Deuteronomy 24

ki-yiqqakh ish isha uve'alah vehayah im-lo timtsa-khen be'enayw ki-matsa vah ervat davar vekhatav lah sefer keritut venatan beyadah veshillekhah mibbeto

A man takes a woman [into his household] and becomes her husband. She fails to please him because he finds something obnoxious about her, and he writes her a bill of divorcement, hands it to her, and sends her away from his house;

veyatse'ah mibbeto vehalekhah vehayetah le'ish-akher

she leaves his household and becomes the wife of another man;

usene'ah ha'ish ha'akharon vekhatav lah sefer keritut venatan beyadah veshillekhah mibbeto o khi yamut ha'ish ha'akharon asher-leqakhah lo le'isha

then this latter man rejects her, writes her a bill of divorcement, hands it to her, and sends her away from his household; or the man who married her last dies.

lo-yukhal balah harishon asher-shillekhah lashuv leqakhtah lihyot lo le'isha akhare asher huttamma'ah ki-to'evah hiv lifne Adonai velo takhati et-ha'arets asher Adonai elohekha noten lekha nakhalah

Then the first husband who divorced her shall not take her to wife again, since she has been disqualified for him—for that would be abhorrent to GOD. You must not bring sin upon the land that the ETERNAL your God is giving you as a heritage.

ki-yiqqakh ish isha khadashah lo yetse batsava velo-ya'avor alayw lekhol-davar naqi yihyeh leveto shanah ekhat vesimmakh et-ishto asher-laqakh

When a man has taken a bride, he shall not go out with the army or be assigned to it for any purpose; he shall be exempt one year for the sake of his household, to give happiness to the woman he has married.

lo-yakhavol rekhayim varakhev ki-nefesh hu khovel

A hand mill or an upper millstone shall not be taken in pawn, for that would be taking someone’s life in pawn.

ki-yimmatse ish gonev nefesh me'ekhayw mibbene yisra'el vehitammer-bo umekharo umet haggannav hahu uvi'arta hara miqqirbekha

If anyone is found to have kidnapped—and then enslaved or sold—a fellow Israelite, that kidnapper shall die; thus you will sweep out evil from your midst.

hishamer benega-hatsara'at lishmor me'od vela'asot kekhol asher-yoru etkhem hakkohanim haleviyyim ka'asher tsivvitim tishmeru la'asot

In cases of a skin affection be most careful to do exactly as the levitical priests instruct you. Take care to do as I have commanded them.

zakhor et asher-asah Adonai elohekha lemiryam badderekh betsetekhem mimmitsrayim

Remember what the ETERNAL your God did to Miriam on the journey after you left Egypt.

ki-tasheh vere'akha mashat me'umah lo-tavo el-beto la'avot avoto

When you make a loan of any sort to your compatriot, you must not enter the house to seize the pledge.

bakhuts ta'amod veha'ish asher attah nosheh vo yotsi elekha et-ha'avot hakhutsah

You must remain outside, while the party to whom you made the loan brings the pledge out to you.

ve'im-ish ani hu lo tishkav ba'avoto

And if they are needy, you shall not go to sleep in their pledge;

hashev tashiv lo et-ha'avot kevo hashemesh veshakhav besalmato uverekhekka ulekha tihyeh tsedaqah lifne Adonai elohekha

you must return the pledge at sundown, that they may sleep in their cloth and bless you; and it will be to your merit before the ETERNAL your God.

lo-ta'ashoq sakhir ani ve'evyon me'akhekha o miggerekha asher be'artsekha bisharekha

You shall not abuse a needy and destitute laborer, whether a fellow Israelite or a stranger in one of the communities of your land.

beyomo titten sekharo velo-tavo alayw hashemesh ki ani hu ve'elayw hu nose et-nafsho velo-yiqra alekha el-Adonai vehayah vekha khet

You must pay out the wages due on the same day, before the sun sets, for they are needy and urgently depend on it; else a cry to GOD will be issued against you and you will incur guilt.

lo-yumetu avot al-banim uvanim lo-yumetu al-avot ish bekheto yumatu

Parents shall not be put to death for children, nor children be put to death for parents: they shall be put to death only for their own crime.

lo tatteh mishpat ger yatom velo takhavol beged almanah

You shall not subvert the rights of the stranger or the fatherless; you shall not take a widow’s garment in pawn.

vezakharta ki eved hayita bemitsrayim vayyifdekha Adonai elohekha misham al-ken anokhi metsavvekha la'asot et-haddavar hazzeh

Remember that you were a slave in Egypt and that the ETERNAL your God redeemed you from there; therefore do I enjoin you to observe this commandment.

ki tiqtsor qetsirekha vesadekha veshakhakhta omer bassadeh lo tashuv leqakhto lagger layyatom vela'almanah yihyeh lema'an yevarekhkha Adonai elohekha bekhol ma'aseh yadekha

When you reap the harvest in your field and overlook a sheaf in the field, do not turn back to get it; it shall go to the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow—in order that the ETERNAL your God may bless you in all your undertakings.

ki takhbot zetekha lo tefa'er akharekha lagger layyatom vela'almanah yihyeh

When you beat down the fruit of your olive trees, do not go over them again; that shall go to the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow.

ki tivtsor karmekha lo te'olel akharekha lagger layyatom vela'almanah yihyeh

When you gather the grapes of your vineyard, do not pick it over again; that shall go to the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow.

vezakharta ki-eved hayita be'erets mitsrayim al-ken anokhi metsavvekha la'asot et-haddavar hazzeh

Always remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt; therefore do I enjoin you to observe this commandment.
