1“When a man takes a wife and has married her, and it has been, if she does not find grace in his eyes (for he has found nakedness in her of anything), then he has written a writing of divorce for her, and given [it] into her hand, and sent her out of his house;

2when she has gone out of his house, and has gone and been another man’s,

3and the latter man has hated her, and written a writing of divorce for her, and given [it] into her hand, and sent her out of his house, or when the latter man dies, who has taken her to himself for a wife,

4her former husband who sent her away is not able to return to take her to be to him for a wife, after that she has become defiled; for it [is] an abomination before YHWH, and you do not cause the land to sin which your God YHWH is giving to you [for] an inheritance.

5When a man takes a new wife, he does not go out into the host, and [one] does not pass over to him for anything; he is free at his own house [for] one year, and his wife, whom he has taken, he has made glad.

6No one takes millstones and rider in pledge, for it [is one’s] life he is taking in pledge.

7When a man is found stealing a person from his brothers, from the sons of Israel, and has tyrannized over him and sold him, then that thief has died, and you have put away evil out of your midst.

8Take heed in the plague of leprosy, to watch greatly, and to do according to all that the priests, the Levites, teach you; you observe to do as I have commanded them;

9remember that which your God YHWH has done to Miriam in the way, in your coming out of Egypt.

10When you lift up a debt of anything on your brother, you do not go into his house to obtain his pledge;

11you stand at the outside, and the man on whom you are lifting [it] up is bringing out the pledge to you at the outside.

12And if he is a poor man, you do not lie down with his pledge;

13you certainly give back the pledge to him at the going in of the sun, and he has lain down in his own raiment and has blessed you; and it is righteousness to you before your God YHWH.

14You do not oppress a hired worker, poor and needy, of your brothers or of your sojourner who is in your land within your gates;

15you give his hire in his day, and the sun does not go in on it, for he [is] poor, and he is supporting his life on it, lest he cries against you to YHWH, and it has been sin in you.

16Fathers are not put to death for sons, and sons are not put to death for fathers—they are each put to death for his own sin.

17You do not turn aside the judgment of a fatherless sojourner, nor take the garment of a widow in pledge;

18and you have remembered that you have been a servant in Egypt, and your God YHWH ransoms you from there; therefore I am commanding you to do this thing.

19When you reap your harvest in your field, and have forgotten a sheaf in a field, you do not return to take it; it is for the sojourner, for the fatherless, and for the widow, so that your God YHWH blesses you in all the work of your hands.

20When you beat your olive, you do not examine the branch behind you; it is for the sojourner, for the fatherless, and for the widow.

21When you cut your vineyard, you do not glean behind you; it is for the sojourner, for the fatherless, and for the widow;

22and you have remembered that you have been a servant in the land of Egypt; therefore I am commanding you to do this thing.”
