Hence the reason divorce under the NC [the covenant providing the HS as helper] is only permissible where there has been a breach of the covenant – i.e. sexual immorality/adultery (24:1 w/Mat 19:1-9, Mat 5:31-32; Definition of condescension = concession/accommodation due to an inferior state; e.g. sippy cups for kids; Other examples of condescension: polygamy, OC clean laws for justification, Gen 29:30-31; Heb 10:1-4).\n \nThe marriage covenant cannot be recovered for those divorced who have (again) joined sexually/spiritually to another (24:1-4; This includes our marriage covenant w/Christ – Isa 50:1 w/Jer 3:1 = Notice God sees spiritual/sexual union to another the same as marriage to another; According to the Bible, sexual union equates to spiritual union – 1Co 6:15-17).\n \nA person’s prosperity is never to be at the expense of another’s livelihood (24:5-22; Definition of livelihood = means of securing the necessities of life; 24:5 = expense of children, 24:6 = expense of food, 24:7 = expense of freedom, 24:8-9 = expense of health, 24:10-13 = expense of shelter/rest, 24:14-15 = expense of money, 24:16-18 = expense of justice, 24:19-22 = expense of charity).\n \nKidnapping is a capital crime (24:7).\n \nGod’s Law never allows a person to be punished for the crimes of another (24:16 w/Lev 27:29 w/Num 35:31).\n \nJustice is about: 1) protecting the innocent and punishing the guilty (25:1), 2) equity (25:2-3, 4 w/1Co 9:9 = Paul’s use of Deu 25:4 reveals the W[h]GO?/WT[t]P? interpretation of Scripture to be the correct hermeneutic; see also Rom 15:4), 3) the preservation of future generations (25:5-10, 11-12; Levirate marriage was for the purpose of preserving the tribes of Israel unto Messiah – verse 6 w/Mal 2:15; sandal and spitting – see Rut 4:8-10), 4)...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/UXGjftzm8Yw--IISwUKe6A6-CX1YtARptisfLmFJFoI/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS81Zjc4/MmNmNTMxZjNmOTgw/YjA1NWRhYmMxMTNl/YmE1Zi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
