This week we continue our march through the Book of the Covenant and cover Exodus 21 verses 12-36. In it we cover murder (12-14), honoring parents (15 & 17), kidnapping (16), quarreling (18-19), treatment of slaves (20-21 & 26-27), harm to a pregnant woman (22-25), the law of retaliation (23-25) and restitution for damage to livestock (26-36). What do all these rules mean for the Israelites in Moses' day and what do they mean for us today?
