This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
let us make: Nichrath berith, "let us cut a covenant:" Deu 29:12; Jos 9:6; 2Ki 11:17; 2Ch 29:10, 2Ch 34:31-32; Neh 9:38; Neh 10:29-39
put away: Heb. bring forth
according to the counsel: 2Ch 30:12
of those that: Ezr 9:4; 2Ch 34:21, 2Ch 34:27; Psa 119:59, Psa 119:120; Isa 66:2; Eze 9:4
at the commandment: Deu 7:2-3; Jos 23:12-13
let it: Neh 8:14, Neh 13:1-3; Isa 8:20; Shechaniah's counsel, which he was then so clear in, will not hold now. Such marriages, it is certain, are contrary to the will of God, and ought not to be made; but they are not null. Our rule under the gospel is Quod fieri non debuit, factum valet, "That which ought not to have been done must, when done, abide." See note on 1Co 7:12-13
