Deuteronomy 24

CHAPTER 24 Social and Domestic Laws

1 And if any take a woman and should live with her, and it shall be if she should not find favor before him, for he finds in her an indecent thing, then he shall write to her [²scroll ¹a certificate of divorce], and he shall put it into her hands, and he shall send her from out of his house. 2 And going forth, should she become [²man's wife ¹another], 3 and [⁴should detest ⁵her ³husband ¹the ²last], and should write to her [²scroll ¹certificate of divorce], and he should put it into her hands, and send her from out of his house; or [⁴should die ³husband ¹her ²last] who took her to himself as wife; 4 [⁶shall not be able ³husband ¹the ²former ⁴sending ⁵her out] to return to take her to himself for a wife after her being defiled; for it is an abomination before the lord your God, and you shall not defile the land which the lord your God gives to you by lot. 5 And if any should take a wife recently, he shall not go forth to war, and not [³shall be put upon ⁴him ¹one ²thing] -- he shall be innocent in his house, [²year ¹for one] he shall make glad his wife whom he took. 6 You shall not take for security a millstone nor an upper millstone, for [³a life ¹this one ²takes] for security. 7 And if you should capture a man stealing the life of his brethren of the sons of Israel, and tyrannizing him to sell him; [³shall die ²thief ¹that]; and you shall lift away the evil from yourselves of them. 8 Take heed to yourself in the infection of leprosy! You shall guard exceedingly to do according to all the law which ever [⁵should announce ⁶to you ¹the ²priests ³the ⁴Levites], in which manner I gave charge to you to guard to do. 9 Remember as much as [³did ¹the lord ²your God] to Miriam! in the way of your going forth from Egypt. 10 And if a debt might be owed by your neighbor, any debt whatsoever, you shall not enter into his house to take for security of his item for security. 11 [²outside ¹You shall stand], and the man of whom your debt is in, he shall bring forth to you the item of security outside. 12 But if the man should be in need, you shall not go to bed with his item of security. 13 By restitution you shall give back to him his item of security towards the descent of the sun, and he shall go to bed in his garment, and he will bless you; and it will be to you charity before the lord your God. 14 You shall not disregard the wage of the needy and one lacking from your brethren, or of the foreigners, of the ones in your cities. 15 Daily you shall give him his wage, [³shall not ⁴set ¹the ²sun] upon him, for he is needy, and in it he has hope; and he shall not yell out against you to the lord, and thus it will be to you a sin. 16 [²shall not ³die ¹Fathers] for the children, and the sons shall not die for the fathers; each for his own sin shall die. 17 You shall not turn aside a judgment of a foreigner, and an orphan, and a widow; and you shall not take for security a garment of a widow. 18 And you shall remember that you were a servant in the land of Egypt, and [³ransomed ⁴you ¹the lord ²your God] from there. On account of this I give charge to you to do this thing. 19 And if you should reap your harvest in your field, and you should forget a sheaf in your field, you shall not turn back to take it; for to the poor, and to the foreigner, and to the orphan, and to the widow it will be; that [³should bless ⁴you ¹the lord ²your God] in every work of your hands. 20 And if one should pick olives, you shall not turn back to glean after you; [²to the ³foreigner ⁴and ⁵to the ⁶orphan ⁷and ⁸to the ⁹widow ¹it shall be]. 21 And whenever you should gather the vintage of your vineyard, you shall not glean the things after you; [²for the ³foreigner ⁴and ⁵the ⁶orphan ⁷and ⁸the ⁹widow ¹it will be]. 22 And you shall remember that you were a servant in the land of Egypt. On account of this I give charge to you to do this thing.
