4 'Her former husband who sent her away is not able to turn back to take her to be to him for a wife, after that she hath become defiled; for an abomination it 'is' before Jehovah, and thou dost not cause the land to sin which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee—an inheritance.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Deuteronomy 24:4
Commentary on Deuteronomy 24:1-4
(Read Deuteronomy 24:1-4)
Where the providence of God, or his own wrong choice in marriage, has allotted to a Christian a trial instead of a help meet; he will from his heart prefer bearing the cross, to such relief as tends to sin, confusion, and misery. Divine grace will sanctify this cross, support under it, and teach so to behave, as will gradually render it more tolerable.
