Deuteronomy 22:1 "Thou shalt not see thy brother's ox or his sheep go astray and hide thyself from them: thou shalt in any case bring them again unto thy brother."
Included in the chapter are various instructions for day to day living. Details from a sitting bird to the conduct of man and woman are discussed. Here is an outline:
-v1 Of humanity toward brethren
-v5 The sex is to be distinguished by apparel
-v6 The dam is not to be taken with her young ones
-v8 The house must have battlements
-v9 Confusion is to be avoided
-v12 Fringes upon the vesture
-v13 The punishment of him that slandereth his wife
-v20,22 Of adultery
-v25 of rape,
-v28 and of fornication
-v30 Incest
One can see from this outline that many subjects are covered in this chapter. Israel is truly treated as a child by the Lord in that all the basics are covered. It is important, for they are going into a land where the people apparently have no standards to live by and I expect Israel had little in the way of good examples while they were slaves in Egypt. It is mature reading but necessary for the time.
Psalms 116:12 "What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me?"
