31 “It was said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife must give her a divorce certificate.’

35 You must not pledge by the earth, because it’s God’s footstool. You must not pledge by Jerusalem, because it’s the city of the great king.
36 And you must not pledge by your head, because you can’t turn one hair white or black.
