Deuteronomy 24:19 KJV

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 24:1-22

DIVORCE AND REMARRIAGE (vs.1-4) Under law there were cases such as often arise similarly at any time. A man may marry a woman and afterwards be thoroughly dissatisfied with her. This is a warning to every young man and woman today that they take time to be sure that they marry only a partner they have proven trustworthy. For a believer, this partner should be only another believer, and both should be persuaded that it is the Lord's will for them to marry. Both would be thus preserved from... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 24:1-22

MORE REGULATIONS PUBLIC PRIVILEGES (Deuteronomy 23:1-9 ) The privileges referred to here are doubtless honors in the state and perhaps, in the case of foreigners, incorporation with Israel by marriage. Eunuchs and bastards were denied these privileges (Deuteronomy 23:1-2 ), and also members of what Gentile nations (Deuteronomy 23:3 )? What caused the latter prohibition (Deuteronomy 23:4-6 )? Such passages as Nehemiah 13:1 ; Ruth 4:10 ; and 2 Kings 10:2 show that there were some exceptions... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Deuteronomy 24:19-22

All these are additional arguments, to manifest the tender mercies of the LORD. We have a beautiful example, of obedience to these precepts in the instance of Boaz. And, as in that instance, we have a lively type of the ever-blessed JESUS, I hope the Reader will not fail to consult it in this place and meditate upon it. Ruth 2:15-16 . And are we not strangers, when we glean in the scriptures of JESUS? LORD, do thou command thy servants to let fall handfuls purposely for us, and give us to glean... read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 24:19

Forget. The Rabbins say, that both the owner and the labourers must forget the sheaf: but his is a vain subtlety. (Calmet) --- Josephus ([Antiquities?] iv. 8,) is more agreeable to the spirit of the law, when he (Haydock) observes that gleanings, and some of the fruit of the vine and olive trees, were to be left on purpose for the poor, Leviticus xix. 9. (Menochius) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 24:14-22

14-22 It is not hard to prove that purity, piety, justice, mercy, fair conduct, kindness to the poor and destitute, consideration for them, and generosity of spirit, are pleasing to God, and becoming in his redeemed people. The difficulty is to attend to them in our daily walk and conversation. read more

Paul E. Kretzmann

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Deuteronomy 24:10-22

Kindness Toward the Poor and Needy v. 10. When thou dost lend thy brother anything, thou shalt not go into his house to fetch his pledge. The choice of the pledge was to be left to the borrower, and the lender was to respect the sanctity of his fellow-man's home. v. 11. Thou shalt stand abroad, outside the house, and the man to whom thou dost lend shall bring out the pledge abroad unto thee, something which he could spare for the time being. v. 12. And if the man, the borrower, be poor,... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 24:19-22

The Gleanings Must Be Left For The Poor (Deuteronomy 24:19-22 ). One of Yahweh’s means of ensuring provision for the poor in the land would be that Israelite farmers out of their prosperity were to leave in their fields, vineyards and orchards the remnants of what was gathered, which are termed ‘the gleanings’. A description was now given of these in rhythmic form. Deuteronomy 24:19 “ When you reap your harvest in your field, And have forgotten a sheaf in the field, You shall not go again to... read more

Joseph Exell

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
