must keep and do, according as thou hast vowed unto the LORD thy God a
freewill offering which thou hast spoken with thy mouth. When thou
comest into thy neighbour's vineyard, thou mayst eat grapes thy
bellyful at thine own pleasure: but thou shalt put none in thy bag.
When thou goest into thy neighbour's corn, thou mayst pluck the ears
with thine hand, but thou mayst not move a sicle unto thy neighbour's
corn.
Chapter .xxiiij.
When a man hath taken a wife and married her, if she find no favour in
his eyes, because he hath spied some uncleanness in her: Then let him
write her a bill of divorcement and put it in her hand and send her out
of his house. If when she is departed out of his house, she go and be
another man's wife and the second husband hate her and write her a
letter of divorcement and put it in her hand and send her out of his
house, or if the second man die which took her to wife; Her first man
which sent her away may not take her again to be his wife, inasmuch as
she is defiled. For that is abomination in the sight of the LORD: that
thou defile not the land with sin, which the LORD thy God giveth thee
to inherit. When a man taketh a new wife, he shall not go a warfare
neither shall be charged with any business: but shall be free at home
one year and rejoice with his wife which he hath taken. No man shall
take the nether or the upper millstone to pledge, for then he taketh a
man's life to pledge. If any man be found stealing any of his brethren
the children of Israel, and maketh chevisance of him or selleth him,
the thief shall die. And thou shalt put evil away from thee. Take heed
to thyself as concerning the plague of leprosy, that thou observe
diligently to do according to all that the priests the Levites shall
teach thee, as I commanded them so ye shall observe to do. Remember
what the LORD thy God did unto Miriam by the way, after that ye were
come out of Egypt. If thou lend thy brother any manner succour, thou
shalt not go into his house to fetch a pledge: but shalt stond without
and the man to whom thou lendest, shall bring thee the pledge out at
the door. Furthermore if it be a poor body, go not to sleep with his
pledge: but deliver him the pledge again by that the son go down, and
let him sleep in his own raiment and bless thee. And it shall be
righteousness unto thee, before the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not
defraud an hired servant that is needy and poor, whether he be of thy
brethren or a stranger that is in thy land within thy cities. Give him
his hire the same day, and let not the son go down thereon. For he is
needy and therewith sustaineth his life, lest he cry against thee unto
the LORD and it be sin unto thee. The fathers shall not die for the
children nor the children for the fathers: but every man shall die for
his own sin. Hinder not the right of the stranger nor of the
fatherless, nor take widow's raiment to pledge. But remember that thou
wast a servant in Egypt, and how the LORD thy God delivered thee
thence.
