16. putting away —that is, divorce. for one covereth violence with . . . garment —MAURER translates, "And (Jehovah hateth him who) covereth his garment (that is, his wife, in Arabic idiom; compare :- , 'He is to thee a covering of thy eyes'; the husband was so to the wife, and the wife to the husband; also Deuteronomy 22:30 ; Ruth 3:9 ; Ezekiel 16:8 ) with injury." The Hebrew favors "garment," being accusative of the thing covered. Compare with English Version, Psalms 73:6 , "violence covereth them as a garment." Their "violence" is the putting away of their wives; the "garment" with which they try to cover it is the plea of Moses' permission ( Psalms 73:6- : ; compare Psalms 73:6- : ). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-17" class="com-number"
