«These are the judgements which you shall set before them.» Exodus 21:1
Aside from the ten commandments, God gave the people several other laws because the life of the Hebrews was very disorganized. In addition to learning to worship idols in Egypt, the Hebrews didn’t know how to treat each other, how to take care of their health, nor how to keep themselves pure before God.
So, God had to teach them many important lessons for them to become happy, healthy, and prosperous people, and for all the other nations to follow their example.
There were laws about how mom and dad should treat each other, how to treat a slave, how to treat animals, how to treat a thief, how to worship God, and many others.
Let’s practice!
Draw a road sign that symbolizes a law that we need to respect.
