1. "When a man, after marrying a woman and having relations with her, is later displeased with her because he finds in her something indecent, and therefore he writes out a bill of divorce and hands it to her, thus dismissing her from his house:
|
1. When H3588 a man H376 hath taken H3947 a wife H802 , and married H1166 her , and it come to pass H1961 that H518 she find H4672 no H3808 favor H2580 in his eyes H5869 , because H3588 he hath found H4672 some H1697 uncleanness H6172 in her : then let him write H3789 her a bill H5612 of divorcement H3748 , and give H5414 it in her hand H3027 , and send H7971 her out of his house H4480 H1004 .
|
|
2. if on leaving his house she goes and becomes the wife of another man,
|
2. And when she is departed H3318 out of his house H4480 H1004 , she may go H1980 and be H1961 another H312 man H376 's wife .
|
|
3. and the second husband, too, comes to dislike her and dismisses her from his house by handing her a written bill of divorce; or if this second man who has married her, dies;
|
3. And if the latter H314 husband H376 hate H8130 her , and write H3789 her a bill H5612 of divorcement H3748 , and giveth H5414 it in her hand H3027 , and sendeth H7971 her out of his house H4480 H1004 ; or H176 if H3588 the latter H314 husband H376 die H4191 , which H834 took H3947 her to be his wife H802 ;
|
|
4. then her former husband, who dismissed her, may not again take her as his wife after she has become defiled. That would be an abomination before the LORD, and you shall not bring such guilt upon the land which the LORD, your God, is giving you as a heritage.
|
4. Her former H7223 husband H1167 , which H834 sent her away H7971 , may H3201 not H3808 take H3947 her again H7725 to be H1961 his wife H802 , after that H310 H834 she is defiled H2930 ; for H3588 that H1931 is abomination H8441 before H6440 the LORD H3068 : and thou shalt not H3808 cause H853 the land H776 to sin H2398 , which H834 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 giveth H5414 thee for an inheritance H5159 .

When H3588 a man H376 hath taken H3947 a new H2319 wife H802 , he shall not H3808 go out H3318 to war H6635 , neither H3808 shall he be charged H5674 with H5921 any H3605 business H1697 : but he shall be H1961 free H5355 at home H1004 one H259 year H8141 , and shall cheer up H8055 H853 his wife H802 which H834 he hath taken H3947 .

|
15. At his day H3117 thou shalt give H5414 him his hire H7939 , neither H3808 shall the sun H8121 go down H935 upon H5921 it; for H3588 he H1931 is poor H6041 , and setteth H5375 H853 his heart H5315 upon H413 it: lest H3808 he cry H7121 against H5921 thee unto H413 the LORD H3068 , and it be H1961 sin H2399 unto thee.

|
|
22. For remember that you were once slaves in Egypt; that is why I command you to observe this rule.
|
22. And thou shalt remember H2142 that H3588 thou wast H1961 a bondman H5650 in the land H776 of Egypt H4714 : therefore H5921 H3651 I H595 command H6680 thee to do H6213 H853 this H2088 thing H1697 .
