"to let loose from, let go free" (apo, "from," luo, "to loose"), is translated "is divorced" in the AV of Matthew 5:32 (RV, "is put away"); it is further used of "divorce" in Matthew 1:19; 19:3,7-9; Mark 10:2,4,11; Luke 16:18 . The Lord also used it of the case of a wife putting away her husband, Mark 10:12 , a usage among Greeks and Romans, not among Jews. See DISMISS.

primarily, "a defection," lit., "a standing off" (apo, "from," stasis, "a standing;" cp. aphistemi, "to cause to withdraw"), denotes, in the NT, "a writing or bill of divorcement," Matthew 5:31; 19:7; Mark 10:4 . In Sept., Deuteronomy 24:3; Isaiah 50:1; Jeremiah 3:8 .
