Loving God, Loving Neighbor
There's kind of two main large sections of laws here. One is in chapters, what we call chapters 12 to 18. And almost all of them are about the way that Israelites are to express their worship and allegiance to Yahweh. So this whole section really is focused on Israel and God or loving God. The second large section is in what we call Chapter 19 to 25. And it's almost all focused on laws giving instruction about family situations Or how the tribes are to relate to each other In economics and social structure and family. This fits into a big bucket that you could call loving your neighbor, expressing love to your neighbor. That's how Jesus summarized the law.
