Deuteronomy 24:2-11 New English Translation (NET)

2. When she has left him she may go and become someone else’s wife.

3. If the second husband rejects her and then divorces her, gives her the papers, and evicts her from his house, or if the second husband who married her dies,

4. her first husband who divorced her is not permitted to remarry her after she has become ritually impure, for that is offensive to the Lord. You must not bring guilt on the land which the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance.

5. When a man is newly married, he need not go into the army nor be obligated in any way; he must be free to stay at home for a full year and bring joy to the wife he has married.

6. One must not take either lower or upper millstones as security on a loan, for that is like taking a life itself as security.

7. If a man is found kidnapping a person from among his fellow Israelites, and regards him as mere property and sells him, that kidnapper must die. In this way you will purge evil from among you.

8. Be careful during an outbreak of leprosy to follow precisely all that the Levitical priests instruct you; as I have commanded them, so you should do.

9. Remember what the Lord your God did to Miriam along the way after you left Egypt.

10. When you make any kind of loan to your neighbor, you may not go into his house to claim what he is offering as security.

11. You must stand outside and the person to whom you are making the loan will bring out to you what he is offering as security.
