Revised Version 1885

Deuteronomy 24:4-13 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

4. her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before the Lord: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.

5. When a man taketh a new wife, he shall not go out in the host, neither shall he be charged with any business: he shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer his wife which he hath taken.

6. No man shall take the mill or the upper millstone to pledge: for he taketh a man's life to pledge.

7. If a man be found stealing any of his brethren of the children of Israel, and he deal with him as a slave, or sell him; then that thief shall die: so shalt thou put away the evil from the midst of thee.

8. Take heed in 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 observe to do.

9. Remember what the Lord thy God did unto Miriam, by the way as ye came forth out of Egypt.

10. When thou dost lend thy neighbour any manner of loan, thou shalt not go into his house to fetch his pledge.

11. Thou shalt stand without, and the man to whom thou dost lend shall bring forth the pledge without unto thee.

12. And if he be a poor man, thou shalt not sleep with his pledge:

13. thou shalt surely restore to him the pledge when the sun goeth down, that he may sleep in his garment, and bless thee: and it shall be righteousness unto thee before the Lord thy God.
