The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 24:1-4

Divorce. The Hebrew Law, "for the hardness of men's hearts," found it was necessary to "suffer" many things not approved of absolutely ( Matthew 19:8 ). Divorce was one of these. It was permitted on grounds of strong personal dislike ( Deuteronomy 24:3 ). The Law was inapplicable to adultery, that being judged a capital offense. While permitting divorce, Moses obviously aims at restricting it, and shows, by his modes of expression, how alien this rupture of the marriage bond is to the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 24:1-5

Permissive legislation. No treatment of this passage can Be appropriate which does not set it in the light thrown upon it by Matthew 19:1-12 . The heading we have given to this outline indicates a point on which special stress should be laid whenever an expositor has occasion to refer to it. In the course of time, men had come to regard this passage in the light of a command . Hence the wording of the question in Matthew 19:7 . But our Lord informs us that it was simply permissive... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 24:1-6

The rights of women. The tendency of the true religion has been to secure and respect the rights of women. Now, we have here women's rights brought under notice in two cases—in a case of separation, and in a case of war. Moses, "because of the hardness of their hearts," allowed divorce, because it prevailed to a lamentable extent in society in his time. He suffered them to divorce their wives, but insisted on a written divorce. Among other nations an oral divorce was sufficient, and so... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 24:1-4

In this and the next chapter certain particular rights and duties, domestic, social, and civil, are treated. The cases brought forward have often no definite connection, and seem selected in order to illustrate the application of the great principles of the Law in certain important events and circumstances.These four verses contain only one sentence, and should be rendered thus: If a man hath taken a wife, etc., and given her a bill of divorcement and Deuteronomy 24:2 if she has departed out of... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Deuteronomy 24:1

Deuteronomy 24:1. Some uncleanness Some hateful thing, some distemper of body, or quality of mind, not observed before marriage: or some light carriage, as this phrase commonly signifies, but not amounting to adultery. Let him write This is not a command, as some of the Jews understood it, nor an allowance and approbation, but merely a permission of that practice for prevention of greater mischiefs, and this only until the time of reformation, till the coming of the Messiah, when things... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 24:1-22

Protection for the disadvantaged (24:1-25:4)Various laws guaranteed protection for defenceless people who might otherwise be exploited. A woman who had been divorced was free from interference by her previous husband. He had to respect the decency of marriage, and had no right to send her away then take her back as he pleased (24:1-4; cf. Matthew 5:32; Matthew 19:3-9). A newly married man could not be forced into the army till at least one year after marriage (5; cf. 20:7). A poor person who... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Deuteronomy 24:1

Kline's analysis of this chapter is thus:(1) Laws of Family (Deuteronomy 24:1-5)(2) Laws of Life (Deuteronomy 24:6-15)(3) Laws of Justice (Deuteronomy 24:16-18)(4) Laws of Charity (Deuteronomy 24:19-22).[1]A number of these have already been studied earlier in the Pentateuch, the repetition of them here being recalled, apparently at random, by Moses in one of his great farewell addresses. This entire third division of Deuteronomy extending through Deuteronomy 26:19 is nearing the end, the whole... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 24:1

Ver. 1. When a man hath taken a wife— The Hebrew nation having been accustomed to the liberty of putting away their wives from motives of dislike and aversion, and Moses being sensible that their hardness of heart, and severity of temper, would, upon an absolute restraint from such liberty, produce greater inconveniences and distractions in families; he now enacted, that when any husband laboured under an absolute dislike to his wife, either upon account of any bodily disease, or of her... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 24:1

1-4. When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes—It appears that the practice of divorces was at this early period very prevalent amongst the Israelites, who had in all probability become familiar with it in Egypt [LANE]. The usage, being too deep-rooted to be soon or easily abolished, was tolerated by Moses (Matthew 19:8). But it was accompanied under the law with two conditions, which were calculated greatly to prevent the evils... read more
