Bits of Torah Truths – Yeshua Taught on Divorce using the Torah – Episode 19
Mark 10:5–10
ה אָמַר לָהֶם יֵשׁוּעַ׃ ״בִּגְלַל קְשִׁי לְבַבְכֶם כָּתַב לָכֶם אֶת הַמִּצְוָה הַזֹּאת, ו אֲבָל מֵרֵאשִׁית הַבְּרִיאָה ׳זָכָר וּנְקֵבָה בָּרָא אֹתָם׳. (בראשית א׳ כז׳//בראשית ה׳ ב׳) ז ׳עַל–כֵּן יַעֲזָב אִישׁ אֶת–אָבִיו וְאֶת–אִמּוֹ “וְדָבַק בְּאִשְׁתּוֹ” ח וְהָיוּ שְׁנֵיהֶם לְבָשָׂר אֶחָד.׳ (בראשית ב׳ כד׳) וּבְכֵן אֵינָם עוֹד שְׁנַיִם אֶלָּא בָּשָׂר אֶחָד. ט לְפִיכָךְ מַה שֶּׁחִבֵּר אֱלֹהִים אַל יַפְרִיד אָדָם.״ (מלאכי ב׳ טז׳)
Mark 10:5–9
5 And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept. 6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. 7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; 8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. 9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. (KJV)
Here Yeshua used the creation account to teach on the topic of divorce. This is significant since it suggests to us how the Torah has not passed away.
