“Again I passed by you and looked upon you and saw that your time was the time of love. And I spread My skirt over you and covered your nakedness. And I swore an oath to you and entered into a covenant with you, and you became Mine,” declares the Master יהוה.

Have we not all one Father? Did not one create us? Why do we act treacherously against one another, to profane the covenant of the fathers? Yehudah has acted treacherously, and an abomination has been done in Yisra’el and in Yerushalayim, for Yehudah has profaned what is set-apart to יהוה – which He had loved – and has married the daughter of a foreign mighty one. Let יהוה cut off from the tents of Ya’akov the man who does this – stirring up or answering, and bringing an offering to יהוה of hosts!
Malachi 2:10-12
![Page 13: Presented by: Ryan White](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/5681685e550346895ddea013/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
And this you have done a second time: you cover the altar of יהוה with tears, with
weeping and crying, because He no longer regards the offering, nor receives it with
pleasure from your hands.
Malachi 2:13-14
![Page 14: Presented by: Ryan White](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/5681685e550346895ddea013/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
And you said, “Why?” Because יהוה has been witness between you and the wife of your youth, against whom you have acted
treacherously, though she is your companion and your wife by covenant.
Malachi 2:13-14
![Page 15: Presented by: Ryan White](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/5681685e550346895ddea013/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
In the same way, husbands, live understandingly together, giving respect to
the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the favor of life, so
that your prayers are not hindered.
1 Peter 3:7
![Page 16: Presented by: Ryan White](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/5681685e550346895ddea013/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
And if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the belief and is worse than an
unbeliever.
1 Timothy 5:8

And did He not make one? And He had the remnant of the Spirit? And what is the one alone? He seeks a seed of Elohim. So you shall guard your spirit, and let none act treacherously against the wife of his youth.
Malachi 2:15
![Page 18: Presented by: Ryan White](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/5681685e550346895ddea013/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
“For I hate divorce,” said יהוה Elohim of Yisra’ĕl, “and the one who covers his
garment with cruelty,” said יהוה of hosts. “So you shall guard your spirit, and do
not act treacherously.” (The Scriptures 1998+)
Malachi 2:16

"If one hates and divorces," says Yahweh, God of Israel, "he covers his garments with violence," says Yahweh of Host,
"Therefore take heed to yourself and do not be faithless [against your wife]“

Due to poorer population, the bride-price was no longer paid; it was promised to the father of the bride and then paid if the man divorced the woman.
Fathers would give large dowries to ensure that the daughters would be self sufficient if death or divorce occurred.

Mishnah Ketubot 7.6These are to be divorced without receiving their Kethubah [Dowry]: a wife who transgresses the Law of Moses or [one who transgresses] Jewish practice. And what is [regarded as a wife`s transgression against] the Law of Moses? Feeding her husband with untithed food, having intercourse with him during the period of her menstruation, not setting apart her dough offering, or making vows and not fulfilling them.

And what [is deemed to be a wife`s transgression against] Jewish practice? Going out with uncovered head, spinning in the street or conversing with every man. Abba Saul said: [such transgressions include] also that of a wife who curses her husband`s parents in his presence. R. Tarfon said: also one who screams. And who is regarded a screamer? A woman whose voice can be heard by her neighbours when she speaks inside her house.

Mishnah Gittin 9.10Beth Shammai say: a man should not divorce his wife unless he has found her guilty of some unseemly conduct, as it says, because he hath found some unseemly thing in her. Beth Hillel, however, say [that he may divorce her] even if she has merely spoilt his food, since it says, because he hath found some unseemly thing in her. R. Akiba says, [He may divorce her] even if he finds another woman more beautiful than she is, as it says, it cometh to pass, if she find no favor in his eyes.

Matthew 19:3-6And the Pharisees came to Him, trying Him, and saying to Him, “Is it right for a man to put away his wife for every reason?” And He answering, said to them, “Did you not read that He who made them at the beginning made them male and female, and said, ‘For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? “So that they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what Elohim has joined together, let man not separate.”

Matthew 19:7-9They said to Him, “Why then did Mosheh command to give a certificate of divorce, and to put her away?” He said to them, “Because of the hardness of your hearts, Mosheh allowed you to put away your wives, but from the beginning it was not so. “And I say to you, whoever puts away his wife, except on the ground of whoring, and marries another, commits adultery. And whoever marries her who has been put away commits adultery.”

Matthew 19:10-12His taught ones said to Him, “If such is the case of the man with his wife, it is good not to marry.” And He said to them, “Not all receive this word, but only those to whom it has been given, for there are eunuchs who were so born from their mother’s womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the reign of the heavens.

1 Corinthians 7:1-4And concerning the matters you wrote to me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. But because of whoring, let each one have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband. Let the husband render to his wife what is her due, and likewise also the wife to her husband. The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. And likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does.

1 Corinthians 7:5-8Do not deprive one another except with agreement for a time, to give yourselves to fasting and prayer. And come together again so that Satan does not try you because of your lack of self-control. And I say this as a concession, not as a command. For I wish that all men were even as I myself. But each one has his own gift from Elohim, one in this way and another in that. And I say to the unmarried and to the widows: It is good for them if they remain even as I am

1 Corinthians 7:9-13but if they do not have self-control, let them marry, for it is better to marry than to burn. And to the married I command, not I, but the Master: A wife should not separate from a husband. But if she is indeed separated, let her remain unmarried or be restored to favour with her husband, and let a husband not send away a wife. And to the rest I say, not the Master: If any brother has an unbelieving wife, and she thinks well to live with him, let him not send her away. And a woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he thinks well to live with her, let her not send him away.

1 Corinthians 14-16For the unbelieving husband has been set-apart in the wife, and the unbelieving wife has been set-apart in the husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are set-apart. And, if the unbelieving one separates, let him separate himself. A brother or a sister has not been enslaved in such matters. But Elohim has called us to peace. For how do you know, O wife, whether you shall save your husband? Or how do you know, O husband, whether you shall save your wife?

Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, one lifts his companion up. But woe to him who is alone when he falls, for he has no one to help him up. Also, if two lie down together, they keep warm; but how does one keep warm by himself? Although one might be overpowered, two withstand him. And a threefold cord is not readily broken.
