when the man should die (the latter one who took her to himself as a wife), 4 then her possessor (the former one who had sent her away) shall not be able to reverse himself to take her back to become his wife after she had had herself defiled, for that is an abhorrence before Yahweh. You shall not bring about sin in the land that Yahweh your Elohim is giving to you as an allotment. 5 When a man takes a new wife, he shall neither go forth with the militia host, nor shall any matter of duty pass on to him. He shall be exempt for his house one year and rejoice with his wife whom he has taken. 6 No one shall take both millstones or just the rider in pledge, for he would be taking the soul in pledge. 7 In case a man should be found stealing a soul from his brothers of the sons of Israel, and he makes a chattel of him or sells him, then that thief must die. Thus you will eradicate the evil from among you. 8 Be on guard in a contagion of leprosy to observe especially and to do according to all the law which the priests, the Levites, shall direct you. Just as I have instructed them shall you observe to do. 9 You are to remember what Yahweh your Elohim did to Miriam along the way in your going forth from Egypt. 10 In case you should lend your associate a loan of anything, you shall not enter his house to secure his pawn. 11 You shall stand outside, and the man to whom you are lending shall bring forth the pawn to you outside. 12 And should he be a humble man, you shall not lie down in his pawn of garment. 13 You shall restore, yea restore to him the pawn when the sun sets, that he may lie down in his restored garment, and he will bless you, and it shall become for you an act of righteousness before Yahweh your Elohim. 14 You shall not extort from a humble and needy hireling, whether from your brothers or from your sojourner who is in your land, within your gates. 15 On his day you shall give him his hire, and the sun shall not set on it ( for he is humble, and to it he is lifting his soul) that he may not call against you to Yahweh, and it would become a sin on your part. 16 Fathers shall not be put to death on account of their sons' sins, nor shall sons be put to death on account of their fathers' sins. Each man shall be put to death for his own sin. 17 You shall not turn aside the judgment of the sojourner or orphan; and you shall not take the garment of a widow as a pledge. 18 Remember that you had become a servant in Egypt, and Yahweh your Elohim ransomed you from there; therefore I am instructing you to obey this word. 19 When you reap your harvest in your field and you have forgotten a sheaf in the field, you shall not return to take it in. For the sojourner, for the orphan and for the widow shall it be, so that Yahweh your Elohim may bless you in every work of your hands. 20 When you beat your olive tree, you shalt not go over the foliage after yourself. For the sojourner, for the orphan and for the widow shall it be. 21 When you pick the grapes of your vineyard, you shall not clean glean it after yourself. For the sojourner, for the orphan and for the widow shall it be. 22 Remember that you had become a servant in the country of Egypt; therefore I am instructing you to obey this word.
