Deuteronomy 22
Concise Complete
Of humanity towards brethren. (1-4) Various
precepts. (5-12) Against impurity. (13-30)
Verses 1-4 If
we duly regard the golden rule of "doing to others as we would they should do
unto us," many particular precepts might be omitted. We can have no property in
any thing that we find. Religion teaches us to be neighbourly, and to be ready
to do all good offices to all men. We know not how soon we may have occasion for
help.
Verses 5-12
God's providence extends itself to the smallest affairs, and his precepts do so,
that even in them we may be in the fear of the Lord, as we are under his eye and
care. Yet the tendency of these laws, which seem little, is such, that being
found among the things of God's law, they are to be accounted great things. If
we would prove ourselves to be God's people, we must have respect to his will
and to his glory, and not to the vain fashions of the world. Even in putting on
our garments, as in eating or in drinking, all must be done with a serious
regard to preserve our own and others' purity in heart and actions. Our eye
should be single, our heart simple, and our behaviour all of a piece.
Verses
13-30 These and the like regulations might be needful then, and yet it is
not necessary that we should curiously examine respecting them. The laws relate
to the seventh commandment, laying a restraint upon fleshly lusts which war
against the soul.
