10 Then Yeshua left Capernaum and went down to the Yudean area and across the Yordan river. Again the crowds followed him, and he taught them just like he usually did.

2 Some from the Pharisee party approached Yeshua to check him out and asked, “Does the law allow a husband to dismiss his wife?”

3 “Well, what law did Mosheh give to you all?” he asked.

4 They answered, “Mosheh said that a husband is allowed to write a statement of divorce and dismiss his wife with it.”[ref]

5 “Yes, he wrote that law,” Yeshua responded, “because he saw your stubborn desires, 6 but God made both men and women right at the beginning.[ref] 7 As a result, a man leaves his parents and joins together with his wife[ref] 8 and the couple become a single unit. So there’s no longer two of them, but only one. 9 So if it’s God who joins them together like that, no person has the authority to separate them.”

10 Back in the house again, his apprentices asked about that, 11 and Yeshua told them, “Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another person, commits adultery towards his wife.”[ref] 12 And likewise, if the wife divorces her husband and marries another person, she’s committing adultery towards her husband.”
