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.

And if the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of divorcement, and giveth it in her hand, and sendeth her out of his house; or if the latter husband die, which took her to be his wife;
24:4 打发她去的前夫不可在妇人玷污之后再娶她为妻，因为这是耶和华所憎恶的。不可使耶和华你神所赐为业之地被玷污了。
Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before the LORD: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.
24:5 新娶妻之人不可从军出征，也不可托他办理什么公事，可以在家清闲一年，使他所娶的妻快活。

Take heed in the plague of leprosy, that thou observe diligently, and do according to all that the priests the Levites shall teach you: as I commanded them, so ye shall observe to do.

And if the man be poor, thou shalt not sleep with his pledge:
24:13 日落的时候，总要把当头还他，使他用那件衣服盖着睡觉，他就为你祝福。这在耶和华你神面前就是你的义了。

At his day thou shalt give him his hire, neither shall the sun go down upon it; for he is poor, and setteth his heart upon it: lest he cry against thee unto the LORD, and it be sin unto thee.
24:16 不可因子杀父，也不可因父杀子。凡被杀的都为本身的罪。
The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin.
24:17 你不可向寄居的和孤儿屈枉正直，也不可拿寡妇的衣裳作当头。

申命记24参考
不喜欢了就休妻？是这意思吗？
24:1-4 有人以为这一段经文赞成离婚，但实际上并不是这样。它只是承认在以色列人之中已有的习俗。我们对这四节经文，必须按照它的目的来理解；它绝不是劝人随心所欲地休妻。离婚乃是夫妇二人永远结束夫妻关系。人一旦仳离，与别人再婚以后，绝不可以与离婚的一方破镜重圆（24:4）。这种规定，防止为微不足道的事而拆散婚姻，以后又随随便便地复合。它的目的是叫人在离异以前，要三思而后行。
神真体恤人！希望人也宽厚点 ……
24:5 新婚的夫妇在头一年要形影不离地在一起。不要将不必要的重担加在他们身上，以使他们在享受新婚之乐时有机会建立关系，达致成熟坚强，以负起众多的责任。园丁在小盆子里开始培植秧苗，让它生根，然后才把它分种到田间。所以人在结婚之初，不要有太多的外间压力与分心的事，以保护婚姻关系，使之坚强。不要对新婚者指望太多，或要求太多，因为他们需要充分的时间与精力，来建立牢固的婚姻。
我对穷困的人，是报以同情、怜悯？还是冷淡、不屑？甚至讨厌？
24:10-22 神在全部旧约之中，都吩咐子民要公平地对待穷人。人常常把穷困的人看为懒惰或没有工作能力，但实际上他们可能是受欺压、被剥削的人，又或是环境使然。神叫我们尽可能帮助贫困者。神的公平不容许人向不幸者取利，或者要他们急速归还贷款。相反地，他的律法给穷人一切的机会去改善生活，又给无力之人提供仁慈的选择。没有人能与穷人完全隔绝，神要我们公平地对待穷人，尽自己本分来帮助他们。
设身处地为穷人著想，这种爱能从我身上流露出去吗？
24:19-21 神吩咐他的子民要留些庄稼在田里，不要割尽，好让寄居的与孤儿寡妇拾取。这称为拾麦穗，算是第二次收割，可使拾穗之人得到食物。神订出这律法多年以后，路得在波阿斯田里，跟在收割庄稼之人的后面拾取剩下的麦穗，使她自己与婆婆拿俄米有粮食可吃（参得2:2）。波阿斯在多年以后遵行了这个条例，使路得能获取食物。路得是主基督家系中的妇女。
