Deuteronomy 24

5 And if any one should have recently taken a wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall any thing be laid upon him; he shall be bLit. guiltless.free in his house; for one year he shall cheer his wife whom he has taken.

6 Thou shalt not take for a pledge the under millstone, nor the upper millstone; for cGr. this man.he who does so takes life for a pledge. 7 And if a man should be caught stealing dGr. a soul.one of his brethren of the children of Israel, and having overcome him he should sell him, that thief shall die; so shalt thou remove that evil one from yourselves. 8 Take heed to thyself in regard of the plague of leprosy: thou shalt take great heed to do according to all the law, which the priests the Levites shall report to you; take heed to do, as I have charged you. 9 Remember all that the Lord thy God did to Mariam in the way, when ye were going out of Egypt.

10 If thy neighbour owe thee a debt, any debt whatsoever, thou shalt not go into his house to take his pledge: 11 thou shalt stand without, and the man who is in thy debt shall bring the pledge out to thee. 12 And if the man be poor, thou shalt not sleep with his pledge. 13 Thou shalt surely restore his pledge at sunset, and he shall sleep in his garment, and he shall bless thee; and it shall be eie. mercy shewn by thee.mercy to thee before the Lord thy God. 14 Thou shalt not unjustly withhold the wages of the poor and needy of thy brethren, or of the strangers who are in thy cities. 15 Thou shalt pay him his wages the same day, the sun shall not go down upon it, because he is poor and he trusts in it; and he shall cry against thee to the Lord, and it shall be sin in thee. 16 The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, and the sons shall not be put to death for the fathers; every one shall fGr. die in his own sin.be put to death for his own sin. 17 Thou shalt not wrest the judgment of the stranger and the fatherless, and widow; thou shalt not take the widow's garment for a pledge. 18 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt, and the Lord thy God redeemed thee from thence; therefore I charge thee to do this thing.

19 And when thou shalt have reaped corn in thy field, and shalt have forgotten a sheaf in thy field, thou shalt not return to take it; it shall be for the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow, that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the works of thy hands. 20 And if thou shouldest gather thine olives, thou shalt not return to collect the remainder; it shall be for the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, and thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt; therefore I command thee to do this thing. 21 And whensoever thou shalt gather the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not glean what thou hast left; it shall be for the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow: 22 and thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt; therefore I command thee to do this thing.
