24If a man marries a woman and then it happens that he no longer likes her because he has found something wrong with her, he may give her divorce papers, put them in her hand, and send her off.H376H3947H802H1166H4672H2580H5869H4672H1697H6172H3789H5612H3748H5414H3027H7971H1004 2After she leaves, if she becomes another man's wifeH3318H1004H1980H312H376 3and he also comes to hate her and this second husband also gives her divorce papers, puts them in her hand, and sends her off, or if he should die,H314H376H8130H3789H5612H3748H5414H3027H7971H1004H314H376H4191H3947H802 4then the first husband who divorced her can't marry her again. She has made herself ritually unclean, and her remarriage would be an abomination in the Presence of GOD and defile the land with sin, this land that GOD, your God, is giving you as an inheritance.H7223H1167H7971H3201H3947H7725H802H310H2930H8441H6440H3068H776H2398H3068H430H5414H5159 5When a man takes a new wife, he is not to go out with the army or be given any business or work duties. He gets one year off simply to be at home making his wife happy.H376H3947H2319H802H3318H6635H5674H1697H5355H1004H259H8141H8055H802H3947 6Don't seize a handmill or an upper millstone as collateral for a loan. You'd be seizing someone's very life.H2254H7347H7393H2254H2254H5315H2254 7If a man is caught kidnapping one of his kinsmen, someone of the People of Israel, to enslave or sell him, the kidnapper must die. Purge that evil from among you.H376H4672H1589H5315H251H1121H3478H6014H4376H1590H4191H1197H7451H1197H7130 8Warning! If a serious skin disease breaks out, follow exactly the rules set down by the Levitical priests. Follow them precisely as I commanded them.H8104H5061H6883H8104H3966H6213H3548H3881H3384H6680H8104H6213 9Don't forget what GOD, your God, did to Miriam on your way out of Egypt.H2142H3068H430H6213H4813H1870H3318H4714 10When you make a loan of any kind to your neighbor, don't enter his house to claim his pledge.H5383H7453H3972H4859H935H1004H5670H5667 11Wait outside. Let the man to whom you made the pledge bring the pledge to you outside.H5975H2351H376H5383H3318H5667H2351 12And if he is destitute, don't use his cloak as a bedroll;H376H6041H7901H5667 13return it to him at nightfall so that he can sleep in his cloak and bless you. In the sight of GOD, your God, that will be viewed as a righteous act.H7725H7725H5667H7725H8121H935H7901H8008H1288H6666H6440H3068H430 14Don't abuse a laborer who is destitute and needy, whether he is a fellow Israelite living in your land and in your city.H6231H7916H6041H34H251H1616H776H8179 15Pay him at the end of each workday; he's living from hand to mouth and needs it now. If you hold back his pay, he'll protest to GOD and you'll have sin on your books.H3117H5414H7939H8121H935H6041H5375H5315H7121H3068H2399 16Parents shall not be put to death for their children, nor children for their parents. Each person shall be put to death for his own sin.H1H4191H1121H1121H4191H1H376H4191H2399 17Make sure foreigners and orphans get their just rights. Don't take the cloak of a widow as security for a loan.H5186H4941H1616H3490H2254H490H899H2254 18Don't ever forget that you were once slaves in Egypt and GOD, your God, got you out of there. I command you: Do what I'm telling you.H2142H5650H4714H3068H430H6299H6680H6213H1697 19When you harvest your grain and forget a sheaf back in the field, don't go back and get it; leave it for the foreigner, the orphan, and the widow so that GOD, your God, will bless you in all your work.H7114H7105H7704H7911H6016H7704H7725H3947H1616H3490H490H3068H430H1288H4639H3027 20When you shake the olives off your trees, don't go back over the branches and strip them bare—what's left is for the foreigner, the orphan, and the widow.H2251H2132H6286H310H1616H3490H490 21And when you cut the grapes in your vineyard, don't take every last grape—leave a few for the foreigner, the orphan, and the widow.H1219H3754H5953H310H1616H3490H490 22Don't ever forget that you were a slave in Egypt. I command you: Do what I'm telling you.H2142H5650H776H4714H6680H6213H1697
