Deuteronomy 24:1-3
Each is a separate step....
613 Laws...
Jesus said:
Matthew 5:31
this is what I have said, listen, Deuteronomy 24:1 "When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes,
because he hath found some uncleanness in her:
then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house."
Deuteronomy 24:2 "And when she is departed out of his house,
she may go and be another man's wife."
this is what the Lord Jesus said, listen, Matthew 19:3 "The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him,
Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?"
Matthew 19:4 "And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,"
Matthew 19:5 "And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?"
Matthew 19:6 "Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder."
now listen carefully to the next verses,
Matthew 19:7 "They say unto him,
Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement,
and to put her away?"
Matthew 19:8 "He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts
suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so."
Matthew 19:9 "And I say unto you,
Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and
shall marry another, committeth adultery: and
whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery."
did you understand. see men was putting away their wives for any reason. just sending, or PUTTING her away for any reason. well God put a stop to that. if a man wanted to get rid of his wife, well now he going to have to compensate her. for the man own every thing, and she owned nothing. so now if he wanted to get rid of his wife for any and every casuse, now he's going to have to compensate her.
and also with this bill of Divorcement, she is now "legally" to freely marry again. see before it was "DEATH" the only way to get out of the marriage. God is not the God of the dead then, but it's a long story in this thing. but you can see why now a spouse need a bill of Divorcement to "LAWFULLY" marry again. this is her proof. just putting way was no legal, nor fair.
as the Lord said, Moses "commanded" to give a writing of divorcement. which was the right and just thing to do.
