Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 24:6-16

XXIV. 6 f ., 10– 13, which stood perhaps originally together, belong to the many humanitarian laws of D ( Deuteronomy 15:12-Job : *). Corn is still ground in the home in Palestine; this is done by the rotation of an upper on a lower round stone ( cf. the British quern used in Scotland in 1880 according to E. B. Tylor ( Academy, vol. xviii. (1880) p. 204). Deuteronomy 24:7. Exodus 21:16 (JE). Here the law is narrower. In CH (§ 14) it is only the nobleman who may not be stolen ( Deuteronomy... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 24:15

At his day; at the time appointed, weekly or daily. Neither shall the sun go down upon it, to wit, after the day upon which it is due, and desired or demanded by him; for justice must not be denied or delayed. Setteth his heart upon it, Heb. lifteth up his soul to it, which notes his great desire and hope of it, and his dependence upon it: see Psalms 24:4; Jeremiah 22:27. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Deuteronomy 24:1-22

CRITICAL Notes.—In this chapter certain duties social and domestic are chosen to illustrate the general application of the law.Deuteronomy 24:1-5. Relation of man and wife. Divorce. The verses are hypothetical and should form one sentence, the first three being protasis and Deuteronomy 24:4 the apodosis. Moses neither institutes nor commands divorce, but permits, puts under careful regulations which was too prevalent, too deeply rooted to abolish. The passage harmonises with Matthew 5:31-32;... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Deuteronomy 24:1-22

Deuteronomy 24:1 . Some uncleanness; not adultery, but leprosy, secret infirmities, or insupportable wickedness. Moses, says our Saviour; because of the hardness of your hearts, suffered you to put away your wives; but from the beginning it was not so. The magistrates executing the writing, would no doubt see the woman invested with all her property, or provided with a maintenance. With us a man may put away his wife for adultery, but he cannot marry another without leave from parliament.... read more
