Deuteronomy 24

v1-13: Following "the laws concerning divorce," comes a law to establish the "couple's affection for each other... when they first got married," by preventing the husband from being "away from his wife too much during the first year of their marriage." This shows how important it is for love to "be maintained between a husband and wife, and that everything should be carefully avoided which might come between them."

v14-15: An employer must not oppress their employees "by overloading them with work, giving them undue and unreasonable rebukes, or withholding proper pay from them."

v16-22: "The rich are commanded to be kind and charitable to the poor" by the Law of Moses in so many ways. They are to "have a generous heart" and "not hold on to every last item that they own." A specific application given by is for them to "not be greedy when gathering in their grain, grapes, and olives," and to "not worry about leaving any behind."

Deuteronomy 25

v1-4: The law about not muzzling an ox while it treads the grain is particularly significant because it is quoted twice in the New Testament to show that it is the duty of the people to support their pastors. Just as "the animals which serve us are to be given what is necessary to support their life, but also to reward their work," so "we are not only to maintain", but "also to encourage... those who work among us in the word and in teaching, and so are employed for our" good.

v5-12: Through this law that would provide a way for a dead man who had no child by his wife, to not be "blotted out of the lineage" of Israel, or to "remain there but branded as childless," by his brother marrying his wife and having a child with her, we are taught "that those who do not do what they ought to do to preserve the name and honour of others justly make their own reputation suffer."

v13-19: Next to this "law against deceitful weights and measures" is the command to eliminate the Amalekites which "is a just weight and a just measure" because of the trouble they caused to Israel after they left Egypt. This trouble was to be avenged because God's patience in delaying vengeance for so long had not "led the Amalekites to repentance."
