Does YaHuWaH Allow Remarriage After Divorce?


By Maria Merola
Copyright Double Portion Inheritance,September 2008
http://www.DoublePortionInheritance.com

*Disclaimer:
The entire point of this article is
not to say that YaHuWaH
condones divorce for any reason.
The entire point of this study is for
all of those (including myself) who
have been divorced wrongfully and
against their will by a cheating
spouse.
If you are a victim of being
divorced by a cheating spouse, and
you have been made to feel that you can never remarry, just because of some mistranslatedwords taken
out of context in Matthew 5 & Matthew 19, then this article is for you! This article is by no means
condoning divorce for any reason. This study is merely to show that the innocent party who did not want
the divorce is allowed to remarry!
Ever since I can remember, I have heard people in the Christian Churches quoteMalachi 2:16and they
would often sayGod hates divorce. This phrase was often used as if to say those who were divorced
(even if they were the innocent party that did not want the divorce) were somehow in sin for having been
divorced by their spouse. While it is true that YaHuWaH hates it when a family is torn apart and a
Marriage Covenant is broken, it is not true that divorce is always a sin in every case. We read about Joseph
(the earthly father of our Messiah) and he was a righteous man intending to divorce his betrothed (wife to
be) Mary (Miryam):
Mattithyahuw (Matthew) 1:
18 Now the birth of Yahuwshuwa Mashiyach (Messiah) was on this wise: When as his mother Miryam (Mary) was
espoused toYahuwceph(Joseph), before they came together, she was found with child of the Ruwach haQodesh (Holy
Spirit).

19 ThenYahuwceph(Joseph)her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example,
was minded to put her away privily.
20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of YHWH appeared unto him in a dream,
saying,Yahuwceph(Joseph), you son of Dawiyd (David), fear not to take unto you Miryam (Mary) your wife: for
that which is conceived in her is of the Ruwach haQodesh (Holy Spirit).
Joseph was a just man and yet he was planning to put away Mary (Miryam) privately because he did not
want to cause her shame or to have her stoned to death. If Mary (Miryam) had committed adultery, then
Joseph would have had a just cause to divorce her. But as he was visited by the Angel of YaHuWaH, he
soon found out that she was not an adulteress, but she had conceived by the power of the Ruwach
haQodesh (Holy Spirit). This goes to show that divorcing a woman who had committed adultery was not
a sin according to Deuteronomy 24.
Ever since I was a child raised in the Catholic Church, I was always taught that if one was divorced that he
or she could never again re-marry or else they would be committing adultery.
This false conclusion stems from the modern Bible translators wrong interpretation of the Hebrew &
Greekdivorcewords for and putting away in Matthew 5,Matthew 19 & Malachi 2:16.Few people
realize that these are two completely different words with different meanings in both Hebrew & Greek.
The King James Version, the Hebrew Masoretic Text, and the Greek Textus Receptus interprets these words
correctly, whereas all modern translations do not trans-late these words properly from Hebrew to English,
thus leaving the reader to come to a false conclusion.
When I was born again in 1981, I was confronted by those in the Pentecostal HolinessChurches that
placed condemnation on me because I married a divorced man. But my former husband at the time had an
ex-wife who had already remarried another man, so there was no hope for him to reconcile with her and I
made sure of this before I married him. People in the Pentecostal Holiness Churches often cited verses that
our Messiah quoted in the gospels to prove to me that I was an adulteress by being married to a divorced
man.
But what I did not know back then that I do know now, is that there are two different words in Hebrew
fordivorceandput away.
In the Strongs Hebrew Concordance we see what these two different words are:
# 7971. shalachshaw-lakh a primitive root;to send away, for, or out (in a great variety of applications):-any wise, appoint, bring (on the way),cast away,cast out, conduct, earnestly, forsake, give (up), grow
long, lay, leave, let depart (down, go, loose), push away,put away, forth, in, out, reach forth,send away,
send forth, out), set, shoot (forth, out), sow, spread, stretch forth (out).
# 3748. kriythuwthker-ee-thooth from 3772;a cutting of the matrimonial bond,
i.e.divorce:--divorcement).
We see above that the wordshalachmeans to simplysend away without a certificate of divorce.This
means that some men were sending their wives out of their homes or separating from them without giving
them a legal divorce certificate. YaHuWaH hated this because these women were left hanging in limbo
and could not remarry.

We also see another word in the Hebrew Scriptures kriythuwthwhich means tocut the matrimonial
bondortodivorce.
Now, with that foundation laid, lets see what theKing James Versionsays in Malachi 2:16:
Malakiy (Malachi) 2:16:For YHWH, the Elohiym of Yisrael, says thathe hates putting away [shalach]: for one
covers violence with his garment, says YHWH of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that you deal not
treacherously.
Now lets compare this verse inMalachi 2:16in some of the modern translations:
New King James Version:
16For the LORD God of Israel says ThatHe hates divorce, For it covers ones garment with violence, Says the
LORD of hosts.
New International Version:
16 The man whohates and divorces his wife, says the LORD, the God of Israel, does violence to the one he
should protect, says the LORD Almighty.
New American Standard Version:
16 ForI hate divorce, says the LORD, the God of Israel, and him who covers his garment with wrong, says the
LORD of hosts. So take heed to your spirit, that you do not deal treacherously.
Now lets take a look at the Oldest Hebrew Translation:
Malachi 2:16

#7971

You will notice that the wordshalach (put away) is used here #7971. It mentions nothing
aboutElohiym hating divorce!It simply says that he hatesshalach(putting away).
This means that YaHuWaH hates it when a man separates from his wife and marries another woman
without legally divorcing the first wife. This is not to say that YaHuWaH is okay with men cheating on
their wives. This of course is a sin. But if the man is going to commit adultery and marry another woman,
the very least he could do is to give his first wife a certificate of divorce and this would allow her to
remarry. SoDoes YaHuWaH really hate divorce in all cases?NO!
What YaHuWaH hates is the fact that husbands were separating from their wives without having a just
cause, and to top it all off they were not even making it legal by giving them a certificate of divorce which
would enable them to get remarried. This is what YaHuWaH hates!
YaHuWaH does not ALWAYS HATE DIVORCE WHEN IT IS FOR A JUST CAUSE:
How can we be sure that YaHuWaH does not hate divorce in all cases? We find out that YaHuWaH
himself is divorced from Yisrael:
Yirmeyahuw (Jeremiah) 3:8And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Yisrael committed adulteryI
had put her away [shalach], and given her a bill of divorce [kriythuwth];yet her treacherous sister Yahuwdah
(Judah) feared not, but went and played the harlot also.

Notice that he did two things:


1.)Put her away
2.)Wrote her a bill of divorce
He did not merely put her away but he made it legal and wrote her a divorce decree!
Debariym (Deuteronomy) 24:
1 When a man has taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he
has found some uncleanness in her: thenlet him write her a bill of divorcement [kriythuwth], and give it in her
hand, andsend her out [shalach] of his house.
2 Andwhen she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another mans wife.
Notice that a man who wants to divorce his wife may only do so forsome uncleannessin her. What does
this mean? It means that she has either committed adultery or he thought she was a virgin and then on the
wedding night he found out that this was not the case. It can also mean that she is an idol worshiper and
she worships pagan gods.
We find out that in the book of Ezra Chapter 10:3-19, the men were commanded to divorce their wives
who refused to put away their idols.
Another reason why divorce is out of someones control is when the innocent party (the believer) has an
unbelieving spouse who wants to leave the marriage:
1stQorintiym (Corinthians) 7:15Butif the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not
under bondage in such cases: but Elohiym has called us to peace.
The Apostle Shauwl (Paul) is telling us that if an unbelieving spouse wants to depart, then let him go. He
goes on to say that we arenot under bondageto the marriage in this case.
Now that we know that there is a difference between beingput awayand beinglegally divorced,it
changes how we will read what our Messiah said in the gospels, so long as we read it in the King James
Version or some other version that uses the correct Greek words:
# 630. apoluo ap-ol-oo-ofrom 575 and 3089; to free fully, i.e. (literally) relieve, release, dismiss (reflexively,
depart), or (figuratively) let die, pardon or (specially) divorce:--(let)depart, dismiss,forgive, let go,
loose,put away, send away, release, set at liberty.
# 647. apostasion ap-os-tas-ee-onneuter of a (presumed) adjective from a derivative of 868; properly,
something separative, i.e. (specially)divorce:--writing of divorcement.
# 3080. lusis loo-sisfrom 3089; a loosening, i.e. (specially),divorce:--to be loosed.
Mattithyahuw (Matthew) 5:
31It has been said, Whosoever shall put away [shalach, apoluo] his wife, let him give her a writing of
divorcement:
32But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causes

her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced [shalach, apoluo] commits
adultery.
As you can see the wordput away was translated correctly in verse 31 as it is #630 in the Greek Strongs
Concordance. But in verse 32, however the English translators used the wrong word for divorced. The
word should beput away, which is #630 apoluo.

Mattithyahuw (Matthew) 19:


3 The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man toput
away[shalach, apoluo] his wife for every cause?
4 And he answered and said unto them, Have you not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them
male and female,
5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they two shall be one
flesh?
6 Wherefore they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore Elohiym has joined together, let not man put
asunder.
7 They say unto him,Why did Mosheh then command to give a writing of divorcement [kriythuwth,
apostasion],andtoput her away [shalach, apoluo]?
8 He said unto them, Mosheh because of the hardness of your heartssuffered you to put away [shalach,
apoluo]your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.
9 And I say unto you,Whosoever shall put away [shalach, apoluo]his wife, except it be for fornication, and
shall marry another, commits adultery: and whoso marries her which is put away [shalach, apoluo]does
commit adultery.
Now here is where most people get confused. As you can see from the above verses, the thing that causes
one to commit adultery is to marry someone who isput awayor separated but not divorced! The Greek
words being used areapoluoin every single case which simply means to be separated but not legally
divorced!
But there is one place where the King James translators did mistranslate the wordput awayand instead
they inserted the worddivorcewhere it does not belong:
Mattithyahuw (Matthew) 5:31 It has been said, Whosever shall put away [#630 apoluo] his wife,let him
givehera writing of divorcement [#647 apostasion]:
Mattithyahuw (Matthew) 5:32 ButIsayunto you, that whosoever shallputaway [#630 apoluo] hiswife,
savingfor the causeof fornication, causesherto commit adultery: andwhosoever shall marryher that
isdivorced [#630 apoluo] commits adultery.
Did you get that? In Matthew 5:32 the wrong word was used for divorced! They translated it correctly in
Matthew 5:31 using the wordapostasion#647 fordivorcement.
But then in verse 32, they used the worddivorced, but it should beput awaybecause right next to it in
the Strongs Concordance and the Blue Letter Bible, it shows that the original Greek word is not #647
forapostasion(divorced) but the word should sayput awaybecause the number used right next to it

is # 630 which is the Greek wordapoluo.


This means that our Messiah said that whoever marries a person who is still legally married but separated
from their spouse is committing adultery! He was not saying that if a person marries adivorced person
that they arecommittingadultery necessarily!If the person leaves their spouse in order to marry someone
else then they are committing adultery. But if the innocent party has had their spouse leave them and
divorce them, then they are free to remarry because they are the innocent party who did not cause the
divorce!
All of the other modern translations have caused divorced people for years to be under unnecessary
condemnation for being wrongfully divorced by a spouse. But the King James Version gets it right in every
place by using the correct wordput away(apoluo) except for in this one place in Matthew 5:32 where
they mistranslated the wordapoluoas divorced!
Now let me comment on the above verses in Matthew 5 & 19. First of all,No, it is not okay to put away a
wife for any reason.
Messiah knew that the only reason why a man couldput awayhis wife is for the cause of fornication or
adultery. But he was still required to write her a certificate of divorce in such cases. You see men were just
abandoning their wives without having a just cause, and they were lusting after another woman. Because
these men did not have a just cause to divorce their wives, instead of giving them a divorce certificate,
they would simply abandon their wives without a certificate and then they would marry another woman
without being loosed from the first wife. Not only did they not have a just cause for divorcing their wives
(which was the first sin) but they also were putting away their wives without writing them a certificate of
divorce, and this left the woman unable to re-marry.
And so she was left in limbo still being legally married to the first husband and unable to re-marry.
Now the Pharisees askedis it lawful for a man to PUT AWAY his wife for every cause?
The first thing that we will note is that in Deuteronomy 24, the only just cause for a man divorcing his wife
is that he found some uncleanness in her (either fornication or idolatry). But the Pharisees knowing this
already were trying to trick Messiah to see if he would agree with Mosheh (Moses) or not.
You will notice that in verse 9, a man is guilty of adultery if he marries a woman who isput
away(separated but not legally divorced). If a husband merelyputs awayhis wife without a legal
divorce and then remarries another woman, he is also committing adultery. This is also another proof
thatYaHuWaH never condoned polygamybut he merely tolerated it.
In verse 9 it also says that the man who marries a woman who isput away(separated but not legally
divorced) he also commits adultery.
In Debariym (Deuteronomy) 24, however, if a man marries a woman who is legally divorced, he does not
commit adultery. It is only when he marries a woman who has not been legally divorced by her husband
that he is then committing adultery!
Also notice thatthe only reason why YaHuWaH allows a man to put away his wife is for the cause of
fornication.This means that he thought she was a virgin beforethe wedding night, but then on the night
of the weddinghe then finds out that she is not. He would have a just cause to divorce her under those

circumstances. However, if he loved her anyway, he would kill a lamb and put the blood of that lamb on
the bed-sheet and show it to the wedding guests outside to cover her sin!
Now lets take a look at Marks account:
Marqos (Mark) 10:
2And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man toput away [shalach, apoluo] his wife?
tempting him.
3Andhe answered and said unto them, What did Mosheh command you?
4And they said, Mosheh suffered towrite a bill of divorcement [kriythuwth, apostasion],and to put her
away [shalach, apoluo].
5AndYahuwshuwa answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept.
6But from the beginning of the creation Elohiym made them male and female.
7For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;
8And they two shall be one flesh: so then they are no more two, but one flesh.
9What therefore Elohiym has joined together, let not man put asunder.
10And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter.
11And he said unto them,Whosoever shallput away [shalach, apoluo]hiswife, and marry another,
commits adultery against her.
12And if a woman shallput away [shalach, apoluo]her husband, and be married to another, she commits
adultery.
Notice that if awoman shall put away her husband(meaning that she merely separates but she has not
beenlegally divorced by him), that she is also committing adultery if she marries another man. In verse 11,
Yahuwshuwa Messiah says that if a man shallput away his wife and marries another woman, he is
committing adultery against his first wife.
This once again is proof that polygamy is wrong. The first wife is being sinned against when a man takes
another wife while he is still legally married to her.
Luqas (Luke) 16:18 Whosoeverputs away [shalach, apoluo] his wife, and marries another, commits adultery: and
whosoever marries her that isput away [shalach, apoluo] from her husband commits adultery.
When the Jews came out of Babylonian Captivity, many of the men had married heathen wives and they
were commanded to divorce these heathen wives and to return back to Towrah.
Ezrah 9:
1 Now when these things were done, the princes came to me, saying,The people of Yisrael, and the priests, and
the Lewites, have not separated themselves from the people of the lands, doing according to their
abominations, even of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the
Egyptians, and the Amorites.

2For they have taken of their daughters for themselves, and for their sons: so that the holy seed have
mingled themselves with the people of those lands: yea, the hand of the princes and rulers has been chief in this
trespass.
3 And when I heard this thing, I rent my garment and my mantle, and plucked off the hair of my head and of my
beard, and sat down astonied.
4 Then were assembled unto me every one that trembled at the words of the Elohiym of Yisrael, because of the
transgression of those that had been carried away; and I sat astonied until the evening sacrifice.
5 And at the evening sacrifice I arose up from my heaviness; and having rent my garment and my mantle, I fell upon
my knees, and spread out my hands unto YHWH my Elohiym.
Here in the above verses we have Ezra renting his clothes and plucking out his beard as he mourns and
weeps in repentance on behalf of the sins of the House of Judah for marrying heathens who worship idols.
Then he went into prayer and fasting to seek after YaHuWaH to know how to handle the situation:
Ezrah 9:
12 Now thereforegive not your daughters unto their sons, neither take their daughters unto your sons, nor
seek their peace or their wealth forever: that you may be strong, and eat the good of the land, and leave it
for an inheritance to your children forever.
13 And after all that is come upon us for our evil deeds, and for our great trespass, seeing that you our Elohiym have
punished us less than our iniquities deserve, and have given us such deliverance as this;
14Should we again break thy commandments, and join in affinity with the people of these
abominations?would not you be angry with us till you had consumed us, so that there should be no remnant nor
escaping?
15 O YHWH Elohiym of Yisrael, you are righteous: for we remain yet escaped, as it is this day: behold, we are before
you in our trespasses: for we cannot stand before you because of this.
In the next verses we read that all the remnant of the House of Yahuwdah (Judah) wept and repented for
marrying heathens and idol worshipers.After there was repentance, they entered into Covenant with
YaHuWaH to divorce their heathen wives:
Ezrah 10:
1 Nowwhen Ezrah had prayed, and when he had confessed, weeping and casting himself down before the
house of Elohiym, there assembled unto him out of Yisrael a very great congregation of men and women
and children: for the people wept very sore.
2 And Shechaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, answered and said unto Ezra,We have trespassed
against our Elohiym, and have taken strange wives of the people of the land:yet now there is hope in Yisrael
concerning this thing.
3 Now thereforelet us make a covenant with our Elohiym to put away all the wives, and such as are born
of them, according to the counsel of my lord, and of those that tremble at the commandment of our
Elohiym; and let it be done according to the law.

Page 9 of 12

In conclusion, we know that YaHuWaH really does not want any married couple to be divorced, but in
some cases, he actually commands us to divorce a spouse who is a heathen that worships idols. Now if the
unbelieving spouse wants to remain married to the believing spouse, the Apostle Shauwl (Paul) says that
we should pray for that unbelieving spouse. But what if that unbelieving spouse is a witch or a Satanist?
There are extenuating circumstances where a wife may have to flee with her children to get away from a
dangerous spouse. And if a man is married to a woman who is practicing witchcraft or has idols in the
home, then he may divorce her according to Deuteronomy 24 for this is considered uncleanness.
There is a fine line between an unbelieving spouse who needs prayer and wants to remain in the marriage
and an all-out heathen who is worshiping idols and inviting demons into the home thereby bringing
everyone under a curse. It is one of those things that should be determined on a case-by-case basis with
much prayer and counseling and also by the leading of the Ruwach haQodesh (Holy Spirit).
However, if that unbelieving spouse does not want to dwell with the believing spouse, then we are not
under bondage in such cases (see 1stCorinthians 7). Ultimately we should all take the approach like the
prophet Hosea and pray for a wayward spouse. But if the wayward spouse refuses to return to YaHuWaH
or to repent from adultery or idol worship, then we are free to divorce and re-marry according to the
scriptures.
My Own Personal Testimony
I had a husband who cheated on me for years. He used drugs, beat me and verbally abused me, but I
never left him. He also dabbled in Satanism and recorded worship music offered up to Satan in the
recording studio. My children were terrified when they heard this music. Yet I remained with him and
prayed for him for many years. Then finally he left and moved in with another woman after 10 years of
marriage. Even during this one year separation when he was living with the other woman, I continued to
pray for him and for the other woman.
Finally after a one year separation, he told me that he wanted to be married to the other woman, and so
Ilet him departas the Apostle Shauwl (Paul) said to do in 1stCorinthians 7. My ex-husband wanted the
divorce and so I signed the divorce papers and gave him his freedom. This was not my choice, but I could
not force him to stay and I know that YaHuWaH was delivering me from a very abusive situation.
I wouldve taken him back and forgiven him if he had repented, but YaHuWaH released me from that
terrible marriage. There were people that told me that I could never remarry because I was divorced but
this is not what Deuteronomy 24 says. It says that when a man writes his wife a certificate of divorce, she
may go and become another mans wife!
At the time I did not know that the termsdivorceandputting awayare totally different words in
Hebrew and Greek. And so I was one of the countless people who have been put under condemnation for
being divorced even though it was out of my control.
If a woman is married to a man who abuses drugs or alcohol and he beats her, she should remove herself
physically from danger by separating butshe should not file for a divorce. She should continue to pray for
him from a distance.
The Apostle Shauwl said this:
1stQorintiym (Corinthians) 7:
10 And unto the married I command, yet not I, but YHWH,Let not the wife depart from her husband:

http://doubleportioninheritance.blogspot.com/2012/02/does-yahuwah-hate-divorce_09.html 12/21/2014

Double Portion Inheritance: Does YaHuWaH Allow Remarriage After Divorce?

Page 10 of 12

11But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband
put away his wife.
As you can see Shauwl is telling the woman not to depart from her husband, butIF SHE DOESlet her
remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband.
This tells us that there could be extenuating circumstances whereby she has to physically leave, because
she is in danger, but if she does this, she is to remain unmarried or if the husband is rehabilitated and quits
drinking and beating her, repents, gets demons cast out of him, etc. she may return and be reconciled to
him. I dont believe that YaHuWaH wants a woman to remain married to a man who is a pedophile and
sodomizes her and the children. Or a man who is a homosexual who goes out and sleeps with men
thereby infecting her with aides. These are the types of reasons why the woman may separate from her
husband but she cannot write him a certificate of divorce or initiate the divorce. Only the husband may do
that.
But the bottom-line is that if the husband writes his wife a divorce certificate, she is free to remarry. Our
Messiah Yahuwshuwa was not contradicting Deuteronomy 24 when he said that a man or a
womancommits adulteryfor marrying a person who has beenput away.For the wordput
awaydoes not mean the same thing as divorce! A person who isput awayis merely separated but
there is no legally binding document that proves that they are divorced! In order for a person to be
allowed to remarry according to the scriptures, the man must write the woman a divorce certificate and
then she may remarry!
Hence, our Messiah was not telling us that a man or a woman who is divorced may never remarry!

Bob, that is totally false. Our Messiah YaHuWShuWA said in Matthew 5:17-19 that not one "jot or tittle" of the Mosaic Law (Towrah) shall pass away until HEAVEN &
EARTH PASSES AWAY! Heaven & Earth are still here!

I appreciate your diligence in study and love for truth. That said, how would you incorporate 1 Peter Chapter 2 and 3 where we are told to "vs. 18, Servants, be
subjext to your masters with all fear not only to the good and gentle but also to the froward."...Beginning of Chapter 3 vs. 1 "Likewise ye wives..." Thank you for
your consideration. Blessings.

Thank you for this information. I have never heard this before. It does make the WORD come together and make sense now.

In the german elberfelder translation - also a 'putway' is used; but I think in the whole context you gave. It's not about puttung away his wife and not haveing a divorcedocument but that this beahvor - putting away his wife for some reason (which logically includes the document) was abused. And not only abused - it was simply not
from the beginning. Paul said in some letter that a wife is bound to his husband till he dies - and then she is free as a parallel to the law, we cannot fullfill it we must die to
it to get free.
