NASB Bible

Deuteronomy 24

Law of Divorce

1

"When a man takes a wife and marries her, and it happens  1that she finds no favor in his eyes because he has found some  aindecency in her, and  bhe writes her a certificate of divorce and puts it in her hand and sends her out from his house,

2

and she leaves his house and goes and becomes another man's wife,

3

and if the latter husband  1turns against her and writes her a certificate of divorce and puts it in her hand and sends her out of his house, or if the latter husband dies who took her to be his wife,

4

then her  aformer husband who sent her away is not allowed to take her again to be his wife, since she has been defiled; for that is an abomination before the LORD, and you shall not bring sin on the land which the LORD your God gives you as an inheritance.

5

aWhen a man takes a new wife, he shall not go out with the army nor be charged with any duty; he shall be free at home one year and shall  bgive happiness to his wife whom he has taken.

Sundry Laws

6

"No one shall take a handmill or an upper millstone in pledge, for he would be taking a life in pledge.

7

aIf a man is  1caught kidnapping any of his  2countrymen of the sons of Israel, and he deals with him violently or sells him, then that thief shall die; so you shall purge the evil from among you.

8

aBe careful against  1an infection of leprosy, that you diligently observe and do according to all that the Levitical priests teach you; as I have commanded them, so you shall be careful to do.

9

"Remember what the LORD your God did  ato Miriam on the way as you came out of Egypt.

10

aWhen you make your neighbor a loan of any sort, you shall not enter his house to take his pledge.

11

"You shall remain outside, and the man to whom you make the loan shall bring the pledge out to you.

12

"If he is a poor man, you shall not sleep with his pledge.

13

aWhen the sun goes down you shall surely return the pledge to him, that he may sleep in his cloak and bless you; and  bit will be righteousness for you before the LORD your God.

14

aYou shall not oppress a hired servant who is poor and needy, whether he is one of your  1countrymen or one of your aliens who is in your land in your  2towns.

15

aYou shall give him his wages on his day  1before the sun sets, for he is poor and sets his  2heart on it; so that  bhe will not cry against you to the LORD and it become sin in you.

16

aFathers shall not be put to death  1for their sons, nor shall sons be put to death  1for their fathers; everyone shall be put to death for his own sin.

17

aYou shall not pervert the justice  1due an alien or  2an orphan, nor  btake a widow's garment in pledge.

18

"But you shall remember that you were a slave in Egypt, and that the LORD your God redeemed you from there; therefore I am commanding you to do this thing.

19

aWhen you reap your harvest in your field and have forgotten a sheaf in the field, you shall not go back to get it; it shall be  bfor the alien, for the  1orphan, and for the widow, in order that the LORD your God  cmay bless you in all the work of your hands.

20

aWhen you beat your olive tree, you shall not go over the boughs  1again; it shall be  bfor the alien, for the  2orphan, and for the widow.

21

"When you gather the grapes of your vineyard, you shall not  1go over it again; it shall be for the alien, for the  2orphan, and for the widow.

22

"You shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt; therefore I am commanding you to do this thing.
