What does “Let Not” mean as in “let not man put asunder.”? I believe it is the same as “Do not let”, which is a command to others to not allow something or someone some action, making others responsible to be involved. “Let Not” is different from the “Do Not” command, which is a personal command to a individual not to do something, that “Do Not” command is just to that individual. Who is this “let not” command to? If the command is to “let not” or “let none”, can anyone say I did not put away/divorce (Matt 19:6), I did not open the gates (Neh 7:3), It's not my fault that he escaped (2Kgs 10:24-25), …, and be guiltless ?
In the “Let Not” commands, such as “let not the husband put away his wife”, there is a wider responsibility for not letting certain things happen or to continue. Where the “Do Not” command is a command just to the individual and not a delegated responsibility for others to be involved. Some bible translations translate the “Let Not” command as a “Do Not” (personal) command.

#1 Our Scriptural responsibility to warn
Please read Ezekiel 3: 17-21: When a righteous man turns from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, and I lay stumbling block before him, he shall die: because you did not give him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at your hand.
And from the 33rd chapter of Ezekiel. we read: If the wicked restore what he had robbed and walk In the statutes of life he shall surely live. Say unto them, As I live, says the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live:
Eli did not do the right thing in 1Samuel 2:12-4:18 only speaking to his sons but not restraining them. Eli was their father and head priest therefore he was responsible for their actions. What are we doing in instruction, training, and restraining our children?
If God commands, ";Do not close the door", and you find the door closed, what then? You say I didn't close it so it's not my responsibly to see that it gets opened. But if God says, "Let not the door be closed", that implies you and everyone that knows of the command, not only to not close the door, but also to open it if it is closed. We need to be active watchmen. Not allowing men to think they can take apart what God says we are to not allow. IF we ALLOW divorce and remarriage by saying nothing we also become guilty of the sin of this remarriage/adultery.

#2 HOW Can the individual stop Allowing. or not let people Divorce and Remarry, and not allow/let adulterous marriages?
1. By understanding our scriptural responsibility to warn.
2. By being informed that Marriage according to scripture is until death of spouse.
To Learn more go to:What Is Marriage https://WhatIsMarriagetonywpiano.weebly.com/
3. By speaking the truth in love because we care about them and do not want them to end up in hell.
4. By not calling people “Husband and Wife” who are in adultery. and not calling them
“Mr. and Mrs. new-last-name” . We can call them by their 1st names.
5. By holding people accountable to their word vowed in their first marriage and to God's word saying marriage is until death. Making a new adulterous vow can not remove or undo an older allowable Godly vow. Keep your word. Jesus said: Swear not simply say ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything more than this comes from evil. Matt 5:33-37, James 1:12
6. Scriptural instruction: 1Cor 5:11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother but is sexually immoral, ... with him that is such see that ye eat not.
I find that once I have talked to someone in an adulterous marriage, and then make it a point not to eat with them, by my not eating with them they are again hearing my message, even without having to repeat my message. So they hear again, by my actions, even if they do not want to.

#3 SOME “LET NOT” COMMAND verses: (Who's responsibilities is this “not let” to?)
Matt 19:6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. (Jesus' words most bible translations translate as “let not”)
Mark 10:9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
1Cor 7:10 ... Let not the wife depart from her husband:
1Cor 7:11 ... and let not the husband put away his wife.
Mal 2:14,15 ...against whom thou hast dealt treacherously (divorced): yet is she thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant And did not he make one? ... let none (divorce) deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.
Neh 7:3 ... Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun be hot; ( Is this a command to do something to keep the gates closed? And if they are open is there a responsibility to get them closed again? )
Exod 19:24 And the LORD said unto him (Moses), ... let not the priests and the people break through ...
1Kgs 18:40 ... Take the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape. And they took them ... and slew them there. (Elijah commands action, giving responsibility, to let not one escape. Someone can not say it was not me. All that they might say is “I did everything in my power to try to stop their escape.” But is having tried the same as continuing to work on “NOT LETting” them escape?)
2Kgs 10:24-25 .. (account in verses 18-28)... Go in, and slay them (the worshippers of Baal); let none come forth. And they smote them with the edge of the sword; ... (The command let none escape, is giving responsibility to some men to not let others escape. This is not a do not escape command.)
#4 Some “do not” command verses:
(these are commands to individuals)

I pray you, do not so wickedly Judg 19:23, ..., do not force me; … do not thou this folly. 2Sam 13:12, ... Oh, do not this abominable thing that I hate. Jer 44:4, Take heed that ye do not your alms before men Matt 6:1, Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet Matt 6:2, ... observe and do; but do not ye after their works Matt 23:3, ... Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness Mark 10:19, Do not err, my beloved brethren Jas 1:16,
#5 Some other translations' interpretations, Changing the “LET NOT” command TO A personal “DO NOT” COMMAND:
Matt 19:6 KJV ... are no more twain, but one flesh. What God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
(bible translations below change Matt 19:6 “Let Not” to a “Do Not” command to individuals)
ISV ... man must never separate, NWT … man must not separate, HCSB … man must not separate, HCSB20 ... no person is to separate,

NIV … are not to be opened, ISV … Do not open, NWT ... Do not open, LSB … must not be opened, HCSB … Do not open, NASB20 ...are not to be opened,
#6 Conclusion:
{Let Not \ Let None} puts the responsibility not only on the married couple but also on everyone. If you will notice that the wording of these commands is “Let Not \ Let None”. The wording is not “Do Not” put asunder, it's not “Do Not” depart, it's not “Do Not” deal treacherously. Such “Do Not” wording would be addressing the person personally, but scripture says “Let Not \ Let None” making these commands everyone's concern and responsibility. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man (divorce) put asunder Matthew 19:6, Mark 10:9, let none (divorce) deal treacherously against his wife Malachi 2: 14-16, Let not the wife depart from her husband … let not the husband put away his wife.. 1Corinthians 7:10, 11. Neh 7:3 KJV … And I (Nehemiah) said unto them, Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun be hot
(bible translations below change Neh 7:3 “Let Not” to a “Do Not” command to individuals)
NIV … are not to be opened, ISV … Do not open, NWT ... Do not open, LSB … must not be opened, HCSB … Do not open, NASB20 ...are not to be opened,
