Return their cloak by sunset so that your neighbor may sleep in it

Deuteronomy 24:1-13

Her first husband, who divorced her, is not allowed to marry her again after she has been defiled. That would be detestable in the eyes of the Lord. Do not bring sin upon the land the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance.

Do not take a pair of millstones—not even the upper one—as security for a debt, because that would be taking a person’s livelihood as security.

If someone is caught kidnapping a fellow Israelite and treating or selling them as a slave, the kidnapper must die. You must purge the evil from among you.

When you make a loan of any kind to your neighbor, do not go into their house to get what is offered to you as a pledge. Stay outside and let the neighbor to whom you are making the loan bring the pledge out to you. If the neighbor is poor, do not go to sleep with their pledge in your possession. Return their cloak by sunset so that your neighbor may sleep in it. Then they will thank you, and it will be regarded as a righteous act in the sight of the Lord your God.

Moses is not instituting divorce, though there must be genuine grounds and the rejected wife must be given a certificate. The issues are remarriage and, perhaps, the protection of the second marriage. Contrast Jesus' teaching on divorce.

Even in exercising their rights. God's people are to be thoughtful of others. To take away one millstone, for example, left the other useless for grinding flour to make the day's bread. 

Why?

Treat the wife with love for God cares for us. Not even the divorce certificate, marriage is under the permission of the Lord.

Do not take a pair of millstones and treat kindly to our neighbor for our rich and property is the blessing of the Lord, Treat others kind to fee back to our Lord.

都在講愛的原則!

婚期第一年不要當兵屬於積極面!新婚的人最重要是他的妻子!要建立家庭!需要一年時間來管理磨合建立家庭,比國家大事還重要!社會國家的組成是家庭!沒有國還是有家,但是沒有家庭,一定沒有國!

休妻以後不可後悔。看到不合宜的事,可能是某些不雅的事,無關姦淫!只是前夫個人的喜好,沒有犯罪,婚姻不可因為個人喜好隨意說離婚,隨意對待自己的妻子。同樣對待教會弟兄姊妹,愛是不求自己的益處!

借貸也不可剝奪生存最基本的必須品!人基本生存權要被照顧到!拐賣入口也是禁止的。

米利暗不尊重摩西的家庭,愛是不帶給人麻煩!大麻瘋會傳染所以要

How?

Have mercy and love to our neighbor for we belong to the Lord.
