New International Version

International Standard Version

1If a man marries a woman who becomes displeasing to him because he finds something indecent about her, and he writes her a certificate of divorce, gives it to her and sends her from his house,

1"If a man chooses to enter into marriage with a woman, but she finds herself displeasing to him because he has found something objectionable about her, he must draw up divorce papers, hand them to her, and then send her out of his house.

2and if after she leaves his house she becomes the wife of another man,

2If she goes out from his house, becomes the wife of another man,

3and her second husband dislikes her and writes her a certificate of divorce, gives it to her and sends her from his house, or if he dies,

3and this second husband dislikes her, he, also, must draw up divorce papers, hand them to her, and then send her away from his house. Should the second husband die,

4then her first husband, who divorced her, is not allowed to marry her again after she has been defiled. That would be detestable in the eyes of the LORD. Do not bring sin upon the land the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance.

4her first husband who married her and divorced her earlier must not remarry her, because she was defiled, since this is detestable to the LORD. Don't defile the land that the LORD your God is about to give you as a possession.

5If a man has recently married, he must not be sent to war or have any other duty laid on him. For one year he is to be free to stay at home and bring happiness to the wife he has married.

5"When a man is newly married, he must not be sent out to war or have a related duty placed on him. Let him stay home for one year and be happy with his wife whom he has married.

6Do not take a pair of millstones--not even the upper one--as security for a debt, because that would be taking a person's livelihood as security.

6"Don't take a pair of millstones, especially the upper millstone, as collateral for a loan, because this means taking a man's livelihood.

7If someone is caught kidnapping a fellow Israelite and treating or selling them as a slave, the kidnapper must die. You must purge the evil from among you.

7"If a man is found kidnapping his relative, a fellow Israeli, and mistreats or sells him, that kidnapper must die. By doing this, you will remove this evil from among you.

8In cases of defiling skin diseases, be very careful to do exactly as the Levitical priests instruct you. You must follow carefully what I have commanded them.

8"In cases of leprosy, be very careful to observe exactly what the Levitical priests instructed you. Carefully follow what I have commanded them.

9Remember what the LORD your God did to Miriam along the way after you came out of Egypt.

9Remember what the LORD your God did to Miriam along the way as you were coming out of Egypt."

10When you make a loan of any kind to your neighbor, do not go into their house to get what is offered to you as a pledge.

10"When you loan something to your neighbor, don't enter his house to seize what he offered as collateral.

11Stay outside and let the neighbor to whom you are making the loan bring the pledge out to you.

11Stay outside and let the man to whom you made the loan bring it out to you.

12If the neighbor is poor, do not go to sleep with their pledge in your possession.

12If he is a poor man, don't go to sleep with his collateral in your possession.

13Return their cloak by sunset so that your neighbor may sleep in it. Then they will thank you, and it will be regarded as a righteous act in the sight of the LORD your God.

13Be sure to return his garment to him at sunset so that he may sleep with it, and he will bless you. It will be a righteous deed in the presence of the LORD your God.

14Do not take advantage of a hired worker who is poor and needy, whether that worker is a fellow Israelite or a foreigner residing in one of your towns.

14Don't take advantage of a hired person who is poor and needy, whether he's your fellow citizen or a foreigner who lives in your city.

15Pay them their wages each day before sunset, because they are poor and are counting on it. Otherwise they may cry to the LORD against you, and you will be guilty of sin.

15Pay his wages that same day before the sun sets, because he is poor and his livelihood depends on it. Otherwise, he may cry out to the LORD against you, and you will incur guilt."

16Parents are not to be put to death for their children, nor children put to death for their parents; each will die for their own sin.

16"Fathers must not be put to death on account of their children's sin; nor shall children die on account of their fathers' sin. Each person is to be put to death for his own sin.

17Do not deprive the foreigner or the fatherless of justice, or take the cloak of the widow as a pledge.

17"Don't deny justice to a foreigner or to an orphan, nor take a widow's garment as collateral for a loan.

18Remember that you were slaves in Egypt and the LORD your God redeemed you from there. That is why I command you to do this.

18Remember to observe this because you were slaves in Egypt, and the LORD your God redeemed you from there. That is why I am commanding you to do this.

19When you are harvesting in your field and you overlook a sheaf, do not go back to get it. Leave it for the foreigner, the fatherless and the widow, so that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.

19"When you are reaping in the field, and you overlook a sheaf, don't return to get it. Let it remain for the foreigner, the orphan, or the widow, in order that the LORD your God may bless everything you undertake.

20When you beat the olives from your trees, do not go over the branches a second time. Leave what remains for the foreigner, the fatherless and the widow.
