"When a man takes a wife and marries her, and it happens, if she finds no favor in his eyes because he has found some ^(C1)indecency in her, that ^(C2)he writes her a certificate of divorce, puts it in her hand, and ^(F1)sends her away from his house,

and she leaves his house and goes and becomes another man's wife,

and the latter husband ^(F1)turns against her, writes her a certificate of divorce and puts it in her hand, and ^(F2)sends her away from his house, or if the latter husband who took her to be his wife dies,

then her ^(C1)former husband who ^(F1)sent her away is not allowed to take her again to be his wife, after ^(F2)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.

"^(C1)When a man takes a new wife, he is not to go out with the army, nor be assigned any duty; he shall be free at home for one year and shall ^(C2)make his wife whom he has taken happy.
