Exodus21:10

10 If he take him another wife, her food, he[illegible: 1+ letters]aiment▪ and her duty of marriage shall he not diminish .

Called due benevolence, 1 Cor. 7. 3. Or, her dwelling, as the word is oft used. So here are the three great conveniencies of fife, food and raiment and habitation, all which he is to provide for her: or, her cohabitation, or, her time, the convenient and appointed times for conjugal converse with her: for some times were disallowed for it, Lev. 15. and when there were plurality of wives, they had their vicissitudes, Gen. 30. 15▪ 16.

Or rather, not withdraw, or deny it, as the word signifies, and as the LXX. Chaldee, Samaritan, Vulgar, and others render it.
