New International Version (© 2011) then her first husband, who divorced her, is not allowed to marry her again after she has been defiled. That would be detestable in the eyes of the LORD.

Clarke's Commentary on the BibleShe is defiled - Does not this refer to her having been divorced, and married in consequence to another? Though God, for the hardness of their hearts, suffered them to put away their wives, yet he considered all after-marriages in that case to be pollution and defilement; and it is on this ground that our Lord argues in the places referred to above, that whoever marries the woman that is put away is an adulterer: now this could not have been the case if God had allowed the divorce to be a legal and proper separation of the man from his wife; but in the sight of God nothing can be a legal cause of separation but adultery on either side. In such a case, according to the law of God, a man may put away his wife, and a wife may put away her husband; (see Matthew 19:9); for it appears that the wife had as much right to put away her husband as the husband had to put away his wife, see Mark 10:12. Treasury of Scripture Knowledge Her former Jeremiah 3:1 They say, If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and become another man's, shall he return to her again?... thou shalt Leviticus 18:24-28 Defile not you yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you... Joshua 22:17,18 Is the iniquity of Peor too little for us, from which we are not cleansed until this day... Deuteronomy 24:4 Parallel Commentaries
