Capturing one's own Irsaelite brother and selling them into slavery was detestable to God. Furthermore, if a man had leprosy there were required to follow the priest's commands on how to to live out life. They were required to be mindful so that the community would not face hardship. When a fellow Israelite was in need, one was expected to lend with a tender heart as an act of consideration so that those receiving the help do not face hardship or get embarrassed about their situation. God established disciplinary measures in order to help the weak and poor.
God shows compassion and mercy for those who are weak and we should also think of the sufferings they experience as we thoughtfully show benevolence to one another.
Deuteronomy 24:1-13
1 If a man marries a woman who becomes displeasing to him because he finds something indecent about her, and he writes her a certificate of divorce, gives it to her and sends her from his house, 2 and if after she leaves his house she becomes the wife of another man, 3 and her second husband dislikes her and writes her a certificate of divorce, gives it to her and sends her from his house, or if he dies, 4 then her first husband, who divorced her, is not allowed to marry her again after she has been defiled. That would be detestable in the eyes of the Lord. Do not bring sin upon the land the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance.
5 If a man has recently married, he must not be sent to war or have any other duty laid on him. For one year he is to be free to stay at home and bring happiness to the wife he has married.
6 Do not take a pair of millstones—not even the upper one—as security for a debt, because that would be taking a person’s livelihood as security.
7 If someone is caught kidnapping a fellow Israelite and treating or selling them as a slave, the kidnapper must die. You must purge the evil from among you.
8 In cases of defiling skin diseases,[a] be very careful to do exactly as the Levitical priests instruct you. You must follow carefully what I have commanded them. 9 Remember what the Lord your God did to Miriam along the way after you came out of Egypt.
10 When you make a loan of any kind to your neighbor, do not go into their house to get what is offered to you as a pledge. 11 Stay outside and let the neighbor to whom you are making the loan bring the pledge out to you. 12 If the neighbor is poor, do not go to sleep with their pledge in your possession. 13 Return their cloak by sunset so that your neighbor may sleep in it. Then they will thank you, and it will be regarded as a righteous act in the sight of the Lord your God.
1. Did you think about Jesus when you woke up this morning?
2. What is God telling me?
3. What do I need to obey?
4. What are your thankful for?
