The Mosaic Code

Book excerpt: What would the Law of Moses look like if enacted by a modern-day government? This beautiful volume answers that question. For the first time, each and every provision of the Law found in Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Deuteronomy, and Numbers has been painstakingly organized and codified in a manner similar to what one would find in a modern statute book. With an excellent cross-reference table, and numerous comments and annotations, this volume is ideal for anyone interested in the ancient code of Moses. This unique statute book makes it easy to grasp the legal system handed down at Sinai. From a methodical description of how many lambs were to be sacrificed on a particular holiday, to the penalties for various crimes, to the laws on environmental protection, and provisions relating to inheritance and the family, this book contains every element of the Law of Moses. Like a modern legal code, the book is organized into 23 Titles, including a Family Code, Probate Code, Penal Code, Rules of Judicial Procedure, Business and Commerce Code, and many others. Each Title is catergorized into chapters, sections, and subsections. Never before has the Law of Moses been presented in such a clear manner. This book makes the perfect gift for a law student, a leader of bible studies, or anyone curious about this ancient body of Law that has so shaped our world.
