1 « إنَ تَزَوَّجَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ امْرأةٍ، لَكِنَّهُ لَمْ يُسَرَّ بِها لاحِقاً لِأنَّهُ وَجَدَ فِيها أمراً مُزعِجاً، وَكَتَبَ لَها وَثيقَةَ طَلاقٍ وَأعطاها لَها، وَصَرَفَها مِنْ بَيتِهِ،
“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 uncleanness in her, and he writes her a certificate of divorce, puts it in her hand, and sends her out of his house,
2 ف َغادَرَتِ البَيتَ وَتَزَوَّجَتْ بِرَجُلٍ آخَرَ،
when she has departed from his house, and goes and becomes another man’s wife,
3 و َالزَّوجُ الثّانِي لَمْ يُسَرَّ بِها أيضاً، فَكَتَبَ لَها وَثيقَةَ طَلاقٍ وَأعطاها لَها، وَصَرَفَها مِنْ بَيتِهِ، أوْ إنْ ماتَ زَوجُها الثّانِي،
if the latter husband detests her and writes her a certificate of divorce, puts it in her hand, and sends her out of his house, or if the latter husband dies who took her as his wife,
4 ف َإنَّ الزَّوجَ الأوَّلَ الَّذِي صَرَفَها لا يَستَطِيعُ أنْ يَتَزَوَّجَها ثانِيَةً، بَعدَ أنْ صارَتْ مُنَجَّسَةً بِالنِّسبَةِ لَهُ. اللهُ يُبغِضُ ذَلِكَ وَيَمْقُتُهُ. فَلا تَجلِبْ خَطيَّةً عَلَى الأرْضِ الَّتِي أعطاها إلَهُكَ لَكَ مِيراثاً.
then her former husband who divorced her must not take her back to be his wife after 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 is giving you as an inheritance. Miscellaneous Laws
5 « حِينَ يَكُونُ الرَّجُلُ حَدِيثَ الزَّواجِ، فَإنَّهُ يُعفَى مِنَ الذَّهابِ مَعَ الجَيشِ، وَلا يُكَلَّفُ بِمَسؤلِيّاتٍ عامَّةٍ. وَيَكُونُ حُرّاً لِيَبقَى فِي بَيتِهِ لِسَنَةٍ واحِدَةٍ حَتَّى يُسعِدَ زَوجَتَهُ. شَرائِعُ مُتَفَرِّقَة

You shall stand outside, and the man to whom you lend shall bring the pledge out to you.

And if the man is poor, you shall not keep his pledge overnight.
13 ب َلْ أعِدْهُ إلَيهِ عِندَ غُرُوبِ الشَّمسِ لِيَنامَ فِيهِ فَيُبارِكَكَ. وَيَكُونُ هَذا حَسَناً أمامَ إلَهِكَ.
You shall in any case return the pledge to him again when the sun goes down, that he may sleep in his own garment and bless you; and it shall be righteousness to you before the Lord your God.
14 « لا تَأكُلْ حَقَّ أجِيرٍ فَقِيرٍ وَمُحتاجٍ، سَواءٌ أكانَ إسرائِيلِيّاً أمْ غَرِيباً يَسكُنُ أرْضَكَ فِي إحدَى مُدُنِكَ.
