1
When a man has taken a wife and married her, and it comes to pass that she finds no favour in his eyes because he has found some indecency in her; then let him write her a bill of divorce and give
it in her hand and send her out of his house.
2
And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man’s
wife.
3
And
if the latter husband hates her and writes her a bill of divorce and gives
it in her hand and sends her out of his house, or if the latter husband who took her
to be his wife dies,
4
her former husband, who sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after she is defiled, for that
is abomination before the LORD; and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which the LORD thy God gives thee
for an inheritance.
5
When a man has 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 whom he has taken.
6
No man shall take the lower or the upper millstone for a pledge, for he takes
a man’s life to pledge.
7
When a man is found stealing any of his brethren of the sons of Israel and making merchandise of him or selling him, then that thief shall die; and thou shalt put the evil away from among you.
