Deuteronomy 24
Peshitta Holy Bible Translated Par ▾ 
1"And if a man will take a wife and he will have sexual intercourse with her, if she has not found love before him because he has found in her a matter of disgrace, he shall write to her a writing of divorce and he shall give it to her and he shall send her away. 2And she shall depart from his house, and if she will go and she will belong to another man 3And the other man will hate her and he will write her a writing of divorce and will give it to her and will send her away from his house, or if the other man who took her dies 4It is illegal for her first husband who divorced her to take her again after she has been defiled, because that is defilement before LORD JEHOVAH, and you shall not sin against the land that LORD JEHOVAH your God gives to you as an inheritance.

5And when a man will take a new wife, he shall not go forth in the army and he shall not go to any matter, but he shall be in his house one year and he shall rejoice with the wife whom he has taken.

6Do not take a millstone or its upper millstone as security, for it is a soul you grieve.

7And if a man of the children of Israel will be found to steal a soul from his brother of the children of Israel to make a profit by him and he will sell him, that man shall certainly be killed, and so uproot the evil from among you.

8Observe the plague of leprosy and be greatly aware and do as the Priests and the Levites taught you; as I have commanded them they shall keep and they shall do. 9And remember that which LORD JEHOVAH your God did to Maryam on the way when you went out from Egypt.

10And if your neighbor will owe you the debt of something, you shall not enter into his house to take his security. 11But stand in the street, and that man who owes you shall bring the security out to you to the street. 12And if the man is poor you shall not sleep with his cloak: 13But return his security to him when the sun has set and he shall sleep in his cloak, and he will bless you and you shall have righteousness before LORD JEHOVAH your God.

14You shall not cheat a poor man of his wages or the afflicted of your brethren or the settler who is in your towns: 15But after a day give him his pay and the sun shall not set upon it, because he is poor, and for the sake of his pay he hands himself over to you, lest he will cry out against you before LORD JEHOVAH and sin will be upon you.

16The parents will not die for the sake of their children and children will not die for the sake of their parents, but a man shall die for his sins.

17You shall not divert the justice of a settler or of an orphan and do not take the cloak of a widow as security: 18And remember that you were a Servant in Egypt and LORD JEHOVAH your God saved you from there; because of this, I command you and I say to you that you shall perform this word.

19And when you reap the harvest of your field and you forget a sheaf, you shall not return to take it, but it shall be for the settler and for the orphan and for the widow, that LORD JEHOVAH your God may bless you in all the work of your hands. 20And when you beat your olive trees, you shall not search over behind you, but it shall be for the settler and for the orphan and for the widow.

21And whenever you pick your grapes, you shall not glean after yourselves, but it shall be for the settler and the orphan and the widow. 22And remember that you were a Servant in Egypt; because of this, I command you to make this response.”
