1
When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it shall come to pass that she findeth no favor 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.
2
And when she hath departed from his house, she may go and be another man's [wife].
3
And [if] the latter husband shall hate her, and write her a bill of divorcement, and give [it] in her hand, and send her out of his house; or if the latter husband shall die, who took her [to be] his wife;
4
Her former husband who 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.
5
When a man hath newly taken a 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 his wife which he hath taken.
6
No man shall take the nether or the upper millstone for a pledge: for he taketh [a man's] life for a pledge.
7
If a man shall be found stealing any of his brethren of the children of Israel, and shall make merchandise of him, or sell him; then that thief shall die; and thou shalt remove evil from among you.
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.
9
Remember what the LORD thy God did to Miriam by the way, after that ye come forth from Egypt.
10
When thou dost lend thy brother any thing, thou shalt not go into his house to take his pledge:
11
Thou shalt stand abroad, and the man to whom thou dost lend shall bring out the pledge abroad to thee:
