Deuteronomy 24:4

Context
24:4 her first husband who divorced her is not permitted to remarry 1  her after she has become ritually impure, for that is offensive to the Lord. 2  You must not bring guilt on the land 3  which the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance.

Deuteronomy 26:2

Context
26:2 you must take the first of all the ground’s produce you harvest from the land the Lord your God is giving you, place it in a basket, and go to the place where he 4  chooses to locate his name. 5 

1 tn Heb “to return to take her to be his wife.”

2 sn The issue here is not divorce and its grounds per se but prohibition of remarriage to a mate whom one has previously divorced.

3 tn Heb “cause the land to sin” (so KJV, ASV).

4 tn Heb “the Lord your God.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

5 sn The place where he chooses to locate his name. This is a circumlocution for the central sanctuary, first the tabernacle and later the Jerusalem temple. See Deut 12:1-14 and especially the note on the word “you” in v. 14.
