and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house;
or if the latter husband die, who took her to be his wife;
024:004 her former husband, who sent her away, may not take her again
to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination
before Yahweh: and you shall not cause the land to sin,
which Yahweh your God gives you for an inheritance.
024:005 When a man takes a new wife, he shall not go out in the army,
neither shall he be charged with any business:
he shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer his wife
whom he has taken.
024:006 No man shall take the mill or the upper millstone to pledge;
for he takes [a man's] life to pledge.
024:007 If a man be found stealing any of his brothers of the children
of Israel, and he deal with him as a slave, or sell him;
then that thief shall die: so shall you put away the evil
from the midst of you.
024:008 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 you shall observe to do.
024:009 Remember what Yahweh your God did to Miriam, by the way as you
came forth out of Egypt.
024:010 When you do lend your neighbor any manner of loan, you shall
not go into his house to get his pledge.
024:011 You shall stand outside, and the man to whom you do lend shall
bring forth the pledge outside to you.
024:012 If he be a poor man, you shall not sleep with his pledge;
024:013 you shall surely restore to him the pledge when the sun
goes down, that he may sleep in his garment, and bless you:
and it shall be righteousness to you before Yahweh your God.
024:014 You shall not oppress a hired servant who is poor and needy,
whether he be of your brothers, or of your foreigners who are
in your land within your gates:
024:015 in his day you shall give him his hire, neither shall the sun
go down on it; for he is poor, and sets his heart on it:
lest he cry against you to Yahweh, and it be sin to you.
024:016 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.
024:017 You shall not wrest the justice [due] to the foreigner,
[or] to the fatherless, nor take the widow's clothing to pledge;
024:018 but you shall remember that you were a bondservant in Egypt,
and Yahweh your God redeemed you there: therefore I command
you to do this thing.
024:019 When you reap your harvest in your field, and have forgot
a sheaf in the field, you shall not go again to get it:
it shall be for the foreigner, for the fatherless, and for
the widow; that Yahweh your God may bless you in all the work
of your hands.
