Then her first husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is [a]defiled: for that is abomination in the sight of the Lord, and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which the Lord thy God doth give thee to inherit.

¶ When a man taketh a new wife, he shall not go a warfare, [b]neither shall be charged with any business, but shall be free at home one year, and rejoice with his wife, which he hath taken.

¶ No man shall take the nether nor the upper [c]millstone to pledge: for this gage is his living.
