Exodus 21

What About Slavery?

Exodus 21:1-11What About Slavery If you have your Bibles I'd invite you to turn with me to Exodus chapter 21. We’re continuing our study through the Book of the Covenant, that is that section of Scripture that runs from towards the end of Exodus chapter 20 through Exodus chapter 24. The introduction of the Book of the Covenant we studied the last time when we looked at Exodus 20, 22-26. It focuses on worship. Not surprisingly, worship is the first matter dealt with at the conclusion of the section in Exodus, chapter 20, giving us the Ten Commandments. The Book of the Covenant is distinct from the ten words. The Book of the Covenant contains applications of the principles of the Ten Commandments to the specific needs of Israel as a society at the time, as well as general principles…

Capital Punishment

Exodus 21:12-17Capital Punishment: Biblical or Barbaric? If you have your Bible I'd invite you to turn with me to Exodus chapter 21:12, as we continue our summer long study of the book of the covenant. The book of the covenant begins at the end of Exodus chapter 20 and runs all the way to Exodus chapter 24. It is that book of laws in which we have God's application of the principles of the Ten Commandments to various issues in Israel's society at the time. We see how God works out the principles of those ten words in Israel's society as they are still in the wilderness. Exodus 19 sets the context to Mt. Sinai. Exodus 20, which gives us the Ten Commandments. The code proper begins in Exodus 21:1, but there is a preface to it that we find at the end of Exodus 20, and it…

What Does “An Eye for an Eye” Really Mean?

Exodus 21:18-32 What Does “An Eye for An Eye” Really Mean? If you have your Bibles I'd invite you to turn with me to Exodus chapter 21. We are continuing through our summer long study of the book of the covenant. That is a section of Exodus from chapter 20 to 23, and it is often called a covenant code. It gives us a public application of the moral principles which have been set forth in the Ten Commandments. In the last weeks in which we have been in this book, we have been away from it for a couple of weeks doing some other studies, but in the last three or four times we have been together in Exodus chapter 20 and 21, looking at these laws for public life in Israel, we have looked at the subjects of worship at the end of Exodus chapter 20, we have looked at the subject of slavery…

What God Says About Dogs, Cows and Property Rights

Exodus 21:33-22:15What God Says About Dogs, Cows & Property Rights If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn to Exodus 21:33 as we continue our study of the Book of the Covenant, that the name given to this section of Scripture by Moses himself in Exodus 24:7. It refers basically to end of Exodus 20 through the end of Exodus 23:33. And the code of law, or case laws contained in this section, begins in Exodus 21. There is a preface, the end of Exodus 20, which deals especially with…
