In society today, Marriage and the Family is on a steady decline because established religion (such as Catholic, Baptist, Protestant, etc.) in the church, has polluted it's true importance. Unfortunately, the Children Of Israel have also fallen prey to this decline because they refuse to obey the laws, statutes and commandments of the Most High. The Israelites were commanded by the Lord to separate themselves from the customs of the other nations, read II Corinthians 6:17, "Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate ( "separate" by not following their customs), saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing ( "touch not the unclean thing" meaning not taking part in anything which causes the breaking of any of the laws, for example the dietary laws. This also includes joining in their pagan ceremonies and holidays such as Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter and New Years Day celebrations, etc., see also Galatians 5: 19-21) and I Will receive you." Also, read Revelation 18:4-5 and Ecclesiasticus 13:11-18. The true importance of marriage, according to the Bible is written in Hebrews 13:4, "Marriage is honourable in all ("honourable" as a blessing between a man and a woman only, see Leviticus 20:13 and Romans 1:20-27), and the bed undefiled ( "the bed undefiled" because the two of them become one flesh according to the laws, Matthew 19:4-6): but whoremongers and adulterers ( "whoremongers and adulterers" meaning a man having sexual relations with more than one woman but does not take them as a wife, read Exodus 21:10, or a woman that has sex with a man other than her husband. Read Deuteronomy 23:17 and Mark 10:11-12). God will Judge (Leviticus 20:10).

Marriage was ordained by the Most High, in the book of Genesis 2:24, Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. The first marriage began with Adam and Eve becoming "one flesh." Proverbs 18:22, Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing (a man that "findeth a woman that obeys the laws, statutes and commandments is a "good thing"), and obtaineth favour of the LORD (“obtaineth favour" meaning their marriage will be blessed by the Most High). Also, read Ecclesiasticus 25:8 and Proverbs 31:10-31.

Jeremiah 29:6, "Take ye wives, and beget sons and daughters: and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands that they may bear sons and daughters; that may be increased there (the "there" was Jerusalem). and not diminished. Ecclesiasticus 7:25, "Marry thy daughter and so shall thou have performed a weighty matter (nowadays, fathers are no longer performing the "weighty matter" Of choosing husbands for their daughters and teaching their children the laws of marriage): but give her to a man of understanding ( "a man who keeps the laws of the Most High). Also read, Ecclesiasticus 7:26 and 36:24.

There are different laws of marriage depending on whether a daughter is betrothed (A woman engaged promised in marriage by her father to another man) Or not. An example of a father betrothing his daughter in marriage can be found in the Apocryphal book Of Tobit. The marriage was first sealed on paper by the parents, Tobit 7:13-14, "Then he called his daughter Sara, and she came to her father, and he took her by the hand, and gave her ( "gave her" meaning betrothed her) to be wife to Tobias, saying, Behold, take her after the law of Moses, and lead her away to thy father. And he blessed them: Verse 14, And called Edna his Wife, and took paper, and did write an instrument of covenants, and sealed it.” These verses prove that the father along with his wife sanctions the marriage according to the law, not the so-called preacher or justice of the peace. The actual marriage vows and ceremony according to the Bible are as follows: Tobit 8:4-8, "And after that they were both shut in together, Tobias rose out of the bed, and said, Sister, arise, and let us pray that God would have pity On u.s. Verse 5, Then began Tobias to say, Blessed art thou, O God of our fathers, and blessed is thy holy and glorious name for ever; let the heavens bless thee, and all thy creatures.

Verse 6, Thou madest Adam, and gayest him Eve his wife for an helper and stay: of them came mankind: thou hast said, It is not good that man should be alone; let us make unto him an aid like unto himself. Verse 7, And now, O Lord, I take not this my sister for lust ( "for lust" meaning for sex only, Ecclesiasticus 25:21, "Stumble not at the beauty of a woman, and desire her not for pleasure.) but uprightly: therefore mercifully ordain that we may become aged together. Verse 8, And she said with him, Amen. These are the correct wedding vows that are to be said by a man and his wife alone, not by a so-called priest or pastor in a church. Afterwards, a wedding feast (wedding ceremony) can be held, Tobit 8:19-20, "And he kept the wedding feast fourteen days. Verse 20, For before the days of the marriage Here finished, Raguel had said unto him by an oath, that he should not depart till the fourteen days of the marriage were expired;

The following Scriptures give an understanding of marriage when a daughter is not betrothed. Exodus 22:16, "And if a man entice a maid that is not betrothed and lie with her ( "lie with her" means have sexual intercourse), he shall surely endow her to be his wife. TO "endow" refers to the dowry (which was fifty shekels of silver) that the man was supposed to give to the woman's father. Note: Nowadays (if it is possible), the Israelite man should go and talk to the father of the woman before he lies with her. If he has already laid with her, it is then up to the two men to decide what the dowry should be (for example: money, jewelry, etc.).

Deuteronomy 22:28-29, "If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found ( "be found" meaning they be caught); Verse 29, Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver and she shall be his wife: because he hath humbled her ( "humbled her" by lying with her making her his wife), he may not put her away all his days ( put her away" referring to divorce). Note: It is very difficult for an Israelite man to "find" a woman that is a "virgin" in today's society. Therefore, the "virgin" that an Israelite man should seek is a woman willing to repent as it is written in II Corinthians 5:17 and Romans 8:1.

After Careful Study of the scriptures written above, the reader should now be aware that the Israelites are now following the religious Customs of the nations in the churches (Such as the wedding vows and ceremony) and not according to "as it is written." Read Revelation 22:18-19 and Isaiah 29:13. It should also be noted that although sexual intercourse between a man and woman begins a marriage according to the Bible (Deuteronomy 22:28-29), a virgin who his betrothed that has intercourse with another man is guilty of adultery. Therefore, marriage also begins with the act of betrothal and not with sex only, Deuteronomy 22:23-27.

Note: The Israelite man and woman were commanded by the Most High, not to marry the other nations nor give their sons Or daughters in marriage to them. Proof of this can be found in the book of Tobit 4:12-13, "Beware of all whoredom, my son, and chiefly take a wife of the seed of thy fathers, and take not a strange woman to wife, which is not of thy father's tribe: for we are the children of the prophets, Noe, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: remember, my son, that our fathers from the beginning, even that they all married wives of their own kindred ( "kindred" meaning fellow Israelites), and were blessed in their children, and their seed shall inherit the land. Verse 13, Now therefore, my son, love thy brethren, and despise not in thy heart thy brethren, the sons and daughters of thy people, in not taking a wife of them: for in pride is destruction and much trouble, and in lewdness is decay and great want: for lewdness is the mother of famine (Also read I Esdras 8:69-70 and Malachi 2: 11-12). Therefore, interracial marriage is forbidden according to the Bible.

The following scriptures reveal the duties of marriage for a husband and a wife. Contrary to so-called American traditions and beliefs, marriage is not a 50-50 relationship, it is 100% a man ruling his household according to the laws of the Most High and the woman submitting herself to them. Read Ecclesiasticus 25:21.

Duties of The Husband

Ephesians 5:28-31, "So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He

that loveth his wife loveth himself Verse 29. For no man ever yet hated his Own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: Verse 30, For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones ( "the his" is referring to Jesus Christ – YA-HA-WA-SHI, I Corinthians 6:15-16) Verse 31, For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife ( "joined” in marriage), and they two shall be one flesh (Genesis 2:24). Colossians 3:19, "Husbands, love your wives and be not bitter against them ( "bitter," meaning being hostile or unforgiving when she makes a mistake concerning the keeping of the law).” I Peter 3:7, "Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge (the "knowledge" of the laws which he must teach her), giving honor unto the wife (“honor” her as a blessing from the Most High, and as it is written in Ecclesiasticus 36:24), as unto the weaker vessel ("the weaker vessel" because she is more subject unto sin than the man, read Ecclesiasticus 25:24 and Genesis 3:1. Also, the scriptures state that the man is the head of the woman in I Corinthians 11:3, "But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.” Also read, Ezekiel 34:31) and as being heirs together ("heirs together" as husband and wife) of the grace Of life; that your prayers be not hindered (their prayers would be "hindered" if they are not on one accord in following the laws; see Proverbs 15:29, Ecclesiasticus 25:1 and St. John 9:31)." Also, read the following scriptures concerning the responsibilities of the husband, Ephesians 5:25, Ecclesiastes 9:9 and Proverbs 5:18.

Duties of The Wife

Genesis 3:16, "Unto the woman (Eve) he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception (because she committed sin, by following the doctrine Of Satan and teaching it to Adam, Genesis 3:6): in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children (the "sorrow" is the pain that women experience during childbirth); and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee ("rule over thee" according to the law). Psalms 45:10, "Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine Own people, and thy father's house"; This verse proves that a woman is not subject any longer to her father after marriage. The wife according to the Bible, is to "consider" and "incline thine ear" to her husband and not her family, friends or so-called preacher. This is contrary to what is taught in American society, which is why there is such an high level of divorce. Also read, Genesis 2:24 and I Peter 3:1.

Ephesians 5:22, Wives, submit yourselves unto your Own husbands ("your own Husbands” and not the so-called priest or preacher in the false churches. Also, she is to "submit" inwardly as well as outwardly; as unto the Lord (by "submitting" to her husband, a wife is obeying the Most High). I Timothy 5:14, "I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully. In other words, in her obeying the Bible by marrying, childbearing and guiding the house those who are "adverse" to the gospel of Christ, cannot speak against her.

I Timothy 2:15, "Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they ("they" meaning both the husband and wife) continue in faith ("faith in Christ and charity ("charity" meaning being sincere) and holiness with sobriety ("holiness and sobriety" in obeying the laws). Also, read I Peter 3:1 and I Timothy 3:11.

Finally, Jesus Christ (YAHAWA-SHI) spake concerning marriage in Matthew 19:4, "And he answered and said unto them ( "them are the Pharisees, who the teachers of the law), Have ye not read, that he (the Most High) which made them ( "them" referring to Adam and Eve) at the beginning made them male and female, Verse 5, "And said, For this cause shall man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh ("one flesh" not 50/50, but 100%)? Verse 6, "Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh ("one flesh" as in joined together in marriage). What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder ( "let no man put “asunder" as in divorce, which will be explained further in this writing).

Duties of Parents

As concerning the Israelite Family, it is out of order because parents are not raising their children according to the laws, statutes and commandments of the Most High. Hosea 4:6, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge ("knowledge" Of the laws): because thou hast rejected knowledge ( "rejected by not keeping the commandments), I will also reject thee ( "reject meaning by the punishments recorded in Deuteronomy 28:15-68), that thou shall be no priest to me (in order to be a "priest" of the Most High, an Israelite man must not only know the laws but live them - Romans 2:13, "For no the hearers Of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. seeing thou has/ forgotten the law of thy God. I will also forget thy children). Therefore, many Israelite children are victims of violence (see Amos 7:17, Jeremiah 9:21 and Isaiah 51:20), high unemployment and imprisonment, including the increasing number of households headed by women (Isaiah 3:12, "As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people. they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.) Also, children no longer obey the fifth (5th) commandment (Exodus 20:12), read Micah 7:6, "For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law; a man's enemies are the men ( "the men meaning his wife and children) of his Own house. The following scriptures provide a remedy for these conditions by instructing the Twelve (12) Tribes Of Israel, of the duties Of parents in raising their families.

Psalms 127:3, Lo, children are an heritage ("an heritage" as in a blessing) of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward (the "fruit Of the womb means having children is a gift from the Most High). Psalms 78:5-7, "For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers ( "he commanded our fathers through Moses, in Deuteronomy 4:5-6), that they should make them known to their children: Verse 6, That the generation to come might know them ( "know" the laws, Statutes and commandments, Deuteronomy 4:9-10), even the children which should be born: who should arise and declare them to their children ("declare them meaning the testimonies would be passed down throughout their generations): Verse 7, That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:” Deuteronomy 6:4—8, "Hear, O Israel ("O Israel" as in all twelve tribes): The LORD our God is one LORD ("one Lord" because there are no Other gods, read Isaiah 45:5): Verse 5, And thou shall love the LORD thy God with all thine heart ( "all thine heart" and not with the mouth, see Isaiah 29:13 and Jeremiah 17:9), and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. Verse 6, And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart ( "heart" meaning mind): Verse 7, And thou ( "thou” both parents) shall reach them diligently unto thy children, and shall talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liesest down, and when thou risest up (in Other words, to live life according to them). Verse 8, And thou shall bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes ( "between thine” meaning keep the laws in mind and walk in them). Also, read Deuteronomy 30:1-3.

Ecclesiasticus 7:23, "Hast thou children? instruct them, and bow down their neck” ( "bow down their neck" to keep all the laws and What is most important, follow Jesus Christ(St. John 14:15) from their youth. Also, read Ecclesiasticus 33: 19-21.

Proverbs 22:6, 15, "Train up a child in the way he should go ( "train " meaning parents must teach their children to walk in the laws, statutes and commandments when they are young), and when he is Old, he will not depart from it. Verse 15, Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child ( "foolishness" is to act immaturely) but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him. The "rod of correction" is referring to teaching children the laws and disciplining them when they disobey.

Proverbs 23:13-14, "Withhold not correction from the child ("withhold not correction meaning children must be corrected with the laws written in the

Bible): for if thou beatest ( "beatest" as in spanking, not CHILD ABUSE) him with the rod ( "rod" meaning your hand or a belt, and not a stick or brick, etc), he shall not die, Verse 14, 'Thou shall beat him with the rod, and shall deliver his soul from hell (the "hell" is the punishments of the Most High which rebellious children will receive). Also, read Proverbs 22: 15 and Ecclesiasticus 30:8-13.

Note: The Heavenly Father commanded us to punish our children ONLY when
they misbehave using the "rod”. He did not give us a license in Proverbs 23:13-14, to abuse the sons and daughters of Israel.

Ephesians 6:4, "And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath ( "to wrath by abusing them): but bring them up in the nurture ( "nurture" as in training them in the laws of the Most High, read Colossians 3:21) and admonition ( "admonition " meaning correction) of the Lord”

Ecclesiasticus 30:3, "He that teacheth his son grieveth the enemy... It is
grievous to the "enemy" mainly in America, when an Israelite father and mother teaches their children according to the laws, statutes and commandments written in the Bible. Proof of this are the laws being passed and the organizations such as the Bureau Of child Welfare, that prevent parents from properly disciplining their children.

I Timothy 3:4-5, "One ("One" referring to a husband) that ruleth well his own
house, having his children in subjection ( "in subjection to the laws ) with all gravity; Verse 5, (For if a man know not how to rule his own house [ "rule his own house" as husband and father], how shall he take care Of the church of God ["take care" as in teach "the church of God" which is the congregation of the Most High, who are Israelites - Amos 3:2])?" Also read, Ecclesiasticus 7:24-25.

Titus 2:3-5, "The aged women likewise ( "aged" referring to maturity, as well as in their knowledge and keeping Of the laws), that they be in behavior as becometh holiness ( "becometh holiness" by obeying the laws in truth and not hypocrites), not false accusers ( "false accusers" as in not lying or spreading false rumors and gossip), not given to much wine ( "much wine" meaning drinking in moderation, see Ecclesiasticus 31 :28), teachers of good things (the "good things" are teaching the other women and children the laws, statutes and commandments); Verse 4, That they may teach the young women to be sober ("sober" means teach the women to be serious in obeying the Most High), to love their husbands ( "love their husbands according to the laws Of marriage), to love their children ( "love their children by teaching them the laws taught to her by her husband), Verse 5, TO be discreet ( "discreet" as in separating from those who break the commandments), chaste ( "chaste" by obeying the laws out of a pure heart), keepers at home ( "keepers at home" by guiding her household as it states in I Timothy 5:14), good ( "good" in righteousness), obedient to their own husbands (submitting to "their own husbands" meaning no Other man, according to Ephesians 5:22), that the word of God (the "word of God" is Christ - St. John 1 : 1) be not blasphemed ( "be not blasphemed" in that no one can speak against Christ). Also, read Psalms 113:9.

Duties of Children

In order to complete this section on the Israelite family, the responsibilities Of sons and daughters must be explained. Children are commanded by the Most High, to honor and obey their parents and the following scriptures outline their duties. Exodus 20: 12, "Honour thy father and thy mother (children are to "honor" their parents by obeying the laws, statutes and commandments which are to be taught to them in their youth): that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee (the "land" was Israel, which the children of Israel were cast out Of because they disobeyed the laws Of the Most High). Also, read Exodus 21:15 and Leviticus 20:9.

Ecclesiasticus 3:1-8, "Hear me your father, O children ( "O children" of Israel), and do thereafter ( "do thereafter" meaning keep the laws), that ye may be safe. Verse 2, For the Lord hath given the father honor ( "honor" as in rulership) over the children, and hath confirmed the authority of the mother over the sons. Verse 3, Whoso honoureth his father ( "honoureth his father" by obeying him) maketh an atonement for his sins ( "the Atonement" is that the Most High will forgive his sins): Verse 4, And he that honoureth his mother is as one that layeth up treasure (the "treasure" is the blessings that he will receive). Verse 5, Whoso honoureth his father shall have joy of his own children ( "the joy" is that he will be blessed with children); and when he maketh his prayer, he shall be heard (he "shall be heard" because the Most High hears the prayers of a righteous man, read I Peter 3:12). Verse 6, He that honoureth his father shall have a long life; and he that is obedient unto the Lord shall be a comfort to his mother. Verse 7, He that feareth (Ecclesiasticus 1 : 14) the Lord will honour his father, and will do service unto his parents, as to his masters. Verse 8, Honour thy father and mother both in word and deed, that a blessing may come upon thee from them.”

Proverbs 20:11, "Even a child is known by his doings, Whether his work be pure, and whether it be right ("pure" and "right" means obeying the words of Christ, read Matthew 11:29-30, "Take my yoke upon you ("yoke upon you" meaning keep the laws, statutes and commandments), and learn of me ( "learn by studying the Bible); for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. Verse 30, For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light (“light" because it is not hard to obey the words of YAHA WA-SHI(Christ))." Also, read Proverbs 23:22, Ecclesiastes 12:l, Ephesians 6:1 and Colossians 3:20.

By obeying all Of the previous Scriptures, the Heavenly Father will begin to bless the Nation Of Israel in their families according to their works- Deuteronomy 27:26, "Cursed be he that confirmeth not all the words of this law to do them. And all the people shall say, Amen.

MARRIAGE II - Adultery, Divorce and Fornication

The true understanding Of what adultery is according to the Bible, has also been lost due to the lies taught by established religion (Catholic, Baptist, Born Again etc.). Likewise also, the meaning of fornication and the extremely high rate of divorce has broken down the Israelite family. The Nation of Israel committed spiritual adultery against the Most High (see Wisdom of Solomon 14:12, "For the devising of idols was the beginning of spiritual fornication and the invention of them the corruption of life. Also read Jeremiah 3:9 and Ezekiel 23:37), which has caused the same judgment to be passed upon them. Read Hosea 4:12-14, "My people ask counsel at their stocks ( "stocks" as in idols/different religions), and their staff declareth unto them ( "the staff declareth unto them" through the different religious philosophies): for the spirit of whoredoms hath caused them to err, and they have gone a whoring from under their God. Verse 13, They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and elms, because the shadow thereof is good ( "they sacrifice" referring to the worshiping of idols- Leviticus 26:1, and "err" by breaking the laws, statutes and commandments. They also go "whoring" after the customs of the other nations, believing that their sins are covered): therefore your daughters shall commit whoredom and your spouses shall commit adultery (which are Sins the Israelites "commit" today). Verse 14, I will not punish your daughters when they commit whoredom, nor your spouses when they commit adultery: for themselves are separated with whores, and they sacrifice with harlots (these prophecies were fulfilled, see Isaiah 31:9-11 and Matthew 5:32): therefore the people that doth not understand shall fall (and the Israelites did "fall" and are now in captivity). Therefore, the Israelites must return back to the Most High Out of a pure heart (Psalms 19:8 and Matthew 5:8), which is the only way they will be allowed to keep his laws, statutes and commandments through Christ (see II Corinthians 5:17, "Therefore if any man be in (Christ, he is a new creature: Old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new [Also read Romans 8:11]).

When a man has more than one wife (Deuteronomy 21:15), he is not committing adultery. He is only breaking the law (written in Exodus 20:14) if he does not provide for his wives (Exodus 21:10) and a women is guilty if she has sexual relations with any man outside Of her husband. Also, the Apocrypha, speaks of how a woman is not to act if her husband has another wife: Ecclesiasticus 26:6, "But a grief of heart and sorrow ( "grief' to her husband) is a woman that is jealous over another woman, and a Scourge Of the tongue which communicateth with all"

Of most importance to the Israelite man are the following scriptures: Isaiah 4:1, "And in that day ( "that day" meaning in today's society, Hosea 6: 1-2) seven women shall lake hold of one man (a "man who has repented through Christ [Mark 1: 15], and is keeping the laws, statutes and commandments as they are written - see also, Isaiah 13:12), saying, We will eat our own bread, and Wear our Own apparel (women in the past could not "eat their own bread" and "wear their own apparel" because men ruled and provided for them. In today's society, this has changed, see Jeremiah 31 :22): only let us be called by thy name ( "thy name" meaning the name of the husband, Tobit 3:7-8), to take away our reproach (their "reproach" is the breaking Of the laws by not submitting to the laws of the man being head over the woman, I Corinthians 11:3.2). "Therefore, the Israelite man is commanded by the Most High to fulfill what is written in I Timothy 3:1-2, "This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop ( "bishop as in "head" over a congregation and teacher of the law), he desireth a good work. Verse 2, A bishop then must be blameless ( "blameless" according to the law), the husband of one wife ( "the husband of one wife" meaning being a husband to each wife separately because they are one flesh, Genesis 2:24), vigilant ( "viligant" meaning watchful over himself according to the law and Over the congregation), sober ( "sober" meaning serious in keeping and teaching the laws, statutes and commandments), of good behaviour ( "good behaviour" according to Psalms 101:1-2), given to hospitality ( "hospitality" as in kind, see Leviticus 19:18), apt to teach ( "apt" as in ready and capable to "teach” read II Timothy 4:2);" This law also applies to deacons (who are to become "bishops”) read verses 8-13.

Jesus Christ (YAHAW AH-SHI), taught the Israelites concerning adultery, divorce and fornication in Matthew 19:3-9, "The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause ( "every cause" concerning the law)? Verse 4, And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female (Genesis 5:2), Verse 5, And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh (Genesis 2:24)? Verse 6, Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh (married). What therefore God hath joined together ("together" in marriage), let not man put asunder ( "put asunder" as in divorce). Verse 7, They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away (see Deuteronomy 24: l, "When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement and give it in her hand and send her out Of his house. Verse 2, And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man's wife)? Verse 8, He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts (Colossians 3: 19) suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. Verse 9, And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife ( "put away" as in divorce her), except be for fornication ( "fornication" includes adultery (her sleeping with another man, but this verse means to "put away" for any cause unlawfully. A wife can only be "put away" if she breaks the laws, statutes and commandments and refuses to repent, for example: by worshiping other gods (religions, philosophies and idols, etc. or breaking the dietary laws ([eating pork or shrimp, etc.]), and shall marry another, committeth adultery (Mark 10:11) and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery ( "commit adultery" because a woman can only remarry if her husband is dead [Romans 7:2—3, "For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband Verse 3, So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law: so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man]). The correct understanding of what fornication is, can be explained further in Leviticus 18:6-23.

Shalam!
