Rules ,rules, rules.....always rules.
Today, we read in Ex 21-24 about the various rules and laws God gave to Moses (in addition to the 10 commandments). Why so many rules? The people of Israel were set apart by God as a chosen holy people, a kingdom of priests. The rules were meant for their general welfare, as well as to keep them focused. The principle that you will eventually worship what you serve definitely applies.
The rules of living Moses received from God have become the basis for many of our laws today. Reading through them, there are not ones that seem overly restrictive. Think about some of our laws and rules today. Do they not help you feel safer knowing that they are in place. Anarchy would rule if each decided what is right in their own eyes....but that period is still to come.....
