Tafsiran Ulangan 24:5: Rashi, Chizkuni, Da'at Zekenim & Ibn Ezra

אשה חדשה [WHEN A MAN HATH TAKEN] A NEW WIFE [HE SHALL NOT GO OUT TO THE HOST] — i.e., one that is new to him, even though she be a widow; but it excludes the case of one who re-marries his divorced wife (Sifrei Devarim 271:1; Sotah 44a; cf., however, Targum Jonathan).

ולא יעבור עליו, “and no summons to explain himself in the court applies to him;” he fill not be fined.

נקי יהיה לביתו, “he is to be free to attend to the affairs of his house hold;” Rashi interprets the line as “also for the affairs of his household.” The word יהיה is added, to mean that he is also to attend to his vineyard. It seems to me (the author) that this does not change the meaning of the line as tending to one’s source of income is included in tending to the affairs of one’s household. (Compare the Talmud, tractate Sotah folio 43 where the expression: נקי לביתו, is used more generally.) The person so described cannot even be called upon to perform work such as repairing roads etc, behind the front lines.

ולא יעבר lit., NEITHER SHALL PASS UPON HIM (i.e., be obligatory upon him) any army matter,
