Deuteronomy 24:1-4

Laws Concerning Divorce

1“When a man takes a wife and marries her, if then she finds no favor in his eyes because he has found some indecency in her, and ^ahe writes her a certificate of divorce and puts it in her hand and sends her out of his house, and she departs out of his house, 2and if she goes and becomes another man’s wife, 3and the latter man hates her and writes her a certificate of divorce and puts it in her hand and sends her out of his house, or if the latter man dies, who took her to be his wife, 4then ^bher former husband, who sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after she has been defiled, for that is an abomination before the Lord. And you shall not bring sin upon the land that the Lord your God is giving you for an inheritance.

Isaiah 50:1

Israel’s Sin and the Servant’s Obedience

1 Thus says the Lord:
“Where is ^cyour mother’s certificate of divorce,
with which ^dI sent her away?
Or ^ewhich of my creditors is it
to whom I have sold you?
^fBehold, for your iniquities you were sold,
and for your transgressions your mother was sent away.

Matthew 5:31-32

Divorce

31 ^g“It was also said, ^h‘Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.’ 32 ⁱBut I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of sexual immorality, makes her commit adultery, and ^jwhoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

Matthew 19:3-9

3And Pharisees came up to him and ^ktested him by asking, ^l“Is it lawful to divorce one’s wife for any cause?” 4He answered, ^m“Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, 5and said, ⁿ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and ^othe two shall become one flesh’? 6So they are no longer two but one flesh. ^pWhat therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.” 7They said to him, ^q“Why then did Moses command one to give a certificate of divorce and to send her away?” 8He said to them, “Because of your ^rhardness of heart Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so. 9 ^sAnd I say to you: whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery.” ▼
