Chapter
24
- 24:1
- When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come
to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath
found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill
of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of
his house.
- 24:2
- And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and
be another man's wife.
- 24:3
- And if the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill
of divorcement, and giveth it in her hand, and sendeth her out
of his house; or if the latter husband die, which took her to
be his wife;
- 24:4
- Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her
again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is
abomination before the LORD: and thou shalt not cause the land
to sin, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.
- 24:5
- When a man hath taken a new wife, he shall not go out to
war, neither shall he be charged with any business: but he shall
be free at home one year, and shall cheer up his wife which
he hath taken.
- 24:6
- No man shall take the nether or the upper millstone to pledge:
for he taketh a man's life to pledge.
- 24:7
- If a man be found stealing any of his brethren of the children
of Israel, and maketh merchandise of him, or selleth him; then
that thief shall die; and thou shalt put evil away from among
you.
- 24:8
- Take heed in the plague of leprosy, that thou observe diligently,
and do according to all that the priests the Levites shall teach
you: as I commanded them, so ye shall observe to do.
- 24:9
- Remember what the LORD thy God did unto Miriam by the way,
after that ye were come forth out of Egypt.
- 24:10
- When thou dost lend thy brother any thing, thou shalt not
go into his house to fetch his pledge.
- 24:11
- Thou shalt stand abroad, and the man to whom thou dost lend
shall bring out the pledge abroad unto thee.
- 24:12
- And if the man be poor, thou shalt not sleep with his pledge:
- 24:13
- In any case thou shalt deliver him the pledge again when
the sun goeth down, that he may sleep in his own raiment, and
bless thee: and it shall be righteousness unto thee before the
LORD thy God.
- 24:14
- Thou shalt not oppress an hired servant that is poor and
needy, whether he be of thy brethren, or of thy strangers that
are in thy land within thy gates:
- 24:15
- At his day thou shalt give him his hire, neither shall the
sun go down upon it; for he is poor, and setteth his heart upon
it: lest he cry against thee unto the LORD, and it be sin unto
thee.
- 24:16
- 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.
- 24:17
- Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of the stranger, nor
of the fatherless; nor take a widow's raiment to pledge:
- 24:18
- But thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt,
and the LORD thy God redeemed thee thence: therefore I command
thee to do this thing.
- 24:19
- When thou cuttest down thine harvest in thy field, and hast
forgot a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go again to fetch
it: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for
the widow: that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work
of thine hands.
- 24:20
- When thou beatest thine olive tree, thou shalt not go over
the boughs again: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless,
and for the widow.
- 24:21
- When thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt
not glean it afterward: it shall be for the stranger, for the
fatherless, and for the widow.
- 24:22
- And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land
of Egypt: therefore I command thee to do this thing.
