Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Deuteronomy 24:1-4

This is that permission which the Pharisees erroneously referred to as a precept, Matt. 19:7; Moses commanded to give a writing of divorcement. It was not so; our Saviour told them that he only suffered it because of the hardness of their hearts, lest, if they had not had liberty to divorce their wives, they should have ruled them with rigour, and it may be, have been the death of them. It is probable that divorces were in use before (they are taken for granted, Lev. 21:14), and Moses thought... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Deuteronomy 24:5-13

Here is, I. Provision made for the preservation and confirmation of love between new-married people, Deut. 24:5. This fitly follows upon the laws concerning divorce, which would be prevented if their affection to each other were well settled at first. If the husband were much abroad from his wife the first year, his love to her would be in danger of cooling, and of being drawn aside to others whom he would meet with abroad; therefore his service to his country in war, embassies, or other... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 24:1

When a man hath taken a wife and married her ,.... That is, when a man has made choice of a woman for his wife, and has obtained her consent, and the consent of her parents; and has not only betrothed her, but taken her home, and consummated the marriage: and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes ; is not agreeable to him, he takes no delight in her person, nor pleasure in her company and conversation; but, on the contrary, his affections are alienated from her, and he... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 24:2

And when she is departed out of his house ,.... With her bill of divorce, by which departure out of his house it is notified to all: she may go and be other man's wife ; it was permitted her to marry another man, she being by her divorce freed from the law of her former husband; and who indeed, in express words contained in the divorce, gave her leave so to do; which ran thus,"thou art in thine own hand, and hast power over thyself to go and marry any other man whom thou pleasest; and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 24:3

And if the latter husband hate her ,.... Or less loves her than another woman, and she is disliked by him as she was by her former husband: and write her a bill off divorcement, and giveth it into her hand , and sendeth her out of his house : as he had by this law a permission, in like manner as her former husband had; See Gill on Deuteronomy 24:1 , or if her latter husband die, which took her to be his wife ; and she survives him; as she is then by death loosed from the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 24:4

Her former husband which sent her away may not take her again to be his wife ,.... Though ever so desirous of it, and having heartily repented that he had put her away: this is the punishment of his fickleness and inconstancy, and was ordered to make men cautious how they put away their wives; since when they had so done, and they had been married to another, they could not enjoy them again even on the death of the second husband; yea, though she was only espoused to him, and he had never... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 24:5

When a man hath taken a new wife ,.... A wife he has lately married, new to him, though a widow, as Jarchi observes; but the Targum of Jonathan says a virgin; however this is opposed to his old wife, and divorced; for this, as Jarchi and Ben Melech say, excepts the return of a divorced wife, who cannot be said to be a new one: he shall not go out to war ; this is to be understood of a man that had not only betrothed, but married a wife; a man that had betrothed a wife, and not married... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 24:6

No man shall take the nether or the upper millstone to pledge ,.... The first word being of the dual number takes in both stones, wherefore Vatablus renders the words,"ye shall not take for a pledge both the millstones, nor indeed the uppermost;'which is the least; so far should they be from taking both, that they were not allowed to take the uppermost, which was the shortest, meanest, and lightest; and indeed if anyone of them was taken, the other became useless, so that neither was to be... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 24:7

If a man be found stealing any of his brethren of the children of Israel ,.... Whether grown up or little, male or female, an Israelite or a proselyte, or a freed servant; all, as Maimonides F6 Hichot Genibah, c. 9. sect. 6. says, are included in this general word "brethren"; though Aben Ezra observes, that it is added, "of the children of Israel", for explanation, since an Edomite is called a "brother". Now, a man must be "found" committing this fact; that is, it must plainly appear,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 24:8

Take heed, in the plague of leprosy ,.... Whether in the bodies of men, or in houses, or in garments, not to hide and conceal it; or, as Jarchi, weaken the signs of it, or cut out the bright spot; so the Targum of Jonathan: that thou observe diligently, and do according to all the priests the Levites shall teach you : according to the laws and rules given in such cases, whether they order to shut up persons, houses, or clothes, or pronounce unclean or clean; in all things they were to do... read more
