ASV_Strong : Deuteronomy 24
1. When a man[H376] taketh[H3947] a wife[H802], and marrieth[H1166] her[H4672], then it shall be, if she find no favor[H2580] in his eyes[H5869], because he hath found[H4672] some[H1697] unseemly[H6172] thing in her[H3789], that he shall write her a bill[H5612] of divorcement[H3748], and give[H5414] it in her hand[H3027], and send[H7971] her out of his house[H1004].
2. And when she is departed out[H3318] of his house[H1004], she may go[H1980] and be another[H312] man[H376]'s wife.
3. And if the latter[H314] husband[H376] hate[H8130] her[H3789], and write her a bill[H5612] of divorcement[H3748], and give[H5414] it in her hand[H3027], and send[H7971] her out of his house[H1004]; or if the latter[H314] husband[H376] die[H4191], who took[H3947] her to be his wife[H802];
4. her former[H7223] husband[H1167], who sent her away[H7971], may[H3201] not take[H3947] her again[H7725] to be his wife[H802], after[H310] that she is defiled[H2930]; for that is abomination[H8441] before[H6440] Jehovah[H3068]: and thou shalt not cause the land[H776] to sin[H2398], which Jehovah[H3068] thy God[H430] giveth[H5414] thee for an inheritance[H5159].
5. When a man[H376] taketh[H3947] a new[H2319] wife[H802], he shall not go out[H3318] in the host[H6635], neither shall he be charged[H5674] with any business[H1697]: he shall be free[H5355] at home[H1004] one[H259] year[H8141], and shall cheer[H8055] his wife[H802] whom he hath taken[H3947].
6. No man shall take[H2254] the mill[H7347] or the upper millstone[H7393] to pledge[H2254]; for he taketh[H2254] a man[H5315]'s life to pledge[H2254].
7. If a man[H376] be found[H4672] stealing[H1589] any[H5315] of his brethren[H251] of the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478], and he deal[H6014] with him as a slave[H4376], or sell him[H1590]; then that thief shall die[H4191]: so shalt thou put[H1197] away[H1197] the evil[H7451] from the midst of thee[H7130].
8. Take heed[H8104] in the plague[H5061] of leprosy[H6883], that thou observe[H8104] diligently[H3966], and do[H6213] according to all that the priests[H3548] the Levites[H3881] shall teach[H3384] you[H6680]: as I commanded them[H8104], so ye shall observe to do[H6213].
9. Remember[H2142] what Jehovah[H3068] thy God[H430] did[H6213] unto Miriam[H4813], by the way[H1870] as ye came forth[H3318] out of Egypt[H4714].
10. When thou dost lend[H5383] thy neighbor[H7453] any[H3972] manner[H4859] of loan[H935], thou shalt not go into his house[H1004] to fetch[H5670] his pledge[H5667].
11. Thou shalt stand[H5975] without[H2351], and the man[H376] to whom thou dost lend[H5383] shall bring forth[H3318] the pledge[H5667] without unto thee[H2351].
12. And if he be a poor[H6041] man[H376], thou shalt not sleep[H7901] with his pledge[H5667];
13. thou shalt surely[H7725] restore[H7725] to him[H7725] the pledge[H5667] when the sun[H8121] goeth down[H935], that he may sleep[H7901] in his garment[H8008], and bless[H1288] thee[H6666]: and it shall be righteousness unto thee before[H6440] Jehovah[H3068] thy God[H430].
14. Thou shalt not oppress[H6231] a hired servant[H7916] that is poor[H6041] and needy[H34], whether he be of thy brethren[H251], or of thy sojourners[H1616] that are in thy land[H776] within thy gates[H8179]:
15. in his day[H3117] thou shalt give[H5414] him his hire[H7939], neither shall the sun[H8121] go down[H935] upon it[H6041]; for he is poor, and setteth[H5375] his heart[H5315] upon it[H7121]: lest he cry against thee unto Jehovah[H3068], and it be sin unto thee[H2399].
16. The fathers[H1] shall not be put to death[H4191] for the children[H1121], neither shall the children[H1121] be put to death[H4191] for the fathers[H1]: every man[H376] shall be put to death[H4191] for his own sin[H2399].
17. Thou shalt not wrest[H5186] the justice[H4941] due to the sojourner[H1616], or to the fatherless[H3490], nor take[H2254] the widow[H490]'s raiment[H899] to pledge[H2254];
18. but thou shalt remember[H2142] that thou wast a bondman[H5650] in Egypt[H4714], and Jehovah[H3068] thy God[H430] redeemed[H6299] thee thence[H6680]: therefore I command thee to do[H6213] this thing[H1697].
19. When thou reapest[H7114] thy harvest[H7105] in thy field[H7704], and hast forgot[H7911] a sheaf[H6016] in the field[H7704], thou shalt not go again[H7725] to fetch[H3947] it[H1616]: it shall be for the sojourner, for the fatherless[H3490], and for the widow[H490]; that Jehovah[H3068] thy God[H430] may bless[H1288] thee in all the work[H4639] of thy hands[H3027].
20. When thou beatest[H2251] thine olive-tree[H2132], thou shalt not go over the boughs[H6286] again[H310]: it shall be for the sojourner[H1616], for the fatherless[H3490], and for the widow[H490].
21. When thou gatherest[H1219] the grapes of thy vineyard[H3754], thou shalt not glean[H5953] it after[H310] thee[H1616]: it shall be for the sojourner, for the fatherless[H3490], and for the widow[H490].
22. And thou shalt remember[H2142] that thou wast a bondman[H5650] in the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714]: therefore I command[H6680] thee to do[H6213] this thing[H1697].
