Deuteronomy 24 📜 📕 ↷
Marriage and Divorce Laws
1 IF a man take a wife, and have her, and she find not grace before his eyes for some loathsomeness: he shall write a bill of divorce, and shall give it in her hand, and dismiss her out of his house.📜💬📚
2 And being departed, when she shall have married an other husband,📜💬📚
3 and he also hateth her, and hath given her a bill of divorce, and hath dismissed her out of his house, or is dead:📜💬📚
4 the former husband can not take her again to wife: because she is polluted, and is made abominable before our Lord: lest thou make thy Land to sin, which our Lord thy God shall deliver thee to possess.📜💬📚
5 When a man hath lately taken a wife, he shall not go forth to battle, neither shall any public necessity be injoined him, but he shall attend to his own house without fault, that one year he may rejoice with his wife.📜💬📚
