Deuteronomy 21:22-22:1
– If someone guilty of a capital
offense is put to death and their body is exposed
on a pole, you must not leave the body hanging on the pole overnight. Be sure to bury it that same day, because anyone who is
hung on a pole is under God’s curse. You must not desecrate the land the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance.
If you see your fellow Israelite’s ox or sheep straying, do not ignore it but
be sure to take it back to its owner.
Proverbs
27:10 – Do not
forsake your friend or a friend of your family, and do not go to your
relative’s house when disaster strikes you—better a
neighbor nearby than a relative far away.
Application:
- · Christ accepted the full punishment of my sins, thus becoming a curse for me.
- · The Biblical legislation was intended not only to punish criminal behavior but also to express concern for people and their possessions.
- · Do not fail a friend in need; when in need rely on friendship rather than on mere family relationships.
