Deuteronomy 23
[1] He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off,
shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD. [2] A bastard shall not
enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to his tenth generation shall
he not enter into the congregation of the LORD. [3] An Ammonite or Moabite
shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to their tenth
generation shall they not enter into the congregation of the LORD for ever:
[4] Because they met you not with bread and with water in the way, when ye
came forth out of Egypt; and because they hired against thee Balaam the son
of Beor of Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse thee. [5] Nevertheless the LORD
thy God would not hearken unto Balaam; but the LORD thy God turned the
curse into a blessing unto thee, because the LORD thy God loved thee.
[6] Thou shalt not seek their peace nor their prosperity all thy days for ever.
[7] Thou shalt not abhor an Edomite; for he is thy brother: thou shalt not
abhor an Egyptian; because thou wast a stranger in his land. [8] The
children that are begotten of them shall enter into the congregation of the
LORD in their third generation. [9] When the host goeth forth against thine
enemies, then keep thee from every wicked thing.
[10] If there be among you any man, that is not clean by reason of
uncleanness that chanceth him by night, then shall he go abroad out of the
camp, he shall not come within the camp: [11] But it shall be, when evening
cometh on, he shall wash himself with water: and when the sun is down, he
shall come into the camp again. [12] Thou shalt have a place also without
the camp, whither thou shalt go forth abroad:
[13] And thou shalt have a paddle upon thy weapon; and it shall be, when
thou wilt ease thyself abroad, thou shalt dig therewith, and shalt turn
back and cover that which cometh from thee: [14] For the LORD thy God
walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thine
enemies before thee; therefore shall thy camp be holy: that he see no
unclean thing in thee, and turn away from thee. [15] Thou shalt not deliver
unto his master the servant which is escaped from his master unto thee:
[16] He shall dwell with thee, even among you, in that place which he shall
choose in one of thy gates, where it liketh him best: thou shalt not
oppress him.
[17] There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of
the sons of Israel.
[18] Thou shalt not bring the hire of a whore, or the price of a dog, into
the house of the LORD thy God for any vow: for even both these are
abomination unto the LORD thy God.
[19] Thou shalt not lend upon usury to thy brother; usury of money, usury
of victuals, usury of any thing that is lent upon usury: [20] Unto a
stranger thou mayest lend upon usury; but unto thy brother thou shalt not
lend upon usury: that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all that thou
settest thine hand to in the land whither thou goest to possess it. [21]
When thou shalt vow a vow unto the LORD thy God, thou shalt not slack to
pay it: for the LORD thy God will surely require it of thee; and it would
be sin in thee.
[22] But if thou shalt forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in thee. [23]
That which is gone out of thy lips thou shalt keep and perform; even a
freewill offering, according as thou hast vowed unto the LORD thy God,
which thou hast promised with thy mouth.
[24] When thou comest into thy neighbour's vineyard, then thou mayest eat
grapes thy fill at thine own pleasure; but thou shalt not put any in thy
vessel.
[25] When thou comest into the standing corn of thy neighbour, then thou
mayest pluck the ears with thine hand; but thou shalt not move a sickle
unto thy neighbour's standing corn.

Deuteronomy 24
[1] When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that
she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in
her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand,
and send her out of his house.
[2] And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man's wife.
[3] And if the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of
divorcement, and giveth it in her hand, and sendeth her out of his house;
or if the latter husband die, which took her to be his wife; [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 hath 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 which he hath taken. [6] No man shall
take the nether 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 maketh merchandise of him, or selleth him; then that thief
shall die; and thou shalt put evil away from among you. [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, after that ye were come forth out of Egypt.
[10] When thou dost lend thy brother any thing, thou shalt not go into his
house to fetch his pledge.
[11] Thou shalt stand abroad, and the man to whom thou dost lend shall
bring out the pledge abroad unto thee.
[12] And if the man be poor, thou shalt not sleep with his pledge: [13] In
any case thou shalt deliver him the pledge again when the sun goeth down,
that he may sleep in his own raiment, and bless thee: and it shall be
righteousness unto thee before the LORD thy God. [14] Thou shalt not
oppress an hired servant that is poor and needy, whether he be of thy
brethren, or of thy strangers that are in thy land within thy gates:
[15] At his day thou shalt give him his hire, neither shall the sun go down
upon it; for he is poor, and setteth his heart upon it: 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: every man shall be put to death for his own sin.
[17] Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of the stranger, nor of the
fatherless; nor take a widow's raiment to pledge: [18] But thou shalt
remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt, and the LORD thy God redeemed
thee thence: therefore I command thee to do this thing. [19] When thou
cuttest down thine harvest in thy field, and hast forgot a sheaf in the
field, thou shalt not go again to fetch it: it shall be for the stranger,
for the fatherless, and 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 bondman in the land of Egypt:
therefore I command thee to do this thing.

Deuteronomy 25
[1] If there be a controversy between men, and they come unto judgment,
that the judges may judge them; then they shall justify the righteous, and
condemn the wicked.
[2] And it shall be, if the wicked man be worthy to be beaten, that the
judge shall cause him to lie down, and to be beaten before his face,
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 seem vile unto thee.
[4] Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out the corn. [5] If
brethren dwell together, and one of them die, and have no child, the wife
of the dead shall not marry without unto a stranger: her husband's brother
shall go in unto her, and take her to him to wife, and perform the duty of
an husband's brother unto her. [6] And it shall be, that the firstborn
which she beareth shall succeed in the name of his brother which is dead,
that his name be not put out of Israel.
[7] And if the man like not to take his brother's wife, then let his
brother's wife go up to the gate unto the elders, and say, My husband's
brother refuseth to raise up unto his brother a name in Israel, he will not
perform the duty of my husband's brother. [8] Then the elders of his city
shall call him, and speak unto him: and if he stand to it, and say, I like
not to take her; [9] Then shall his brother's wife come unto him in the
presence of the elders, and loose his shoe from off his foot, and spit in
his face, and shall answer and say, So shall it be done unto that man that
will not build up his brother's house.
[10] And his name shall be called in Israel, The house of him that hath his
shoe loosed.
[11] When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one
draweth near for to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth
him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the secrets: [12] Then
thou shalt cut off her hand, thine eye shall not pity her. [13] Thou shalt
not have in thy bag divers weights, a great and a small. [14] Thou shalt
not have in thine house divers measures, a great and a small.
[15] But thou shalt have a perfect and just weight, a perfect and just
measure shalt thou have: that thy days may be lengthened in the land which
the LORD thy God giveth thee.
[16] For all that do such things, and all that do unrighteously, are an
abomination unto the LORD thy God.
[17] Remember what Amalek did unto thee by the way, when ye were come forth
out of Egypt;
[18] How he met thee by the way, and smote the hindmost of thee, even all
that were feeble behind thee, when thou wast faint and weary; and he feared
not God.
[19] Therefore it shall be, when the LORD thy God hath given thee rest from
all thine enemies round about, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth
thee for an inheritance to possess it, that thou shalt blot out the
remembrance of Amalek from under heaven; thou shalt not forget it.
