Deuteronomy 22:18-19 ESV

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Deuteronomy 22:19

Deuteronomy 22:19. Give them unto the father of the damsel Because this was a reproach to his family, and to himself, as such misconduct of his daughter would have been ascribed to his neglect of properly instructing or watching over her. He may not put her away all his days Thus he was deprived of the common benefit which every Israelite had who did not like his wife, which was to sue out a divorce. read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 22:1-30

Laws of love and purity (22:1-30)A collection of miscellaneous laws reminds the people of some everyday responsibilities. They had to go out of their way to help others (22:1-4); they were not to dress in a way that would encourage immorality (5); they were to be thoughtful for the safety of others, birds and animals as well as people (6-8); and they were not to restrict the productivity of their crops through wrong practices, or shorten the lives of their working animals through cruelty... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 22:18-19

Ver. 18, 19. The elders—shall—chastise—him, &c.— That is, say the Talmudists, condemn him to receive forty stripes, save one; and they add, that the woman was sent back with a solemn benediction; and that the false witnesses who deposed against her were stoned. See ch. Deuteronomy 19:18-19. It is thought that this chastisement was only inflicted in case of the non-payment of the fine of one hundred shekels of silver; which sum the father was to receive, as some compensation for the reproach... 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." [Note: Merrill, Deuteronomy, p. 299.] read more

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

William Nicoll

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
