But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night and said to him, “You are about to die because of the woman you have taken, for she is a married woman.”

When Shechem son of Hamor the Hivite, a prince of the region, saw her, he took her and raped her.

“This is the law regarding jealousy when a wife goes astray and defiles herself while under her husband’s authority,

I will also acquire Ruth the Moabitess, Mahlon’s widow, as my wife, to perpetuate the deceased man’s name on his property, so that his name will not disappear among his relatives or from the gate of his home. You are witnesses today.”

However, as a woman may betray her lover,
so you have betrayed Me, house of Israel.
This is the Lord’s declaration.

You adulterous wife, who receives strangers instead of her husband!

Also, if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.”

So then, if she gives herself to another man while her husband is living, she will be called an adulteress. But if her husband dies, she is free from that law. Then, if she gives herself to another man, she is not an adulteress.

I command the married—not I, but the Lord—a wife is not to leave her husband.

Marriage must be respected by all, and the marriage bed kept undefiled, because God will judge immoral people and adulterers.
