[1] When a man takes a wife and marries her, then it shall be, if she finds no favor in his eyes because he has found some unseemly thing in her, that he shall write her a certificate of divorce, put it in her hand, and send her out of his house. [2] When she has departed out of his house, she may go and be another man’s wife. [3] If the latter husband hates her, and writes her a certificate of divorce, 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] her former husband, who sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife after she is defiled; for that would be an abomination to Yahweh. You shall not cause the land to sin, which Yahweh your God gives you for an inheritance. [5] When a man takes a new wife, he shall not go out in the army, neither shall he be assigned any business. He shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer his wife whom he has taken. [6] No man shall take the mill or the upper millstone as a pledge, for he takes a life in pledge. [7] If a man is found stealing any of his brothers of the children of Israel, and he deals with him as a slave, or sells him, then that thief shall die. So you shall remove the evil from among you. [8] Be careful in the plague of leprosy, that you observe diligently and do according to all that the Levitical priests teach you. As I commanded them, so you shall observe to do. [9] Remember what Yahweh your God did to Miriam, by the way as you came out of Egypt. [10] When you lend your neighbor any kind of loan, you shall not go into his house to get his pledge. [11] You shall stand outside, and the man to whom you lend shall bring the pledge outside to you. [12] If he is a poor man, you shall not sleep with his pledge. [13] You shall surely restore to him the pledge when the sun goes down, that he may sleep in his garment and bless you. It shall be righteousness to you before Yahweh your God. [14] You shall not oppress a hired servant who is poor and needy, whether he is one of your brothers or one of the foreigners who are in your land within your gates. [15] In his day you shall give him his wages, neither shall the sun go down on it, for he is poor and sets his heart on it, lest he cry against you to Yahweh, and it be sin to you. [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. [17] You shall not deprive the foreigner or the fatherless of justice, nor take a widow’s clothing in pledge; [18] but you shall remember that you were a slave in Egypt, and Yahweh your God redeemed you there. Therefore I command you to do this thing. [19] When you reap your harvest in your field, and have forgotten a sheaf in the field, you shall not go again to get it. It shall be for the foreigner, for the fatherless, and for the widow, that Yahweh your God may bless you in all the work of your hands. [20] When you beat your olive tree, you shall not go over the boughs again. It shall be for the foreigner, for the fatherless, and for the widow. [21] When you harvest your vineyard, you shall not glean it after yourselves. It shall be for the foreigner, for the fatherless, and for the widow. [22] You shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt. Therefore I command you to do this thing.
King James Version
[1] When a man H376 hath taken H3947 (QalImpf) a wife, H802 and married H1166 (QalPerf) her, and it come to pass that she find H4672 (QalImpf) no favour H2580 in his eyes, H5869 because he hath found H4672 (QalPerf) some H1697 uncleanness H6172§ in her: then let him write H3789 (QalPerf) her a bill H5612 of divorcement, H3748§ and give H5414 (QalPerf) it in her hand, H3027 and send H7971 (PielPerf) her out of his house. H1004 [2] And when she is departed out H3318 (QalPerf) of his house, H1004 she may go H1980 (QalPerf) and be another H312 man’s H376 wife. [3] And if the latter H314 husband H376 hate H8130 (QalPerf) her, and write H3789 (QalPerf) her a bill H5612 of divorcement, H3748 and giveth H5414 (QalPerf) it in her hand, H3027 and sendeth H7971 (PielPerf) her out of his house; H1004 or if the latter H314 husband H376 die, H4191 (QalImpf) which took H3947 (QalPerf) her to be his wife; H802 [4] her former H7223 husband, H1167 which sent her away, H7971 (PielPerf) may H3201 (QalImpf) not take H3947 (QalInf) her again H7725 (QalInf) to be his wife, H802 after H310 that she is defiled; H2930 (HotpPerf) for that is abomination H8441 before H6440 the Lord: H3068 and thou shalt not cause the land H776 to sin, H2398 (HiphImpf) which the Lord H3068 thy God H430 giveth H5414 (QalActPtc) thee for an inheritance. H5159 [5] When a man H376 hath taken H3947 (QalImpf) a new H2319 wife, H802 he shall not go out H3318 (QalImpf) to war, H6635 neither shall he be charged H5674 (QalImpf)§ with any business: H1697 but he shall be free H5355 at home H1004 one H259 year, H8141 and shall cheer up H8055 (PielPerf) his wife H802 which he hath taken. H3947 (QalPerf) [6] No man shall take H2254 the nether H7347 or the upper millstone H7393 to pledge: H2254 (QalImpf) for he taketh H2254 a man’s life H5315 to pledge. H2254 (QalActPtc) [7] If a man H376 be found H4672 (NiphImpf) stealing H1589 (QalActPtc) any H5315 of his brethren H251 of the children H1121 of Israel, H3478 and maketh merchandise H6014 (HithPerf) of him, or selleth H4376 (QalPerf) him; then that thief H1590 shall die; H4191 (QalPerf) and thou shalt put H1197 evil H7451 away H1197 (PielPerf) from among H7130 you. [8] Take heed H8104 (NiphImpv) in the plague H5061 of leprosy, H6883 that thou observe H8104 (QalInf) diligently, H3966 and do H6213 (QalInf) according to all that the priests H3548 the Levites H3881 shall teach H3384 (HiphImpf) you: as I commanded H6680 (PielPerf) them, so ye shall observe H8104 (QalImpf) to do. H6213 (QalInf) [9] Remember H2142 (QalInf) what the Lord H3068 thy God H430 did H6213 (QalPerf) unto Miriam H4813 by the way, H1870 after that ye were come forth H3318 (QalInf) out of Egypt. H4714 [10] When thou dost lend H5383 (HiphImpf) thy brother H7453 any H3972 thing, H4859§ thou shalt not go H935 (QalImpf) into his house H1004 to fetch H5670 (QalInf) his pledge. H5667 [11] Thou shalt stand H5975 (QalImpf) abroad, H2351 and the man H376 to whom thou dost lend H5383 (QalActPtc) shall bring out H3318 (HiphImpf) the pledge H5667 abroad H2351 unto thee. [12] And if the man H376 be poor, H6041 thou shalt not sleep H7901 (QalImpf) with his pledge: H5667 [13] in any case H7725 (HiphInf) thou shalt deliver H7725 him the pledge H5667 again H7725 (HiphImpf) when the sun H8121 goeth down, H935 (QalInf) that he may sleep H7901 (QalPerf) in his own raiment, H8008 and bless H1288 (PielPerf) thee: and it shall be righteousness H6666 unto thee before H6440 the Lord H3068 thy God. H430 [14] Thou shalt not oppress H6231 (QalImpf) an hired servant H7916 that is poor H6041 and needy, H34 whether he be of thy brethren, H251 or of thy strangers H1616 that are in thy land H776 within thy gates: H8179 [15] at his day H3117 thou shalt give H5414 (QalImpf) him his hire, H7939 neither shall the sun H8121 go down H935 (QalImpf) upon it; for he is poor, H6041 and setteth H5375 (QalActPtc) his heart H5315 upon it:§ lest he cry H7121 (QalImpf) against thee unto the Lord, H3068 and it be sin H2399 unto thee. [16] The fathers H1 shall not be put to death H4191 (HophImpf) for the children, H1121 neither shall the children H1121 be put to death H4191 (HophImpf) for the fathers: H1 every man H376 shall be put to death H4191 (HophImpf) for his own sin. H2399 [17] Thou shalt not pervert H5186 (HiphImpf) the judgment H4941 of the stranger, H1616 nor of the fatherless; H3490 nor take H2254 a widow’s H490 raiment H899 to pledge: H2254 (QalImpf) [18] but thou shalt remember H2142 (QalPerf) that thou wast a bondman H5650 in Egypt, H4714 and the Lord H3068 thy God H430 redeemed H6299 (QalImpf) thee thence: therefore I command H6680 (PielPtc) thee to do H6213 (QalInf) this thing. H1697 [19] When thou cuttest down H7114 (QalImpf) thine harvest H7105 in thy field, H7704 and hast forgot H7911 (QalPerf) a sheaf H6016 in the field, H7704 thou shalt not go again H7725 (QalImpf) to fetch H3947 (QalInf) it: it shall be for the stranger, H1616 for the fatherless, H3490 and for the widow: H490 that the Lord H3068 thy God H430 may bless H1288 (PielImpf) thee in all the work H4639 of thine hands. H3027 [20] When thou beatest H2251 (QalImpf) thine olive tree, H2132 thou shalt not go over the boughs H6286 (PielImpf) again: H310 it shall be for the stranger, H1616 for the fatherless, H3490 and for the widow. H490 [21] When thou gatherest H1219 (QalImpf) the grapes of thy vineyard, H3754 thou shalt not glean H5953 (PoelImpf) it afterward:§ H310 it shall be for the stranger, H1616 for the fatherless, H3490 and for the widow. H490 [22] And thou shalt remember H2142 (QalPerf) that thou wast a bondman H5650 in the land H776 of Egypt: H4714 therefore I command H6680 (PielPtc) thee to do H6213 (QalInf) this thing. H1697
