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

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 24:6

No man shall take the nether or the upper millstone to pledge ,.... The first word being of the dual number takes in both stones, wherefore Vatablus renders the words,"ye shall not take for a pledge both the millstones, nor indeed the uppermost;'which is the least; so far should they be from taking both, that they were not allowed to take the uppermost, which was the shortest, meanest, and lightest; and indeed if anyone of them was taken, the other became useless, so that neither was to be... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 24:7

If a man be found stealing any of his brethren of the children of Israel ,.... Whether grown up or little, male or female, an Israelite or a proselyte, or a freed servant; all, as Maimonides F6 Hichot Genibah, c. 9. sect. 6. says, are included in this general word "brethren"; though Aben Ezra observes, that it is added, "of the children of Israel", for explanation, since an Edomite is called a "brother". Now, a man must be "found" committing this fact; that is, it must plainly appear,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 24:8

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 Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 24:9

Remember what the Lord thy God did unto Miriam ,.... Who was stricken with leprosy for speaking against Moses, and was shut up seven days; and they are reminded of this instance, partly to warn them against entertaining evil suspicions, and surmises of persons in power and authority, and speaking evil of them; and partly to expect that punishment would certainly be inflicted on them, should they be guilty of the same crime; nor should they think it hard, either to be smitten with leprosy, or... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 24:6

The nether or the upper mill-stone - Small hand-mills which can be worked by a single person were formerly in use among the Jews, and are still used in many parts of the East. As therefore the day's meal was generally ground for each day, they keeping no stock beforehand, hence they were forbidden to take either of the stones to pledge, because in such a case the family must be without bread. On this account the text terms the millstone the man's life. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 24:6

Verse 6 Deuteronomy 24:6No man shall take the nether. God now enforces another principle of equity in relation to loans, (not to be too strict (107)) in requiring pledges, whereby the poor are often exceedingly distressed. In the first place, He prohibits the taking of anything in pledge which is necessary to the poor for the support of existence; for by the words which I have translated meta and catillus, i e. , the upper and nether millstone, He designates by synecdoche all other instruments,... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 24:7

Verse 7 The same punishment is here deservedly denounced against man-stealers as against murderers; for, so wretched was the condition of slaves, that liberty was more than half of life; and hence to deprive a man of such a great blessing, was almost to destroy him. Besides, it is not man-stealing only which is here condemned, but the accompanying evils of cruelty and fraud, i. e. , if he, who had stolen a man, had likewise sold him. Now, such a sale could hardly be made among the people... 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
