Deuteronomy 21:1-22:30
Luke 9:51-10:12
Psalm 74:1-23
Proverbs 12:11
Question of the day: Why would God allow an Israelite to let his captive wife go if she didn't please him? Doesn't this fly in the face of God's vision of marriage?
God often made rules that spoke to the worst of the societal practices of the day. In this case, God was preserving the dignity of an individual who customarily would have been treated inhumanely. God's vision of marriage began as one man and one woman in Genesis, and ended with Paul exhorting the church to choose as their leaders those who were the husband of one wife.
