When a man hath taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall he be charged with any business: but he shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer up his wife which he hath taken.

Verse 5 is found in chapter 24 of Deuteronomy. The laws concerning divorce and remarriage establish limits for a family situation that can produce permanent consequences. The legislation concerning skin disease also recalls the case of Miriam, connecting present regulations with the memory of a figure from an earlier generation. Deuteronomy thus uses Israel’s historical experience as a reference for the conduct of later generations.

Wenn jemand kurz zuvor ein Weib genommen hat, der soll nicht in die Heerfahrt ziehen, und man soll ihm nichts auflegen. Er soll frei in seinem Hause sein ein Jahr lang, daß er fröhlich sei mit seinem Weibe, das er genommen hat.
Cuando tomare alguno mujer nueva, no saldrá a la guerra, ni en ninguna cosa se le ocupará; libre estará en su casa por un año, para alegrar a su mujer que tomó.
Si un hombre acaba de tomar esposa, no saldrá con el ejército ni se le impondrá ninguna otra obligación. Quedará libre en su casa durante un año y alegrará a la esposa que ha tomado.
Lorsqu'un homme sera nouvellement marié, il n'ira point à l'armée, et on ne lui imposera aucune charge; il sera exempté par raison de famille pendant un an, et il réjouira la femme qu'il a prise.
Quando alcuno avrà presa novellamente moglie, non vada alla guerra, e non siagli imposto affare alcuno; stia esente in casa sua un anno, e sollazzi la sua moglie ch’egli avrà presa.
Quando um homem for recém-casado não sairá à guerra, nem se lhe imporá encargo algum; por um ano inteiro ficará livre na sua casa para alegrar a mulher que tomou.
