SCRIPTURE
"They say unto him, Why then did Moses command to give a bill of divorcement, and to put [her] away?" — Matthew 19:7 (ASV)
Why did Moses, etc. To this they objected that Moses had allowed such divorces (Deuteronomy 24:1), and if he had allowed them, they inferred that they could not be unlawful.
