When a man has taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall he be charged with any duty. He shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer up his wife whom he has taken.

Remember what Amalek did to you by the way, when you came forth out of Egypt,

And the Levites shall speak and say to all the men of Israel with a loud voice,

Cursed is the man that makes any graven or molten image, an abomination to Jehovah, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and puts it in a secret place. And all the people shall answer and say, Amen.

Cursed is he who makes the blind to wander out of the way. And all the people shall say, Amen.
