Deuteronomy 24:1-22
24:1-4 The finality of divorce.
24:5 The husband has the responsibility of being with his wife and establishing their home and relationship for at least a year after marriage.
24:6 A millstone was used for preparing food; each family is entitled to have this household necessity.
24:7 Kidnappers are sentenced to death.
24:8-9 Be careful not to spread leprosy (literally or figuratively); opposition to God is corrosive to the body and Spirit.
24:10-13 The children of Israel are told to lend to their spiritual kin without harassing them.
24:14-15 Be a fair and just employer; do not take advantage of any worker.
24:16 Each person is responsible for their own self.
24:17-18 Be fair and empathetic with the less fortunate; all people deserve just treatment.
24:19-22 Abundance is to be reserved for the widows, lost and orphans. God always blessed His children abundantly so that the overflow can be shared with those who do not yet know Him, but need Him. God wants them (and us) to always remember that before we found Him, our spiritual home, we were orphaned, widowed and enslaved too.
