24 When a man marries a woman, then further on he decides he doesn’t want her because of something he found out about her, then he must write a divorce notice and give it to her, and send her out of his house.[ref] 2 After she leaves that marriage, another man is allowed to marry her. 3 If that second husband also decides to divorce her by sending her away with a divorce notice, or if he were to die, 4 then the first husband isn’t allow to take her back as his wife. That’s because she’s been defiled and it would be abhorrent to Yahweh, and you mustn’t defile the land that your god Yahweh is giving you.

5 When a man is newly married, he mustn’t be called for the army or be given any other responsibilities. He must be free for one year to establish his house and to satisfy his new wife.

6 If someone borrows money, the lender mustn’t take their millstone for grinding grain as a pledge, because they need it to stay alive.
