“In our prayers we talk to God, in our Bible study God talks to us, and we had better let God do most of the talking.”

Scripture focus
And they shall amerce him in an hundred [shekels] of silver, and give [them] unto the father of the damsel, because he hath brought up an evil name upon a virgin of Israel: and she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days.
Deuteronomy 22:19 — KJV
Amerce him. “Fine him” (RSV). The fine imposed was double that which the groom usually contracted to give the bride. The word translated “amerce” also means “punish,” that is, punishment by the payment of a fine (Exodus 21:22).
Not put her away. Such an arrangement could hardly make for happy married life in the modern sense. The husband wanted to be rid of his wife, but was forced to retain her against his will. But the procedure did justify the wife and re-establish her character in the eyes of the public.
