PERSONAL LAWS.
Deuteronomy 24:1 When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favor 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.
IT COULD BE THAT THEY COULDN'T GET ALONG.
24:2 And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man's wife.
SHE WILL BE ALLOWED TO REMARRY.
24:3 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 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.
GOD DIVORCED ISRAEL (JER. 3:8) AND LEFT HER FREE TO REMARRY WHEN JESUS DIED ON THE CROSS.
THEREFORE, WE ARE FREE TO REMARRY UPON REPENTANCE.
24:5 When a man hath taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall he be charged with any business: but he shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer up his wife which he hath taken.
IN OTHER WORDS, A NEWLYWED NEEDS TO BOND WITH HIS WIFE AND BUILD HIS MARRIAGE UP FOR A YEAR, BEFORE HE IS GONE TO WAR.
24:6 No man shall take the nether or the upper millstone to pledge: for he taketh a man's life to pledge.
DON'T PUT A MAN OUT OF BUSINESS FOR A PLEDGE.
24:7 If a man be found stealing any of his brethren of the children of Israel, and maketh merchandise of him, or selleth him; then that thief shall die; and thou shalt put evil away from among you.
DON'T MAKE ANYONE A SLAVE TO MAKE MONEY.
24:8 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.
24:9 Remember what the LORD thy God did unto Miriam by the way, after that ye were come forth out of Egypt.
MIRIAM (MOSES SISTER) PARTICIPATED IN IDOL WORSHIP WITH AARON. GOD STRUCK HER DOWN WITH LEPROSY.
MAKE A NOTE OF NUMBERS 12:10.
24:10 When thou dost lend thy brother (A POOR BROTHER) anything, thou shalt not go into his house to fetch his pledge.
THE HOUSE IS HIS CASTLE. DO NOT GO INSIDE SOMEONE'S HOUSE TO ASK FOR SOMETHING HE PLEDGED TO YOU.
24:11 Thou shalt stand abroad, and the man to whom thou dost lend shall bring out the pledge abroad unto thee.
STAY IN THE YARD AND WAIT FOR HIM TO BRING YOU OF WHAT HE PLEDGED FOR A BUSINESS DEAL.
24:12 And if the man be poor, thou shalt not sleep with his pledge (UPPER GARMENT):
24:13 In any case thou shalt deliver him the pledge again when the sun goeth down, that he may sleep in his own raiment (THE RAIMENT GIVEN, IS NOT ONLY FOR DEBT, BUT AS A TOKEN THAT A BUSINESS PROMISE WILL BE KEPT), and bless thee: and it shall be righteousness unto thee before the LORD thy God.
A POOR MAN USES HIS GARMENT TO SLEEP AS WELL. DON'T TAKE THAT AWAY FROM HIM.
IN OTHER WORDS, DO NOT TAKE EVERYTHING SOMEONE HAS.
24:14 Thou shalt not oppress (DEFRAUD) an hired servant that is poor and needy, whether he be of thy brethren, or of thy strangers that are in thy land within thy gates:
24:15 At this 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.
YOU PAY YOUR EMPLOYEE AT THE END OF HIS WORK DAY. IF HE COMPLAINS TO ME YOU ARE IN TROUBLE.
24:16 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.
THE PARENTS DO NOT ANSWER FOR THEIR CHILDREN'S SINS AND VICE VERSA.
EVERYONE ANSWERS FOR THEIR OWN SINS.
MAKE A NOTE OF JER. 31:39.
24:17 Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of the stranger, nor of the fatherless; nor take a widow's raiment to pledge:
YOU SUPPOSE TO HELP THE NEEDY.
24:18 But thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt, and the LORD thy God redeemed thee thence: therefore I command thee to do this thing.
24:19 When thou cuttest down thine harvest (GRAIN) in thy field, and hast forgot a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go again to fetch it: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow: that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hands.
IF YOU FORGOT TO PICK ALL YOUR GRAIN UP FROM YOUR FIELD, DON'T GO BACK TO GET IT. LEAVE IT FOR THE NEEDY.
24:20 When thou beatest thine olive tree, thou shalt not go over the boughs again: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
LEAVE SOMETHING BEHIND FOR THE NEEDY.
24:21 When thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not glean it afterward: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
LEAVE SOME GRAPES FOR THE NEEDY.
24:22 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt: therefore I command thee to do this thing.
GOD'S LAWS ARE NOT ONLY THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
ALL THESE LAWS ARE NOT NAILED TO THE CROSS. BLOOD ORDINANCES AND SOME STATUTES ARE DONE AWAY.
HOWEVER, CHRIST IS THE SACRIFICIAL LAMB THAT UPON REPENTANCE WE CAN HAVE FORGIVENESS WHEN WE BREAK GOD'S LAW.
WE CANNOT CON GOD ; REPENTANCE MEANS A CHANGE OF HEART.
GOD BLESS
