Deuteronomy 19, 20, 21, and 22
This episode covers Deuteronomy 19, 20, 21 and 22! In these chapters, we will learn that the consequences for many of the crimes in this civil order are serious, often involving capital punishment.
HAYLEY’S BIBLE BENDER:
The Bible bender for me in Deuteronomy 19-22 was the rules for war and the right to enjoy life. In chapter 20, Moses explains three reasons a man didn’t need to go to war. The reasons were if they had a new house, a new vineyard, or a new wife, were simply afraid.
After considering these exceptions to the fighting, you see the importance God puts on land and life. He wanted to give families time to enjoy newlywed status and time to produce an heir to pass their new land onto their future generations before possible death on the battlefield.
While not a Bible bender exactly, it a a sweet consideration God made for his new nation of Israel.
What was your Bible bender from Deuteronomy 19? Did you learn anything new?
