Deuteronomy 24:3

Thus says Yahweh, “Where is the certificate of divorce By which I have sent your mother away? Or to which of My creditors did I sell you? Behold, you were sold for your iniquities, And for your transgressions your mother was sent away.

God says, “If a husband divorces his wife And she goes from him And belongs to another man, Will he still return to her? Will not that land be completely polluted? But you are a harlot with many lovers; Yet you turn to Me,” declares Yahweh.

“And I saw that for all the adulteries of faithless Israel, I had sent her away and given her a certificate of divorce, yet her treacherous sister Judah did not fear; but she went and was a harlot also.

And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man and not wanting to disgrace her, planned to send her away secretly.

“Now it was said, ‘Whoever sends his wife away, let him give her a certificate of divorce’;

They *said to Him, “Why then did Moses command to give her a certificate of divorce and send her away?”

And they said, “Moses permitted a man to write a certificate of divorce and send her away.”
