MLV(i)
1 When a man takes a wife and marries her, then it will be, if she finds no favor in his eyes, because he has found some unseemly thing in her, that he will write her a document of divorcement and give it in her hand and send her out of his house.
2 And when she has departed out of his house, she may go and be another man's. 3 And if the latter husband dislikes her and writes her a document 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, 4 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 Jehovah and you will not cause the land to sin, which Jehovah your God gives you for an inheritance.
5 When a man takes a new wife, he will not go out in the army, neither will he be charged with any business. He will be free at home one year and will cheer his wife whom he has taken.
6 No man will take the mill or the upper millstone to pledge, for he takes life to pledge.
7 If a man is found stealing any of his brothers of the sons of Israel and he deals with him harshly, or sells him, then that thief will die. So will you put away the evil from the midst of you.
8 Take heed in the disease of leprosy, that you observe diligently and do according to all that the priests the Levites will teach you*. As I commanded them, so you* will observe to do. 9 Remember what Jehovah your God did to Miriam by the way as you* came forth out of Egypt.
10 When you do lend your neighbor any manner of loan, you will not go into his house to fetch his pledge. 11 You will stand outside and the man to whom you lend will bring forth the pledge outside to you.
12 And if he is a poor man, you will not sleep with his pledge. 13 You will surely restore to him the pledge when the sun goes down, that he may sleep in his garment and bless you. And it will be righteousness to you before Jehovah your God.
14 You will not oppress a hired servant who is poor and needy, whether he is of your brothers, or of your travelers that are in your land within your gates. 15 You will give him his hire in his day, neither will the sun go down upon it, for he is poor and sets his heart upon it, lest he cry against you to Jehovah and it is sin to you.
16 The fathers will not be put to death for the sons, neither will the sons be put to death for the fathers. Every man will be put to death for his own sin.
17 You will not distort the justice due to the traveler, or to the fatherless, nor take the widow's garments to pledge, 18 but you will remember that you were a bondman in Egypt and Jehovah your God redeemed you from there. Therefore I command you to do this thing.
19 When you reap your harvest in your field and have forgotten a sheaf in the field, you will not go again to fetch it. It will be for the traveler, for the fatherless and for the widow, that Jehovah your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.
20 When you beat your olive tree, you will not go over the branches again. It will be for the traveler, for the fatherless and for the widow.
21 When you gather of your vineyard, you will not glean it behind you. It will be for the traveler, for the fatherless and for the widow.
22 And you will remember that you were a bondman in the land of Egypt. Therefore I command you to do this thing.
2 And when she has departed out of his house, she may go and be another man's. 3 And if the latter husband dislikes her and writes her a document 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, 4 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 Jehovah and you will not cause the land to sin, which Jehovah your God gives you for an inheritance.
