  1. If the man accusing the woman was wrong, (even if he had a punishment), why would the woman be forced to stay or even want to remain with a man who has accused her of being unfaithful????
    If it were me I would have such shame, distrust, hurt and how could you trust him again??
    Perhaps he would accuse her again. Some don’t want to ask this but I want to understand.

  2. I had a long comment typed out but I am not sure it’s worth it or not. I have so many questions and am having a hard time reconciling what was said here with other verses in the New Testament … like the Lord says: let not the wife depart from her husband. But if she does, let her remain single or be reconciled to her husband. And how Yeshua said the two become ONE flesh. They are NO MORE two but one.

    Really it’s all about forgiveness. We cannot say we truly forgive the offending spouse if we divorce them and then go find someone else. Yeshua taught that if we do not forgive we will not be forgiven. If we go find someone else and marry them, what we are really telling our spouse is that they will never repent and we will never forgive them.

    We are to remain single and serve the Lord. As long as our spouse is alive, we must pray for their repentance and returning to the Lord. Maybe some day they will repent and want to reconcile? A picture of the prodigal son. What if the prodigal son’s father said, “Oh, sorry son, I already have someone else. I forgive you but you cannot come back.” That just does not fit, does it? That’s not really forgiveness. What if Christ said that to us if we slipped and fell and then realized our sin, repented and wanted to return to him? “I forgive you but I cannot take you back because I already have someone else.” No. It is just not right. Christ wants us to return to him and we must have the same heart as he does.

    Understanding Torah, there is a more fundamental challenge and that is the aspect of a persons word, or as some would like to have the aspect of your “yes” being yes and “no” being no.
    Once you understand that and the blood covenant in the context of marriage, it may help with bringing more perspective.
