This is one of the prime examples of โ€œjust because itโ€™s in the Bible doesnโ€™t mean God approved; to the contrary.โ€ It doesnโ€™t always say โ€œand this angered the Lordโ€ because we are supposed to understand that without being told. Having a concubine, let alone abandoning her to be abused, is so far removed from โ€œshe is bone of my bone, flesh of my fleshโ€ and the Love that God Is that it is supposed to stand out as starkly as it does to us. I donโ€™t think modern people are removed from this behavior at all. Even in nations that are โ€œat peaceโ€ internally, you have cruel criminals and crueler politicians perpetuating horrific evils every day.
