Deu 24:1 When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house.
A few chapters earlier we read that adulterers would be stoned.
Deu 22:22 If a man be found lying with a woman married to an husband, then they shall both of them die, both the man that lay with the woman, and the woman: so shalt thou put away evil from Israel.
Does that mean the "uncleanness" mentioned in 24:1 did not include "adultery" which resulted in stoning?
What would be an example of "uncleanness" (or "fornication" as it is quoted in NT)then?
How is that applicable today, as it seems everytime I've seen this "Applied" today its been because of adultery?
Of course we cant stone now adays...
