Deuteronomy · Chapter 23
He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH).
A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH); even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH).
An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter into the congregation of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH); even to their tenth generation shall they not enter into the congregation of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) for ever:
Because they met you not with bread and with water in the way, when ye came forth out of Mitsrayim; and because they hired against thee Balaam the son of Beor of Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse thee.
Nevertheless 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) thy Elohim would not hearken unto Balaam; but 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) thy Elohim turned the curse into a blessing unto thee, because 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) thy Elohim loved thee.
Thou shalt not seek their peace nor their prosperity all thy days for ever.
Thou shalt not abhor an Edomite; for he
is thy brother: thou shalt not abhor an Egyptian; because thou wast a stranger in his land.
The children that are begotten of them shall enter into the congregation of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) in their third generation.
When the host goeth forth against thine enemies, then keep thee from every wicked thing.
If there be among you any man, that is not clean by reason of uncleanness that chanceth him by night, then shall he go abroad out of the camp, he shall not come within the camp:
But it shall be, when evening cometh on, he shall wash
himself
with water: and when the sun is down, he shall come into the camp
again.
Thou shalt have a place also without the camp, whither thou shalt go forth abroad:
And thou shalt have a paddle upon thy weapon; and it shall be, when thou wilt ease thyself abroad, thou shalt dig therewith, and shalt turn back and cover that which cometh from thee:
For 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) thy Elohim walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee; therefore shall thy camp be holy: that he see no unclean thing in thee, and turn away from thee.
Thou shalt not deliver unto his master the servant which is escaped from his master unto thee:
He shall dwell with thee,
even among you, in that place which he shall choose in one of thy gates, where it liketh him best: thou shalt not oppress him.
There shall be no whore of the daughters of Yisra'el, nor a sodomite of the sons of Yisra'el.
Thou shalt not bring the hire of a whore, or the price of a dog, into the house of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) thy Elohim for any vow: for even both these
are
abomination unto 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) thy Elohim.
Thou shalt not lend upon usury to thy brother; usury of money, usury of victuals, usury of any thing that is lent upon usury:
Unto a stranger thou mayest lend upon usury; but unto thy brother thou shalt not lend upon usury: that 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) thy Elohim may bless thee in all that thou settest thine hand to in the land whither thou goest to possess it.
When thou shalt vow a vow unto 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) thy Elohim, thou shalt not slack to pay it: for 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) thy Elohim will surely require it of thee; and it would be sin in thee.
But if thou shalt forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in thee.
That which is gone out of thy lips thou shalt keep and perform;
even a freewill offering, according as thou hast vowed unto 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) thy Elohim, which thou hast promised with thy mouth.
When thou comest into thy neighbour’s vineyard, then thou mayest eat grapes thy fill at thine own pleasure; but thou shalt not put
any
in thy vessel.
When thou comest into the standing corn of thy neighbour, then thou mayest pluck the ears with thine hand; but thou shalt not move a sickle unto thy neighbour’s standing corn.

Devarim24
Deuteronomy · Chapter 24
When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give
it in her hand, and send her out of his house.
And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man’s
wife.
And
if the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of divorcement, and giveth
it in her hand, and sendeth her out of his house; or if the latter husband die, which took her to
be his wife;
Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that
is abomination before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH): and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) thy Elohim giveth thee
for an inheritance.
When a man hath taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall he be charged with any business:
but he shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer up his wife which he hath taken.
No man shall take the nether or the upper millstone to pledge: for he taketh
a man’s life to pledge.
If a man be found stealing any of his brethren of the children of Yisra'el, and maketh merchandise of him, or selleth him; then that thief shall die; and thou shalt put evil away from among you.
Take heed in the plague of leprosy, that thou observe diligently, and do according to all that the kohanim the Levites shall teach you: as I commanded them, so ye shall observe to do.
Remember what 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) thy Elohim did unto Miriam by the way, after that ye were come forth out of Mitsrayim.
When thou dost lend thy brother any thing, thou shalt not go into his house to fetch his pledge.
Thou shalt stand abroad, and the man to whom thou dost lend shall bring out the pledge abroad unto thee.
And if the man
be poor, thou shalt not sleep with his pledge:
In any case thou shalt deliver him the pledge again when the sun goeth down, that he may sleep in his own raiment, and bless thee: and it shall be righteousness unto thee before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) thy Elohim.
Thou shalt not oppress an hired servant
that is poor and needy,
whether he be of thy brethren, or of thy strangers that
are in thy land within thy gates:
At his day thou shalt give
him his hire, neither shall the sun go down upon it; for he
is poor, and setteth his heart upon it: lest he cry against thee unto 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), and it be sin unto thee.
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.
Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of the stranger,
nor
of the fatherless; nor take a widow’s raiment to pledge:
But thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Mitsrayim, and 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) thy Elohim redeemed thee thence: therefore I command thee to do this thing.
When thou cuttest down thine harvest in thy field, and hast forgot a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go again to fetch it: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow: that 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) thy Elohim may bless thee in all the work of thine hands.
When thou beatest thine olive tree, thou shalt not go over the boughs again: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
When thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not glean
it afterward: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Mitsrayim: therefore I command thee to do this thing.

Devarim25
Deuteronomy · Chapter 25
If there be a controversy between men, and they come unto judgment, that
the judges may judge them; then they shall justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked.
And it shall be, if the wicked man
be worthy to be beaten, that the judge shall cause him to lie down, and to be beaten before his face, according to his fault, by a certain number.
Forty stripes he may give him,
and not exceed: lest,
if he should exceed, and beat him above these with many stripes, then thy brother should seem vile unto thee.
Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out
the corn.
If brethren dwell together, and one of them die, and have no child, the wife of the dead shall not marry without unto a stranger: her husband’s brother shall go in unto her, and take her to him to wife, and perform the duty of an husband’s brother unto her.
And it shall be,
that the firstborn which she beareth shall succeed in the name of his brother
which is dead, that his name be not put out of Yisra'el.
And if the man like not to take his brother’s wife, then let his brother’s wife go up to the gate unto the elders, and say, My husband’s brother refuseth to raise up unto his brother a name in Yisra'el, he will not perform the duty of my husband’s brother.
Then the elders of his city shall call him, and speak unto him: and
if he stand
to it, and say, I like not to take her;
Then shall his brother’s wife come unto him in the presence of the elders, and loose his shoe from off his foot, and spit in his face, and shall answer and say, So shall it be done unto that man that will not build up his brother’s house.
And his name shall be called in Yisra'el, The house of him that hath his shoe loosed.
When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draweth near for to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the secrets:
Then thou shalt cut off her hand, thine eye shall not pity
her.
Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights, a great and a small.
Thou shalt not have in thine house divers measures, a great and a small.
But thou shalt have a perfect and just weight, a perfect and just measure shalt thou have: that thy days may be lengthened in the land which 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) thy Elohim giveth thee.
For all that do such things,
and all that do unrighteously,
are an abomination unto 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) thy Elohim.
Remember what Amalek did unto thee by the way, when ye were come forth out of Mitsrayim;
How he met thee by the way, and smote the hindmost of thee,
even
all
that were feeble behind thee, when thou
wast
faint and weary; and he feared not Elohim.
Therefore it shall be, when 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) thy Elohim hath given thee rest from all thine enemies round about, in the land which 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) thy Elohim giveth thee
for an inheritance to possess it,
that thou shalt blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under shamayim; thou shalt not forget
it.
