Deuteronomy 24:3

3 and he also hateth her, and giveth to her a little book of forsaking, and delivereth her from his house, either certainly he is dead, (and he also hateth her, and giveth her a bill of divorce, and putteth her out of his house, or if he should die,)

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 If a man taketh a wife, and hath her, and she findeth not grace before his eyes for some vileness, or uncleanness, he shall write a little book of forsaking, and he shall give (it) in her hand, and he shall deliver her from his house. (When a man taketh a wife, and hath her, and she findeth not favour before him, because of some vileness, or uncleanness, in her, he shall write up a bill of divorce, and he shall give it to her, and he shall put her out of his house.)

2 And when she goeth out from him, and weddeth another husband,

3 and he also hateth her, and giveth to her a little book of forsaking, and delivereth her from his house, either certainly he is dead, (and he also hateth her, and giveth her a bill of divorce, and putteth her out of his house, or if he should die,)

4 the former husband shall not be able to receive her again into wife, for she is defouled, and made abominable before the Lord (the first husband shall not be able to take her back again to be his wife, for she is defiled, and made abominable before the Lord); lest thou make thy land to do sin, which thy Lord God hath given thee to wield.

5 When a man hath taken (of) late a wife, he shall not go forth to battle, neither anything of the common needs shall be enjoined to him, but he shall give attention without blame to his house(hold), that he be glad in one year with his wife. (When a man hath recently taken a wife, he shall not go forth to battle, nor anything of the common needs shall be required from him, but he shall give attention to his family for one year without blame, so that he can be happy with his wife.)
