Deuteronomy 24:8,Deuteronomy 24:9

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

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

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 24:8

Verse 8 8.Take heed in the plague of leprosy. I am aware how greatly interpreters differ from each other and how variously they twist whatever Moses has written about Leprosy. Some are too eagerly devoted to allegories; some think that God, as a prudent Legislator, merely gave a commandment of a sanitary, nature, in order that a contagious disease should not, spread among the people. This notion, however, is very. poor, and almost unmeaning; and is briefly. refuted by Moses himself, both where... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 24:6-13

Prohibited Pledges. Wealth is power; in every nation we need the safeguards of law to prevent such power from becoming tyranny. The poor are ever liable to become the prey of voracious avarice. I. A SEASONABLE LOAN IS A PRICELESS SERVICE , Men can render service one to another in a thousand different forms. Redundance of possession on the part of one may serviceably supply the deficiencies of another. One man has riches which he cannot profitably employ, another has trade for... read more

The treatment of the poor. The helplessness and dependence of the poor expose them to much harsh treatment. The poor man has, however, his Friend and Judge in God, whose Law here steps in for his protection. It ordains— I. THAT THE NECESSARIES OF LIFE ARE NOT TO BE TAKEN FROM HIM . The millstone ( Deuteronomy 24:6 ). His raiment, which if taken in pledge is to be restored by nightfall ( Deuteronomy 24:12 , Deuteronomy 24:13 ). These are considerate... read more

Neighborly love and good will to be cultivated in detail. One golden thread runs through all the varied precepts of this chapter. They are most interesting illustrations, one and all, of the spirit of humanity and of far-reaching wisdom which pervades the Mosaic Law. The following heading include the gist of the several injunctions here given, and show also their relation to each other. 1. Man's "inhumanity to man" is sternly restrained. No Israelite, however poor, is to be kidnapped... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 24:8

Leprosy. I. A JUDGMENT TO BE DREADED . Leprosy is viewed here, as usually in Scripture: 1. As a stroke of Divine judgment . It was not always such ( Job 2:1-13 .). Nor did the stroke of Divine judgment always take this form (Uzzah, Jeroboam, Ananias, etc.). But it was a frequent form of punishment for sins of a theocratic nature (Uzziah, Gehazi, etc.). It is seldom safe to interpret judgments ( Luke 13:1-6 ), but we may expect God's stroke in some way to fall upon... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 24:8-9

The law concerning the leprosy is in Leviticus 13:1-59 ; Leviticus 14:1-57 . By this law the priests are directed how to proceed with those afflicted with leprosy; and here the people are counseled by Moses to follow the directions of the priests in this case, however painful it might be for them to submit to the restrictions that would be thereby imposed upon them, remembering what the Lord did to Miriam the sister of Moses, how even she was separated from the camp by the express command... read more
