(דברים כד ב) **וְיָצְאָה מִבֵּיתוֹ**, מְלַמֵּד שֶׁהָאִשָּׁה יוֹצְאָה מִלִּפְנֵי הָאִישׁ.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
(Devarim 24:2) "And she shall go out of his house": We are hereby taught that the woman leaves the presence of the man (i.e., *she* leaves the house, not *he*.)


###### Sifrei Devarim 270:2
[Sifrei Devarim 270:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sifrei%20Devarim/r/270:2)

###### Sifrei Devarim 270:3
[Sifrei Devarim 270:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sifrei%20Devarim/r/270:3)

**אַחֵר**, כְּבָר קְרָאַתּוֹ הַתּוֹרָה אַחֵר.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
"another man": Scripture calls him "another," (demonstrating that he is not on a par [morally] with the first, the first having banished "a thing of nakedness" from his home; the second, having admitted her.)

[Sifrei Devarim 270:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sifrei%20Devarim/r/270:4)

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
(*Ibid*. 3) "And if the last man hate her": Scripture apprises us that he is destined to hate her.

"or if the last man die": Scripture apprises us that she is destined to bury him.


###### Sifrei Devarim 270:6
[Sifrei Devarim 270:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sifrei%20Devarim/r/270:6)

אֵין לִי אֶלָּא גְּרוּשָׁה, אַלְמָנָה מִנַּיִן? תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר: **אוֹ כִּי יָמוּת הָאִישׁ הָאַחֲרוֹן**. אִם סוֹפֵנוּ לְרַבּוֹת אַלְמָנָה, מַה תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר גְּרוּשָׁה? אַלְמָנָה מֻתֶּרֶת לַיָּבָם, גְּרוּשָׁה אֲסוּרָה לַיָּבָם.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
If a divorcée (from the second husband) is mentioned (as forbidden to the first,), why mention a widow (as being forbidden to him)? For a divorcée is forbidden to the levir (her second husband's brother [in the event of her second husband's dying without children]) whereas a widow is permitted to the levir (in the above instance).


###### Sifrei Devarim 270:7
[Sifrei Devarim 270:7](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sifrei%20Devarim/r/270:7)

יָכוֹל אַף שֶׁקִּלְקְלָה עַל בַּעְלָהּ לְאַחַר שֶׁנִּתְגָּרְשָׁה תְּהֵא אֲסוּרָה לַחֲזוֹר לוֹ? תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר (דברים כד א): ״וְכָתַב לָהּ סֵפֶר כְּרִיתֻת וְיָצְאָה״, הַיּוֹצְאָה בְּגֵט תְּהֵא אֲסוּרָה לַחֲזוֹר לוֹ, וְלֹא שֶׁקִּלְקְלָה עַל בַּעְלָהּ לְאַחַר שֶׁנִּתְגָּרְשָׁה תְּהֵא אֲסוּרָה לַחֲזוֹר לוֹ.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
I might think that even if she had illicit relations with another after she were divorced, she is forbidden to return to him; it is, therefore, written (*Ibid*. 2) "and he shall write her … (3) and she shall go out, etc.": (Only) one who goes out with a *get* (from a second husband) is forbidden to return to the first, but not one who had illicit relations with another.


###### Sifrei Devarim 270:8
[Sifrei Devarim 270:8](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sifrei%20Devarim/r/270:8)

(דברים כד ד) מִנַּיִן לְנוֹתֵן גֵּט לִיבִמְתּוֹ שֶׁאָסוּר לַחֲזֹר עָלֶיהָ? תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר: **לֹא יוּכַל בַּעְלָהּ הָרִאשׁוֹן**. מִנַּיִן לְאִשָּׁה שֶׁהָלַךְ בַּעְלָהּ לִמְדִינַת הַיָּם וְאָמְרוּ לָהּ ״מֵת בַּעְלֵיךְ״ וְנִשֵּׂאת, וְאַחַר כָּךְ בָּא בַעְלָהּ, שֶׁתֵּצֵא מִזֶּה וּמִזֶּה וּצְרִיכָה גֵּט מִזֶּה וּמִזֶּה? תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר: **לֹא יוּכַל בַּעְלָהּ הָרִאשׁוֹן אֲשֶׁר שִׁלְּחָהּ לָשׁוּב לְקַחְתָּהּ**, לֹא יוּכַל לָשׁוּב לָקַחַת אֶת אֲשֶׁר שִׁלֵּחַ.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
And whence is it derived that if one gives a *get* to his *yevamah* (in advance of levirate marriage) she may not return to him? From (*Ibid*. 4) "Her first husband shall not be able, etc." And whence is it derived that if a woman's husband went abroad, and she was told that he died, and she married another — after which he returned (Whence is it derived) that she needs a *get* from both? From "Her first husband shall not be able … to return to take her to be to him as a wife."


###### Sifrei Devarim 270:9
[Sifrei Devarim 270:9](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sifrei%20Devarim/r/270:9)

**אֲשֶׁר שִׁלְּחָהּ**, אֵין לִי אֶלָּא מִן הַנִּשּׂוּאִים לַנִּשּׂוּאִים מִן הָאֵרוּסִים לָאֵרוּסִים מִן הָאֵרוּסִים לַנִּשּׂוּאִים מִן לַנִּשּׂוּאִים לָאֵרוּסִים מִנַּיִן, תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר: **לֹא יוּכַל בַּעְלָהּ הָרִאשׁוֹן**, לֹא יוּכַל הָרִאשׁוֹן לָקַחַת אֵת אֲשֶׁר שִׁלַּח.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
(*Ibid*.) "after she had been defiled": This tells me only (that this is so) from marriage (with the first) to marriage (with the second). Whence do I derive (the same for) from betrothal to marriage, from marriage to betrothal, from betrothal to betrothal? From "Her first husband shall not be able *to take her*; "her first*to take her*," "who had sent her away*to take her*," "to return *to take her*."


###### Sifrei Devarim 270:10
[Sifrei Devarim 270:10](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sifrei%20Devarim/r/270:10)

רַבִּי יוֹסֵי בֶּן כֵּיפָר אוֹמֵר מִשּׁוּם רַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר בֶּן עֲזַרְיָה: מִן הָאֵרוּסִים מֻתֶּרֶת, מִן הַנִּשּׂוּאִים אֲסוּרָה, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר: **אַחֲרֵי אֲשֶׁר הֻטַּמָּאָה**. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים: בֵּין מִן הָאֵרוּסִים בֵּין מִן הַנִּשּׂוּאִים אֲסוּרָה, אִם כֵּן לָמָּה נֶאֱמַר **אַחֲרֵי אֲשֶׁר הֻטַּמָּאָה**, לְרַבּוֹת סוֹטָה שֶׁנִּסְתְּרָה.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
R. Yossi b. Kipper says in the name of R. Elazar b. Azaryah: From betrothal (to the second) she is permitted (to return to the first); from marriage she is forbidden, it being written "after she has been defiled" (i.e., cohabited with). And the sages say: Both from betrothal and marriage she is forbidden. Why, then, is it written "after she has been defiled"? To include (as forbidden to return to him) a *sotah* (a woman suspected of adultery) who had secreted herself (with the one she was warned against.)


###### Sifrei Devarim 270:11
[Sifrei Devarim 270:11](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sifrei%20Devarim/r/270:11)

וְכֵן הוּא אוֹמֵר (ירמיה ג א): ״הֵן יְשַׁלַּח אִישׁ אֶת אִשְׁתּוֹ וְהָלְכָה מֵאִתּוֹ״.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
"for she (a returned divorcée) is an abomination before the L-rd": As it is written (Jeremiah 3:1) "If a man divorces his wife, and she goes and marries another man, can he return to her again?"


###### Sifrei Devarim 270:12
[Sifrei Devarim 270:12](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sifrei%20Devarim/r/270:12)

**כִּי תוֹעֵבָה הִיא**, רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר: הִיא תּוֹעֵבָה וְאֵין הַוָּלָד תּוֹעֵבָה.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
"for she is an abomination": R. Yehudah said: *She* is an abomination, but her child (of the renewed union) is not an abomination.


###### Sifrei Devarim 270:13
[Sifrei Devarim 270:13](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sifrei%20Devarim/r/270:13)

**וְלֹא תַחֲטִיא אֶת הָאָרֶץ**, לְהַזְהִיר בֵּית דִּין עַל כָּךְ.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
"And you shall not make sinful the land": *Beth-din* is hereby being exhorted (to insure that this does not happen).
