Deuteronomy 24:1-6 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

1. If a man take a wife, and have her, and she find not favour in his eyes, for some uncleanness: he shall write a bill of divorce, and shall give it in her hand, and send her out of his house.

2. And when she is departed, and marrieth another husband,

3. And he also hateth her, and hath given her a bill of divorce, and hath sent her out of his house or is dead:

4. The former husband cannot take her again to wife: because she is defiled, and is become abominable before the Lord: lest thou cause thy land to sin, which the Lord thy God shall give thee to possess.

5. When a man hath lately taken a wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall any public business be enjoined him, but he shall be free at home without fault, that for one year he may rejoice with his wife.

6. Thou shalt not take the nether, nor the upper millstone to pledge: for he hath pledged his life to thee.
