Deuteronomy 24:2

24:2 When she has left him she may go and become someone else’s wife.

Deuteronomy 24:9

24:9 Remember what the Lord your God did to Miriam along the way after you left Egypt.


tn Heb “his house.”

sn What the Lord your God did to Miriam. The reference is to Miriam’s having contracted leprosy because of her intemperate challenge to Moses’ leadership (Num 12:1-15). The purpose for the allusion here appears to be the assertion of the theocratic leadership of the priests who, like Moses, should not be despised.
