Deuteronomy | Reading Plan + Study Questions

DAY 21 OF 34

DEUTERONOMY 21

LAWS ABOUT FEMALE CAPTIVES

Moses gives various laws about unsolved murders, marrying female captives, inheritance rights, and rebellious sons. God is merciful to the female captives, giving them time to mourn and telling the husbands they must not sell or enslave them.

Verses 22-23 explain that anyone who is put to death by being hung on a tree is cursed by God. Thousands of years later, the Apostle Paul references this law in Galatians 3:13 by saying “Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree.” Jesus took the curse for humanity to make atonement for the sins of those who love God.

STUDY QUESTIONS
