Deuteronomy 24:3 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 24:3

And [if] the latter husband hate her
Or less loves her than another woman, and she is disliked by him as she was by her former husband;

and write her a bill off divorcement, and giveth [it] into her hand,
and sendeth her out of his house:
as he had by this law a permission, in like manner as her former husband had; (See Gill on Deuteronomy 24:1);

or if her latter husband die, which took her [to be] his wife;
and she survives him; as she is then by death loosed from the law of an husband, she may lawfully marry another man, but not her former husband, as follows.

Deuteronomy 24:3 In-Context

1 Suppose a man gets married to a woman. But later he decides he doesn't like her. He finds something shameful about her. So he gives her a letter of divorce and sends her away from his house.
2 Then after she leaves his house she becomes another man's wife.
3 But her second husband doesn't like her either. So he gives her a letter of divorce and sends her away from his house. Or perhaps he dies.
4 Then her first husband isn't allowed to marry her again. The LORD would hate that. When her first husband divorced her, she became "unclean." Don't bring sin on the land the LORD your God is giving you as your own.
5 Suppose a man has just gotten married. Then don't send him into battle. Don't give him any other duty either. He's free to stay home for one year. He needs time to make his new wife happy.
