Deuteronomy 24:1-4 -

EXPOSITION

LAWS RESPECTING DIVORCE , AGAINST MAN - STEALING AND INJUSTICE .

Of divorce . If a man put away his wife because she did not any longer please him, and she became the wife of another man, by whom also she was put away, or from whom she was severed by his death, the first husband might not remarry her, for that would be an abomination in the eyes of the Lord, and would bring sin on the land. This is not a law sanctioning or regulating divorce; that is simply assumed as what might occur, and what is here regulated is the treatment by the first husband of a woman who has been divorced a second time.
