Deutéronome 22:13 BDS

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Deuteronomy 22:13

"If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate her, and lay shameful things to her charge, and bring up an evil name upon her, and say, I took this woman, and when I came nigh to her, I found not in her the tokens of virginity; then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth the tokens of the damsel's virginity unto the elders of the city in the gate; and the damsel's father shall say unto the elders, I gave my daughter unto this man to wife, and he hateth her;... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 22:13-17

Ver. 13-17. If any man take a wife, &c.— The most probable arguments we can meet with, in support of the literal sense of this passage, amount to this; first, That the Jewish young women were married at the age of twelve or thirteen. Secondly, That we are not to judge of the constitution of the human body in other climates, by that of bodies in our own. Thirdly, That, in fact, customs wholly similar to those which Moses insinuates to have been common in his time, and which must have been so... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 22:13

13-30. If a man take a wife, c.—The regulations that follow might be imperatively needful in the then situation of the Israelites and yet, it is not necessary that we should curiously and impertinently inquire into them. So far was it from being unworthy of God to leave such things upon record, that the enactments must heighten our admiration of His wisdom and goodness in the management of a people so perverse and so given to irregular passions. Nor is it a better argument that the Scriptures... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Deuteronomy 22:9-18

7. Laws arising from the seventh commandment 22:9-23:18The seventh commandment is, "You shall not commit adultery" (Deuteronomy 5:18). Adultery involves mixing people in a way that they should not mix. The Israelites need to keep things properly apart separate."Known elsewhere in the ancient Near East as the ’Great Sin,’ adultery epitomizes all that impurity means, whether in family, social, political, or religious life."

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Deuteronomy 22:13-30

The marriage relationship 22:13-30Moses considered seven types of cases in these verses.The first case (Deuteronomy 22:13-19) is of a man who marries a woman and then falsely charges her with being a harlot (not being a virgin when he married her). If the girl could prove her virginity, her husband would have to pay a large fine (cf. 2 Samuel 24:24) to her father and remain married to the girl. Note that his law clarifies that God permitted divorce among the Israelites in some situations... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 22:1-30

Laws regarding Lost Property, Distinction of Sex in Apparel, and Chastity1-4. Law of Lost Property: see Exodus 23:4 and note.5. ’God is not the author of confusion,’ and the natural distinctions He Himself has appointed ought to be respected. Whatever contravenes the law of nature contravenes the law of God: cp. the principle laid down by St. Paul in 1 Corinthians 11:3-16. Immodesty leads to immorality. There may be an allusion here to the unchaste practices connected with certain idolatrous... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Deuteronomy 22:13-22

Deuteronomy 22:13-30. LAWS OF CONJUGAL FIDELITY.(13-21) Virginity.—The law in these verses will be best appreciated by considering its effects. The maidens in Israel would be compelled to guard their maidenliness and innocence, as they valued their lives. Jealousy and caprice on the part of the husbands, in view of this law, would be avoided as likely to incur discredit and serious penalties. A fine of 100 shekels (as in Deuteronomy 22:19), or 50 (as in Deuteronomy 22:29), was no light matter... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Deuteronomy 22:1-30

Your Responsibility for Your Brother Deuteronomy 22:1-3 A recent writer in one of our religious papers has said, with all the omniscience and infallibility that attach to the press, that no one preaches from the Pentateuch in these days. By this he probably suggests that there is no Gospel in the Pentateuch, and in suggesting this he shows hopeless, unblushing ignorance. One of the best books Charles Kingsley wrote was The Gospel in the Pentateuch; and anyone who takes the trouble to look for... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 22:1-30

LAWS OF PURITY (CHASTITY AND MARRIAGE)IN dealing with the ten commandments it has been already shown that, though these great statements of religious and moral truth were to some extent inadequate as expressions of the highest life, they yet contained the living germs of all that has followed. But we cannot suppose that the reality of Israelite life from the first corresponded with them. They contained much that only the experience and teaching of ages could fully bring to light; therefore we... read more

William Nicoll

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 22:8-30

LAWS OF KINDNESSWITH the commands we now have to consider, we leave altogether the region of strict law, and enter entirely upon that of aspiration and of feeling. Kindness, by its very nature, eludes the rude compulsion of law, properly so called. It ceases to be kindness when it loses spontaneity and freedom. Precept, therefore, not law, is the utmost that any lawgiver can give in respect to it; and this is precisely what we have in Deuteronomy, so far as it endeavors to incite men to... read more
