- Why:
- "² It¹ hath been said,ª°² Whosoeverªª shall put awayª° his²¹ wife,ª let him giveª° herª a writing of divorcement:ª" {Mtt 5:31} + "When¹ a manª hath takenª° a wife,ª and marriedª° her, and it come to pass¹ that¹ she findª° no¹ favourª in his eyes,ª because¹ he hath foundª° someª uncleannessª in her: then let him writeª° her a billª of divorcement,ª and giveª° [it] in her hand,ª and sendª° her out of his house.ª¹ ... Her formerª husband,ª which¹ sent her away,ª° mayª° not¹ takeª° her againª° to be¹ his wife,ª after² that¹¹ she is defiled;ª° for¹ that¹ [is] abominationª beforeª the LORD:ª and thou shalt not¹ cause¹ the landª to sin,ª° which¹ the LORDª thy Godª givethª° thee [for] an inheritance.ª" {Deu 24:1-4} + "Thus¹ saithª° the LORD,ª Where¹ [is] the billª of your mother'sª divorcement,ª whom¹ I have put away?ª° or¹ which¹ of my creditorsª°¹ [is it] to whom¹ I have soldª° you? Behold,¹ for your iniquitiesª have ye sold²° yourselves,¹ and for your transgressionsª is your motherª put away.ª°" {Isa 50:1} + "And I saw,ª° when¹ for¹ all¹ the causesª whereby¹ backslidingª Israelª committed adulteryª° I had put her away,ª° and givenª°¹ her¹ a billª of divorce;ª yet her treacherousª° sisterª Judahª fearedª° not,¹ but went²°¹ and played the harlotª° also.¹" {Jer 3:8} + "Andª they¹ said,ª° Mosesª sufferedª° to writeª° a billª of divorcement,ª andª to put [her] away.ª°" {Mrk 10:4}
