God's New Revelations

The Fifth Book of Moses: Deuteronomy

Literal Standard Version :: World English Bible Catholic

- Chapter 24 -

(Matthew 5:31–32; Luke 16:18)
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;
2
when she has gone out of his house, and has gone and been another man’s,
3
and 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,
4
her 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.
5
When 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.

Additional Laws

6
No one takes millstones and rider in pledge, for it [is one’s] life he is taking in pledge.
7
When 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.
8
Take 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;
9
remember that which your God YHWH has done to Miriam in the way, in your coming out of Egypt.
10
When you lift up a debt of anything on your brother, you do not go into his house to obtain his pledge;
11
you stand at the outside, and the man on whom you are lifting [it] up is bringing out the pledge to you at the outside.
12
And if he is a poor man, you do not lie down with his pledge;
13
you 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.
14
You do not oppress a hired worker, poor and needy, of your brothers or of your sojourner who is in your land within your gates;
15
you 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.
16
Fathers 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.
17
You do not turn aside the judgment of a fatherless sojourner, nor take the garment of a widow in pledge;
18
and 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.
19
When 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.
20
When you beat your olive, you do not examine the branch behind you; it is for the sojourner, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
21
When you cut your vineyard, you do not glean behind you; it is for the sojourner, for the fatherless, and for the widow;
22
and you have remembered that you have been a servant in the land of Egypt; therefore I am commanding you to do this thing.”
(Matthew 5:31–32; Luke 16:18)
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 the LORD. You shall not cause the land to sin, which the LORD 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.

Additional Laws

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 the LORD 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 the LORD 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 the LORD, 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 the LORD 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 the LORD 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.
