241 "When a man takes a wife and marries her, and it happens that she finds no favor in his eyes because he has found some indecency in her, and he writes her a certificate of divorce and puts it in her hand and sends her out from his house , 2 and she leaves his house and goes and becomes another man's wife, 3 and if the latter husband turns against her and writes her a certificate of divorce and puts it in her hand and sends her out of his house , or if the latter husband dies who took her to be his wife , 4 then her former husband who sent her away is not allowed to take her again to be his wife , since e she has been defiled ; for that is an abomination before the Lord , and you shall not bring sin on the land which the Lord your God gives you as an inheritance .
5 " When a man takes a new wife , he shall not go out with the army nor be charged with any duty ; he shall be free at home one year and shall give happiness to his wife whom he has taken . 6 "No one shall take a handmill or an upper millstone in pledge , for he would be taking a life in pledge . 7 " If a man is caught kidnapping any of his countrymen of the sons of Israel , and he deals with him violently or sells him, then that thief shall die ; so you shall purge the evil from among you. 8 " Be careful against an infection of leprosy , that you diligently observe and do according to all that the Levitical priests teach you; as I have commanded them, so you shall be careful to do . 9 "Remember what the Lord your God did to Miriam on the way as you came out of Egypt . 10 " When you make your neighbor a loan of any sort , you shall not enter his house to take his pledge . 11 "You shall remain outside , and the man to whom you make the loan shall bring the pledge out to you. 12 "If he is a poor man , you shall not sleep with his pledge . 13 " When the sun goes down you shall surely return the pledge to him, that he may sleep in his cloak and bless you; and it will be righteousness for you before the Lord your God .
14 " You shall not oppress a hired servant who is poor and needy , whether he is one of your countrymen or one of your aliens who is in your land in your towns . 15 " You shall give him his wages on his day before the sun sets , for he is poor and sets his heart on it; so that he will not cry against you to the Lord and it become sin in you. 16 " Fathers shall not be put to death for their sons , nor shall sons be put to death for their fathers ; everyone shall be put to death for his own sin . 17 " You shall not pervert the justice due an alien or an orphan , nor take a widow's garment in pledge . 18 "But you shall remember that you were a slave in Egypt , and that the Lord your God redeemed you from there ; therefore e I am commanding you to do this thing . 19 " When you reap your harvest in your field and have forgotten a sheaf in the field , you shall not go back to get it; it shall be for the alien , for the orphan , and for the widow , in order that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hands . 20 " When you beat your olive tree , you shall not go over the boughs again ; it shall be for the alien , for the orphan , and for the widow . 21 "When you gather the grapes of your vineyard , you shall not go over it again ; it shall be for the alien , for the orphan , and for the widow . 22 "You shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt ; therefore e I am commanding you to do this thing .
31 " Then we turned and went up the road to Bashan , and Og , king of Bashan , with all his people came out to meet us in battle at Edrei . 2 "But the Lord said to me, 'Do not fear him, for I have delivered him and all his people and his land into your hand ; and you shall do to him just as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites , who lived at Heshbon .' 3 "So the Lord our God delivered Og also , king of Bashan , with all his people into our hand , and we smote them until no survivor was left . 4 "We captured all his cities at that time ; there was not a city which we did not take from them: sixty cities , all the region of Argob , the kingdom of Og in Bashan . 5 "All these were cities fortified with high walls , gates and bars , besides e a great many unwalled towns . 6 "We utterly destroyed them, as we did to Sihon king of Heshbon , utterly destroying the men , women and children of every city . 7 " But all the animals and the spoil of the cities we took as our booty . 8 " Thus we took the land at that time from the hand of the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan , from the valley of Arnon to Mount Hermon 9 (Sidonians call Hermon Sirion , and the Amorites call it Senir ): 10 all the cities of the plateau and all Gilead and all Bashan , as far as Salecah and Edrei , cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan . 11 (For only Og king of Bashan was left of the remnant of the Rephaim . Behold , his bedstead was an iron bedstead ; it is in Rabbah of the sons of Ammon . Its length was nine cubits and its width four cubits by ordinary cubit .)
12 "So we took possession of this land at that time . From Aroer , which is by the valley of Arnon , and half the hill country of Gilead and its cities I gave to the Reubenites and to the Gadites . 13 "The rest of Gilead and all Bashan , the kingdom of Og , I gave to the half-tribe e of Manasseh , all the region of Argob (concerning all Bashan , it is called the land of Rephaim . 14 Jair the son of Manasseh took all the region of Argob as far as the border of the Geshurites and the Maacathites , and called it, that is, Bashan , after his own name , Havvoth-jair , as it is to this day .) 15 " To Machir I gave Gilead . 16 "To the Reubenites and to the Gadites I gave from Gilead even as far as the valley of Arnon , the middle of the valley as a border and as far as the river Jabbok , the border of the sons of Ammon ; 17 the Arabah also, with the Jordan as a border , from Chinnereth even as far as the sea of the Arabah , the Salt Sea , at the foot of the slopes of Pisgah on the east . 18 "Then I commanded you at that time , saying , ' The Lord your God has given you this land to possess it; all you valiant men shall cross over armed before your brothers , the sons of Israel . 19 ' But your wives and your little ones and your livestock (I know that you have much livestock ) shall remain in your cities which I have given you, 20 until the Lord gives rest to your fellow countrymen as to you, and they also possess the land which the Lord your God will give them beyond the Jordan . Then you may return every man to his possession which I have given you.'
21 "I commanded Joshua at that time , saying , 'Your eyes have seen all that the Lord your God has done to these two kings ; so the Lord shall do to all the kingdoms into which you are about to cross . 22 'Do not fear them, for the Lord your God is the one fighting for you.'
23 "I also pleaded with the Lord at that time , saying , 24 'O Lord GOD , You have begun to show Your servant Your greatness and Your strong hand ; for what god is there in heaven or on earth who can do such works and mighty acts as Yours? 25 'Let me, I pray , cross over and see the fair land that is beyond the Jordan , that good hill country and Lebanon .' 26 "But the Lord was angry with me on your account , and would not listen to me; and the Lord said to me, 'Enough ! Speak to Me no more e of this matter . 27 'Go up to the top of Pisgah and lift up your eyes to the west and north and south and east , and see it with your eyes , for you shall not cross over this Jordan . 28 ' But charge Joshua and encourage him and strengthen him, for he shall go across at the head of this people , and he will give them as an inheritance the land which you will see .' 29 "So we remained in the valley opposite Beth-peor .
