Deuteronomy 24:4

Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that [is] abomination before the LORD: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which the LORD thy God giveth thee [for] an inheritance.

Her former {H7223} husband {H1167}, which sent her away {H7971}, may {H3201} not take {H3947} her again {H7725} to be his wife {H802}, after {H310} that she is defiled {H2930}; for that is abomination {H8441} before {H6440} the LORD {H3068}: and thou shalt not cause the land {H776} to sin {H2398}, which the LORD {H3068} thy God {H430} giveth {H5414} thee for an inheritance {H5159}.

In such a case her first husband, who sent her away, may not take her again as his wife, because she is now defiled. It would be detestable to ADONAI, and you are not to bring about sin in the land ADONAI your God is giving you as your inheritance.

then the husband who divorced her first may not remarry her after she has been defiled, for that is an abomination to the LORD. You must not bring sin upon the land that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance.

her former husband, who sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before Jehovah: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which Jehovah thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.
