Deuteronomy 18:16
18:16 This accords with what happened at Horeb in the day of the assembly. You asked the Lord your God: “Please do not make us hear the voice of the Lord our 1 God any more or see this great fire any more lest we die.”
Deuteronomy 24:4
24:4 her first husband who divorced her is not permitted to remarry 2 her after she has become ritually impure, for that is offensive to the Lord. 3 You must not bring guilt on the land 4 which the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance.
1 tn The Hebrew text uses the collective singular in this verse: “my God…lest I die.”
2 tn Heb “to return to take her to be his wife.”
3 sn The issue here is not divorce and its grounds per se but prohibition of remarriage to a mate whom one has previously divorced.
4 tn Heb “cause the land to sin” (so KJV, ASV).
