    Just a tangential thought:

    Tbf, the part about divorce has some substantial context behind it that is missing in modern societies, though I have seen it misused to say that the wife must put up with the husband doing whatever he wants anytime.:-(

    Back then women were not allowed to own property, and ignoring atm how fucked up that already was, this commandment to not divorce her unless she was unfaithful was a rather liberal protection against her becoming homeless.
