Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 24:4

This is the punishment of his levity and injustice in putting her away without sufficient cause, which by this offer he now acknowledgeth. After that she is defiled; not simply and absolutely, as if her second marriage were a sin, but respectively, or as to her first husband, to whom she is as a defiled or unclean woman, that is, forbidden; for things forbidden are accounted and called unclean, Judges 13:7, because they may no more be touched or used than an unclean thing.

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.

With us a man may put away his wife for adultery, but he cannot marry another without leave from parliament.... read more
