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 si acceperit homo uxorem et habuerit eam et non invenerit gratiam ante oculos eius propter aliquam foeditatem scribet libellum repudii et dabit in manu illius et dimittet eam de domo sua

2 cumque egressa alterum maritum duxerit

3 et ille quoque oderit eam dederitque ei libellum repudii et dimiserit de domo sua vel certe mortuus fuerit

4 non poterit prior maritus recipere eam in uxorem quia polluta est et abominabilis facta est coram Domino ne peccare facias terram tuam quam Dominus Deus tuus tibi tradiderit possidendam

5 cum acceperit homo nuper uxorem non procedet ad bellum nec ei quippiam necessitatis iniungetur publicae sed vacabit absque culpa domui suae ut uno anno laetetur cum uxore sua
