241When 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.+2And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man’s
wife.+3And
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;+4Her 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.+5When 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.+

that is poor and needy,
whether he be of thy brethren, or of thy strangers that
