A bastard shall not enter into the assembly of Yahweh; even to the tenth generation shall none of his enter into the assembly of Yahweh.

You shall not be disgusted by an Edomite; for he is your brother: you shall not be disgusted by an Egyptian, because you were a sojourner in his land.

You shall not deliver to his master a slave that escapes from his master to you:

When a man takes a wife, and marries her, then it shall be, if she finds no favor in his eyes, because he has found some unseemly thing in her, that he shall write her a bill of divorce, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house.

And when she's departed out of his house, she may go and be another man's [wife].

And if the latter husband hates her, and writes her a bill of divorce, and gives it in her hand, and sends her out of his house; or if the latter husband dies, who took her to be his wife;

her former husband, who sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after she's defiled; for that is disgusting before Yahweh: and you shall not cause the land to sin, which Yahweh your God gives you for an inheritance.

When a man takes 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 whom he has taken.

If a man is found stealing any of his brothers of the sons of Israel, and he deals with him as a slave, or sells him; then that thief shall die: so you shall put away the evil from the midst of you.

When you lend your neighbor any manner of loan, you shall not go into his house to fetch his pledge.

And if he is a poor man, you shall not sleep with his pledge;

you shall surely restore to him the pledge when the sun goes down, that he may sleep in his garment, and bless you: and it shall be righteousness to you before Yahweh your God.

in his day you shall give him his wages, neither shall the sun go down on it; for he is poor, and sets his heart on it: lest he cry against you to Yahweh, and it is sin to you.

The fathers shall not be put to death for the sons, neither shall the sons be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin.

and it shall be, if the wicked man is worthy to be beaten, that the judge shall cause him to lie down, and to be beaten before his face, according to his wickedness, by number.

And it shall be, that the first-born that she bears shall succeed in the name of his brother that is dead, that his name shall not be blotted out of Israel.

And if the man does not want to take his brother's wife, then his brother's wife shall go up to the gate to the elders, and say, My husband's brother refuses to raise up to his brother a name in Israel; he will not perform the duty of a husband's brother to me.

Then the elders of his city shall call him, and speak to him: and if he stands, and says, I don't want to take her;

then his brother's wife shall come to him in the presence of the elders, and loose his shoe from off his foot, and spit in his face; and she shall answer and say, So it shall be done to the man that does not build up his brother's house.

And his name shall be called in Israel, The house of him that has his shoe loosed.
