Exodus 21-24

Not a lot to comment on here. God graciously lays out specific scenarios of transgressions and how the Israelites as a society were to deal with them. It all makes perfect sense and is impossible to misunderstand. How we have taken these same concepts and turned them into a penal code that is overrun by confusion, loopholes, and just plain silliness is beyond me. That's what happens when you take scripture and add our "common sense" to it. "Common" is right!!! I love how God reassures them, also, that they are still headed for the home promised to them. He even gives them great detail as to how He will deal with the people they will encounter on the way so that their faith might be strengthened when they start seeing these things happen........or at least that was the idea, anyway! We'll see shortly how strong their "faith by miracles" is holding up. Love ya' Kent
