The Lord saith these things, What is this book of forsaking of your mother, by which I let go her? either who is he, to whom I owe, to whom I sold you? For lo! ye be sold for your wickednesses, and for your great trespasses I let go your mother.
that for the adversary, Israel, did adultery, I had let her go, and I had given to her a libel, or a little book, of forsaking; and Judah, her sister, breaker of the law, dreaded not, but also she went, and did fornication.
If a man taketh a wife, and hath her, and she findeth not grace before his eyes for some vileness, or unclean-ness, he shall write a little book of forsaking, and he shall give it in her hand, and he shall deliver her from his house.
the former husband shall not be able to receive her again into wife, for she is defouled, and made abominable before the Lord; lest thou make thy land to do sin, which thy Lord God hath given thee to wield.
