Deuteronomy 22 Commentary

Deuteronomy 22 Commentary

We have more laws for the community. These laws show the heart of the LORD—a picture of perfection. One is required to be a brother’s keeper.

“A woman must not wear men’s clothing, nor a man wear women’s clothing, for the Lord your God detests anyone who does this.” Verse 5. Stop even the semblance of perversion!

The message is simple: don’t delete the dividing lines between the genders.

Don’t diminish the dignified view of sexuality. Know and respect the difference. Respect the design.

You cannot define responsibility until you have read Deuteronomy 22. My driving should not endanger other motorists, plants and animals included!

A man must respect the woman by not violating her virginity and dumping her. A man must not abuse his physical strength by raping a woman. Sexuality must be respected by all. The woman who ‘agrees’ to be raped is as guilty as the rapist. Both must be stoned to death.

The standards demanded by the LORD are very high because the LORD is holy and His people must equally be holy.

Harvest the earth responsibly. You need to eat tomorrow. Conservation is a top priority. At the back of this command is the warning that irresponsible actions result in pain and suffering.
