The laws which are given in this Chapter, are strikingly introduced by the authority of the lawgiver. I am the LORD your GOD. That LORD, which by right of sovereignty ought to be obeyed. That covenant GOD, which by virtue of the relationship hath a special claim upon Israel. And let the reader observe how frequently, through the Chapter, this authority is repeated.
