Deuteronomy 24:4-6
Lexham English Bible

4 her first husband who sent her away is not allowed to take her again[a] to become a wife to him after she has been defiled,[b] for that is a detestable thing before[c] Yahweh, and so you shall not mislead into sin the land that Yahweh your God is giving to you as an inheritance.

5 “When[d] a man takes a new wife he shall not go out with the army, and he shall not be obligated with anything;[e] he shall be free from obligation, to stay at home[f] for one year, and he shall bring joy to his wife that he took.

6 “A person[g] shall not take[h] a pair of millstones or an upper millstone, for he is taking necessities of life as a pledge.[i]

Deuteronomy 24:4-6
New International Version

4 then her first husband, who divorced her, is not allowed to marry her again after she has been defiled. That would be detestable in the eyes of the Lord. Do not bring sin upon the land the Lord(A) your God is giving you as an inheritance.

5 If a man has recently married, he must not be sent to war or have any other duty laid on him. For one year he is to be free to stay at home and bring happiness to the wife he has married.(B)

6 Do not take a pair of millstones—not even the upper one—as security for a debt, because that would be taking a person’s livelihood as security.(C)
