In the first 15 verses there is a continuation of laws regarding personal property. These laws are an elaboration of the eighth commandment “You will not steal.” God desired that the children of Israel be given specific cases so that they would fully understand the extent of the law. This chapter also promotes special consideration and protection to strangers, widows, and fatherless children. God wanted to assure his people that the destitute among them should be cared for. In a recent discovery at Khirbet Qeiyafa, Israel, an inscription was found in 2008 that is the oldest Hebrew text ever discovered. One scholar believes it may have been an injunction to care for widows and orphans while another believes that it relates to the establishment of the monarchy. If the former interpretation is correct, it is a good example of this belief in Israel’s history, if the latter then we have physical evidence for the move away from a theocracy to a human king. The passage raises important issues about our care for the needy and our allegiances. Those who follow God as their ultimate authority will care for the impoverished and less fortunate. Michael Hasel

We live in an era in which our chores and tasks are made easier by labor saving devices. No more hand washing of laundry or dishes are required of those who have modern appliances. Cooking is far easier now than it was for our pioneers. We can do much of our shopping online and even have meals delivered! Sadly, this labor-saving mentality hasn’t always worked to our advantage in spreading the gospel. Instead of using every advantage that technology can offer us to have more time to witness, we have allowed ourselves to become spoiled and lazy. It is almost as if we think we can just plug in a labor-saving witnessing machine and hope to win our neighbors without ever really having to interact with them. God sees it differently. He has given us privileges and will hold us accountable for how we use our time and opportunities. “Greater light shines upon us than shone upon our fathers. We cannot be accepted or honored of God in rendering the same service, or doing the same works, that our fathers did. In order to be accepted and blessed of God as they were, we must imitate their faithfulness and zeal, —improve our light as they improved theirs, and do as they would have done had they lived in our day. We must walk in the light which shines upon us, otherwise that light will become darkness.” Christian Service 88.2. Karen D.
