24:2 And when she is departed out 3318 8804 of his house 1004, she may go 1980 8804 and be another 312 man's 376 [wife].

24:3 And [if] the latter 314 husband 376 hate 8130 8804 her, and write 3789 8804 her a bill 5612 of divorcement 3748, and giveth 5414 8804 [it] in her hand 3027, and sendeth 7971 8765 her out of his house 1004; or if the latter 314 husband 376 die 4191 8799, which took 3947 8804 her [to be] his wife 802;

24:4 Her former 7223 husband 1167, which sent her away 7971 8765, may 3201 8799 not take 3947 8800 her again 7725 8800 to be his wife 802, after 310 that she is defiled 2930 8719; for that [is] abomination 8441 before 6440 the LORD 3068: and thou shalt not cause the land 776 to sin 2398 8686, which the LORD 3068 thy God 430 giveth 5414 8802 thee [for] an inheritance 5159.

24:5 When a man 376 hath taken 3947 8799 a new 2319 wife 802, he shall not go out 3318 8799 to war 6635, neither shall he be charged 5674 8799 with any business 1697: [but] he shall be free 5355 at home 1004 one 259 year 8141, and shall cheer up 8055 8765 his wife 802 which he hath taken 3947 8804.(neither…: Heb. not any thing shall pass upon him)

24:6 No man shall take 2254 0 the nether 7347 or the upper millstone 7393 to pledge 2254 8799: for he taketh 2254 0 [a man's] life 5315 to pledge 2254 8802.

24:7 If a man 376 be found 4672 8735 stealing 1589 8802 any 5315 of his brethren 251 of the children 1121 of Israel 3478, and maketh merchandise 6014 8694 of him, or selleth 4376 8804 him; then that thief 1590 shall die 4191 8804; and thou shalt put 1197 0 evil 7451 away 1197 8765 from among 7130 you.

24:8 Take heed 8104 8734 in the plague 5061 of leprosy 6883, that thou observe 8104 8800 diligently 3966, and do 6213 8800 according to all that the priests 3548 the Levites 3881 shall teach 3384 8686 you: as I commanded 6680 8765 them, [so] ye shall observe 8104 8799 to do 6213 8800.

24:9 Remember 2142 8800 what the LORD 3068 thy God 430 did 6213 8804 unto Miriam 4813 by the way 1870, after that ye were come forth 3318 8800 out of Egypt 4714.

24:10 When thou dost lend 5383 8686 thy brother 7453 any 3972 thing 4859, thou shalt not go 935 8799 into his house 1004 to fetch 5670 8800 his pledge 5667.(lend…: Heb. lend the loan of any thing to, etc)

24:12 And if the man 376 [be] poor 6041, thou shalt not sleep 7901 8799 with his pledge 5667:

24:13 In any case 7725 8687 thou shalt deliver 7725 0 him the pledge 5667 again 7725 8686 when the sun 8121 goeth down 935 8800, that he may sleep 7901 8804 in his own raiment 8008, and bless 1288 8765 thee: and it shall be righteousness 6666 unto thee before 6440 the LORD 3068 thy God 430.

24:15 At his day 3117 thou shalt give 5414 8799 [him] his hire 7939, neither shall the sun 8121 go down 935 8799 upon it; for he [is] poor 6041, and setteth 5375 8802 his heart 5315 upon it: lest he cry 7121 8799 against thee unto the LORD 3068, and it be sin 2399 unto thee.(setteth…: Heb. lifteth his soul unto it)

24:16 The fathers 1 shall not be put to death 4191 8714 for the children 1121, neither shall the children 1121 be put to death 4191 8714 for the fathers 1: every man 376 shall be put to death 4191 8714 for his own sin 2399.

24:17 Thou shalt not pervert 5186 8686 the judgment 4941 of the stranger 1616, [nor] of the fatherless 3490; nor take 2254 0 a widow's 490 raiment 899 to pledge 2254 8799:

24:18 But thou shalt remember 2142 8804 that thou wast a bondman 5650 in Egypt 4714, and the LORD 3068 thy God 430 redeemed 6299 8799 thee thence: therefore I command 6680 8764 thee to do 6213 8800 this thing 1697.

24:20 When thou beatest 2251 8799 thine olive tree 2132, thou shalt not go over the boughs 6286 8762 again 310: it shall be for the stranger 1616, for the fatherless 3490, and for the widow 490.(go…: Heb. bough it after thee)

24:21 When thou gatherest 1219 8799 the grapes of thy vineyard 3754, thou shalt not glean 5953 8779 [it] afterward 310: it shall be for the stranger 1616, for the fatherless 3490, and for the widow 490.(afterward: Heb. after thee)

24:22 And thou shalt remember 2142 8804 that thou wast a bondman 5650 in the land 776 of Egypt 4714: therefore I command 6680 8764 thee to do 6213 8800 this thing 1697.
