Deuteronomy 21
1.The Atonement for an Unsolved Murder
10.The usage of a captive taken to wife
15.The firstborn is not to be disinherited upon private affection
18.A rebellious son is to be stoned to death
22.The malefactor must not hang all night on a tree














And if you are not pleased with her,
This phrase addresses a situation where an Israelite man has taken a captive woman as a wife but later finds himself displeased with her. The context is the aftermath of war, where women from conquered nations could be taken as wives. This reflects the ancient Near Eastern practice of integrating captives into society, though with specific regulations to protect the dignity of the woman. The displeasure here is not specified, but it implies a change of heart or circumstances that lead to the man no longer desiring the marriage.

you are to let her go wherever she wishes.
This command emphasizes the woman's autonomy after the dissolution of the marriage. Unlike other ancient cultures where women could be treated as property, this directive ensures her freedom. It reflects a measure of compassion and respect for her rights, allowing her to choose her own path without further obligation to the man who initially took her captive. This provision is unique in its time, highlighting a moral standard that values personal freedom.

But you must not sell her for money
This prohibition against selling the woman underscores the principle that she is not to be treated as a commodity. In the ancient world, slavery and the selling of captives were common practices. However, this law sets Israel apart by forbidding such actions, ensuring that the woman is not exploited for financial gain. This aligns with the broader biblical theme of justice and protection for the vulnerable.

or treat her as a slave,
The instruction not to treat her as a slave further reinforces her dignity and humanity. It prevents the man from reducing her status to that of a servant or property, which was a common fate for captives in other cultures. This reflects the biblical principle of equality before God and the inherent value of every individual, regardless of their background or circumstances.

since you have dishonored her.
The term "dishonored" acknowledges the impact of the man's actions on the woman's life. By taking her as a wife and then rejecting her, he has disrupted her life and potentially damaged her reputation. This acknowledgment of dishonor serves as a moral reminder of the consequences of his actions and the need for restitution. It aligns with the biblical call for repentance and making amends for wrongs committed, emphasizing the importance of integrity and responsibility in relationships.

What Does Deuteronomy 21:14 Mean
And if you are not pleased with her

Deuteronomy 21:14 opens with the possibility that, after marrying the captive woman described in verses 10-13, the man’s affection fades. Scripture acknowledges human frailty yet still holds the man accountable.

• The law never excuses fickle love but regulates it so the woman is protected (seeDeuteronomy 24:1;Matthew 19:8).

• God’s concern for the vulnerable appears throughout the Law, from widows and orphans (Exodus 22:22) to sojourners (Leviticus 19:34).

you are to let her go wherever she wishes

Her freedom is non-negotiable. She is free “wherever she wishes,” not merely to the next village but to any life she chooses.

• This directive stands in sharp contrast to ancient Near-Eastern customs that treated captives as perpetual property (compareExodus 3:7-8, where God hears the cry of the oppressed).

• By granting liberty, the Lord affirms her personhood and agency, reflecting the creation truth that both man and woman bear God’s image (Genesis 1:27).

But you must not sell her for money

Financial gain from her release is forbidden.

• The law bars turning repentance into profit, echoingExodus 21:8, where a master who loses delight in a female servant “has no right to sell her to foreigners.”

• The principle anticipates New-Covenant teaching: “Freely you have received; freely give” (Matthew 10:8).

or treat her as a slave

Even remaining in the household, she cannot be reduced to servitude.

• Israel’s memory of Egyptian bondage undergirds this command (Deuteronomy 5:15).

• Paul later reinforces that in Christ there is “neither slave nor free” (Galatians 3:28), reflecting the same heartbeat.

since you have dishonored her

The man’s prior intimacy imposes lasting responsibility.

• Sexual union creates covenantal obligations (Exodus 22:16-17).

• Dishonor here means he humbled her by marrying then rejecting her; therefore he must bear the cost, not her.

• The Lord upholds justice by tying privilege to responsibility—if a man benefits from a woman’s vulnerability, he must also protect her dignity (James 1:27 in principle).

summary

Deuteronomy 21:14 sets a boundary around male power and elevates the worth of a vulnerable woman. If love cools, the man must release her freely, refuse profit, and never enslave her, because his earlier intimacy placed him in her debt. The verse reveals God’s unwavering commitment to human dignity, reminding believers that covenant love is accountable love and that freedom, justice, and honor are the minimum owed to every image-bearer.

Verse 14. - Should the man afterwards come no longer to have pleasure in her, he was to let her go whither she would, but he was not to sell her for money or use any violence to her.Thou shalt not make merchandise of her. The verb in the form here used occurs only here and inDeuteronomy 24:7; derived from a root which signifies to gather or press, it properly means to press for one's self, to lay hands on one, to use violence to one.
