What does Deuteronomy 22:23 mean?
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Deuteronomy 22:13-30
13-30. If a man take a wife, &c.--The regulations that follow might be imperatively needful in the then situation of the Israelites; and yet, it is not necessary that we should curiously and impertinently inquire into them.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on Deuteronomy 22:13-30
These and the like regulations might be needful then, and yet it is not necessary that we should curiously examine respecting them. The laws relate to the seventh commandment, laying a restraint upon fleshly lusts which war against the soul.
