The Light of Lucifer on Divorce

[OttoM]

What commandment?

Exodus 22:16
If a man entices a virgin who is not betrothed, and lies with her, he shall surely pay the bride-price for her to be his wife. 17 If her father utterly refuses to give her to him, he shall pay money according to the bride-price of virgins.

"According to the bride-price of virgins" applies the set-amount can fluctuate.

 

[The Revolting Man]

Exodus 22:16
If a man entices a virgin who is not betrothed, and lies with her, he shall surely pay the bride-price for her to be his wife. 17 If her father utterly refuses to give her to him, he shall pay money according to the bride-price of virgins.

"According to the bride-price of virgins" applies the set-amount can fluctuate.

This isn’t a command for universal bride price. This is only for a very specific instance. Do you have any daughters?

The better word is "instructions." When people follow these instructions - the end result is peace in the land.

No daughters - just sons.

As the mother of daughters I can say that the bride price I expect is for their potential husband to have a decent income, to be debt free, and to be a man of God and of integrity.

I think most men these days would rather write a check for $1,000,000

That's context.

It would have been clearer if you had been referring back to it.
