Law Concerning Divorce

¹“When a ⚓man takes a wife and marries her, and it happens that she finds no favor in his eyes because he has found some uncleanness in her, and he writes her a ⚓certificate of divorce, puts it in her hand, and sends her out of his house, ²when she has departed from his house, and goes and becomes another man’s wife, ³if the latter husband detests her and writes her a certificate of divorce, puts it in her hand, and sends her out of his house, or if the latter husband dies who took her as his wife, ⁴⚓then her former husband who divorced her must not take her back to be his wife after she has been defiled; for that is an abomination before the Lord, and you shall not bring sin on the land which the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance.

Miscellaneous Laws

⁵⚓“When a man has taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war or be charged with any business; he shall be free at home one year, and ⚓bring happiness to his wife whom he has taken.
⁶“No man shall take the lower or the upper millstone in pledge, for he takes one’s living in pledge.
⁷“If a man is ⚓found kidnapping any of his brethren of the children of Israel, and mistreats him or sells him, then that kidnapper shall die; ⚓and you shall put away the evil from among you.
⁸“Take heed in ⚓an outbreak of leprosy, that you carefully observe and do according to all that the priests, the Levites, shall teach you; just as I commanded them, so you shall be careful to do. ⁹⚓Remember what the Lord your God did ⚓to Miriam on the way when you came out of Egypt!
¹⁰“When you ⚓lend your brother anything, you shall not go into his house to get his pledge. ¹¹You shall stand outside, and the man to whom you lend shall bring the pledge out to you. ¹²And if the man is poor, you shall not keep his pledge overnight. ¹³⚓You shall in any case return the pledge to him again when the sun goes down, that he may sleep in his own garment and ⚓bless you; and ⚓it shall be righteousness to you before the Lord your God.
¹⁴“You shall not ⚓oppress a hired servant who is poor and needy, whether one of your brethren or one of the aliens who is in your land within your gates. ¹⁵Each day ⚓you shall give him his wages, and not let the sun go down on it, for he is poor and has set his heart on it; ⚓lest he cry out against you to the Lord, and it be sin to you.
¹⁶⚓“Fathers shall not be put to death for their children, nor shall children be put to death for their fathers; a person shall be put to death for his own sin.
¹⁷⚓“You shall not pervert justice due the stranger or the fatherless, ⚓nor take a widow’s garment as a pledge. ¹⁸But ⚓you shall remember that you were a slave in Egypt, and the Lord your God redeemed you from there; therefore I command you to do this thing.
¹⁹⚓“When you reap your harvest in your field, and forget a sheaf in the field, you shall not go back to get it; it shall be for the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that the Lord your God may ⚓bless you in all the work of your hands. ²⁰When you beat your olive trees, you shall not go over the boughs again; it shall be for the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow. ²¹When you gather the grapes of your vineyard, you shall not glean it afterward; it shall be for the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow. ²²And you shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt; therefore I command you to do this thing.
