23:11. And shall not return, before he be washed with water in the
evening: and after sunset he shall return into the camp.
23:12. Thou shalt have a place without the camp, to which thou mayst go
for the necessities of nature,
23:13. Carrying a paddle at thy girdle. And when thou sittest down, thou
shalt dig round about, and with the earth that is dug up thou shalt
cover
23:14. That which thou art eased of: (for the Lord thy God walketh in
the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thy enemies to
thee:) and let thy camp be holy, and let no uncleanness appear therein,
lest he go away from thee.
No uncleanness... This caution against suffering any filth in the camp,
was to teach them to fly the filth of sin, which driveth God away from
the soul.
23:15. Thou shalt not deliver to his master the servant that is fled to
thee.
23:16. He shall dwell with thee in the place that shall please him, and
shall rest in one of thy cities: give him no trouble.
23:17. There shall be no whore among the daughters of Israel, nor
whoremonger among the sons of Israel.
23:18. Thou shalt not offer the hire of a strumpet, nor the price of a
dog, in the house of the Lord thy God, whatsoever it be that thou hast
vowed: because both these are an abomination to the Lord thy God.
23:19. Thou shalt not lend to thy brother money to usury, nor corn, nor
any other thing:
23:20. But to the stranger. To thy brother thou shalt lend that which he
wanteth, without usury: that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all thy
works in the land, which thou shalt go in to possess.
To the stranger... This was a dispensation granted by God to his people,
who being the Lord of all things, can give a right and title to one upon
the goods of another. Otherwise the scripture everywhere condemns usury,
as contrary to the law of God, and a crying sin. See Ex. 22.25; Lev.
25.36, 37; 2 Esd. 5.7; Ps. 14.5; Ezech. 18.8, 13, etc.
23:21. When thou hast made a vow to the Lord thy God, thou shalt not
delay to pay it: because the Lord thy God will require it. And if thou
delay, it shall be imputed to thee for a sin.
23:22. If thou wilt not promise, that shalt be without sin.
23:23. But that which is once gone out of thy lips, thou shalt observe,
and shalt do as thou hast promised to the Lord thy God, and hast spoken
with thy own will and with thy own mouth.
23:24. Going into thy neighbour's vineyard, thou mayst eat as many
grapes as thou pleasest: but must carry none out with thee:
23:25. If thou go into thy friend's corn, thou mayst break the ears, and
rub them in thy hand: but not reap them with a sickle.
Deuteronomy Chapter 24
Divorce permitted to avoid greater evil: the newly married must not go
to war: of men stealers, of leprosy, of pledges, of labourers' hire, of
justice, and of charity to the poor.
24:1. If a man take a wife, and have her, and she find not favour in his
eyes, for some uncleanness: he shall write a bill of divorce, and shall
give it in her hand, and send her out of his house.
24:2. And when she is departed, and marrieth another husband,
24:3. And he also hateth her, and hath given her a bill of divorce, and
hath sent her out of his house or is dead:
24:4. The former husband cannot take her again to wife: because she is
defiled, and is become abominable before the Lord: lest thou cause thy
land to sin, which the Lord thy God shall give thee to possess.
