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.

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.

Deuteronomy · Chapter 26
And it shall be, when thou
art come in unto the land which 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) thy Elohim giveth thee
for an inheritance, and possessest it, and dwellest therein;
That thou shalt take of the first of all the fruit of the earth, which thou shalt bring of thy land that 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) thy Elohim giveth thee, and shalt put
it in a basket, and shalt go unto the place which 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) thy Elohim shall choose to place his name there.
And thou shalt go unto the kohen that shall be in those days, and say unto him, I profess this day unto 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) thy Elohim, that I am come unto the country which 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) sware unto our fathers for to give us.
And the kohen shall take the basket out of thine hand, and set it down before the altar of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) thy Elohim.
And thou shalt speak and say before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) thy Elohim, A Syrian ready to perish
was my father, and he went down into Mitsrayim, and sojourned there with a few, and became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous:
And the Egyptians evil entreated us, and afflicted us, and laid upon us hard bondage:
And when we cried unto 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) Elohim of our fathers, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) heard our voice, and looked on our affliction, and our labour, and our oppression:
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) brought us forth out of Mitsrayim with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terribleness, and with signs, and with wonders:
And he hath brought us into this place, and hath given us this land,
even a land that floweth with milk and honey.
And now, behold, I have brought the firstfruits of the land, which thou, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), hast given me. And thou shalt set it before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) thy Elohim, and worship before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) thy Elohim:
And thou shalt rejoice in every good
thing which 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) thy Elohim hath given unto thee, and unto thine house, thou, and the Levite, and the stranger that
is among you.
When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tithes of thine increase the third year,
which is the year of tithing, and hast given
it unto the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat within thy gates, and be filled;
Then thou shalt say before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) thy Elohim, I have brought away the hallowed things out of
mine house, and also have given them unto the Levite, and unto the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all thy mitsvot which thou hast commanded me: I have not transgressed thy mitsvot, neither have I forgotten
them:
I have not eaten thereof in my mourning, neither have I taken away
ought thereof for
any unclean
use, nor given
ought thereof for the dead:
but I have hearkened to the voice of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) my Elohim,
and have done according to all that thou hast commanded me.
Look down from thy holy habitation, from shamayim, and bless thy people Yisra'el, and the land which thou hast given us, as thou swarest unto our fathers, a land that floweth with milk and honey.
This day 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) thy Elohim hath commanded thee to do these statutes and judgments: thou shalt therefore keep and do them with all thine heart, and with all thy nephesh.
Thou hast avouched 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) this day to be thy Elohim, and to walk in his ways, and to keep his statutes, and his mitsvot, and his judgments, and to hearken unto his voice:
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) hath avouched thee this day to be his peculiar people, as he hath promised thee, and that
thou shouldest keep all his mitsvot;
And to make thee high above all nations which he hath made, in praise, and in name, and in honour; and that thou mayest be an holy people unto 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) thy Elohim, as he hath spoken.
