Publisher's Synopsis
Volumes 3 and 4 of Exodus cover mainly three chapters: Exodus 21-23, called the case laws.
While the Ten Commandments are in Exodus 20, the case laws illustrate the application of the legal principles of the Ten Commandments to society. Here, we learn how to combine general laws with specific types of legal cases.
The case laws of Exodus cover many topics: slavery, kidnapping, lost domesticated animals, legal liability (fire), assault and battery, restitution, negligence, judicial impartiality, judicial predictability, bribery, economic growth, citizenship, the limits on personal sacrifice, environmental pollution, oppression, and the most important of all biblical judicial principles: victim's rights.
The two volumes on the case laws (Volumes 3 and 4) were originally titled, Tools of Dominion (1990).
