5 When a man has 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 whom he has taken.
6 No man shall take the lower or the upper millstone for a pledge, for he takes a man’s life to pledge.
7 When a man is found stealing any of his brethren of the sons of Israel and making merchandise of him or selling him, then that thief shall die; and thou shalt put the evil away from among you.
8 Keep yourselves from the plague of leprosy that thou observe diligently and do according to all that the priests the Levites shall teach you; as I commanded them, so ye shall take care to do. 9 Remember what the LORD thy God did unto Miriam by the way after ye were come forth out of Egypt.
10 When thou dost lend thy brother any thing, thou shalt not go into his house to take his pledge. 11 Thou shalt stand outside, and the man to whom thou dost lend shall bring the pledge out unto thee. 12 And if the man is poor, thou shalt not sleep with his pledge. 13 Without fail thou shalt deliver him the pledge again when the sun goes down that he may sleep in his own clothing and bless thee, and it shall be righteousness unto thee before the LORD thy God.
14 Thou shalt not do violence unto a hired servant that is poor and needy, whether he is of thy brethren or of thy strangers that are in thy land within thy gates. 15 In his day thou shalt give him his hire, neither shall the sun go down upon it; for he is poor and with it sustains his life, lest he cry against thee unto the LORD, and it be sin unto thee.
16 The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers; each one shall be put to death for his own sin.
17 Thou shalt not twist the rights of the stranger nor of the fatherless nor take a widow’s clothing for a pledge, 18 but thou shalt remember that thou wast a slave in Egypt, and the LORD thy God ransomed thee from there; therefore, I command thee to do this thing.
19 When thou doest reap thy harvest in thy field and hast forgot a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go again to bring it; it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, or for the widow, that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hands. 20 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. 21 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. 22 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a slave in the land of Egypt; therefore, I command thee to do this thing.
1 If there is a controversy between persons and they come unto judgment and they are judged, then they shall justify the righteous and condemn the wicked. 2 And it shall be if the wicked man is worthy to be beaten the judge shall cause him to lie down and to be beaten in his presence, according to his fault, by a certain number. 3 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 be despised before thee.
4 Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treads out the grain.
