This passage contains a '''positive''' command, a statute, directed toward Israel: &amp;quot;If a man strikes his servant and permanently injures his servant's eye or tooth, he shall let the servant go free.&amp;quot;. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/translate&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;translate&amp;gt;This command is part of the {{:Translink|Category:Civil/Judicial Law}}. [[Category:Civil/Judicial Law]]&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/translate&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

This law fits in with other laws related to {{:Translink|Category:Human Judicial Response}}. [[Category:Human Judicial Response]]&lt;br /&gt;

=={{:NotesonInterpretationApplicationname/{{#var:pglang}}}}==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Eye or Tooth===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This command is commonly interpreted in such a way that it is applicable to all permanent incapacitations, and not only to damaged eyes and teeth. That is to say, if a master strikes his slave and breaks his slaves fingers or legs, then the slave should go free.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Retributive Justice not Waived===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This command is understood not to supersede other passages offering protection for persons. By the above passage, the slave should be set free. However, this does not say anything to indicate that it should negate or waive the protection given to the slave by [[Leviticus 24:19-20]] and [[Deuteronomy 19:15-20]]. In addition to being freed for the sake of his injuries, should the slave choose to press charges and should there be sufficient testimony to pursue the matter, the master could receive a retributive beating as penalty for the injuries done to his slave (not to exceed the maximum beating as per Deuteronomy 25:1-3 -- see {{:Translink|Category:Lex Talionis}}).[[Category:Lex Talionis]]&lt;br /&gt;

This passage contains a '''positive''' command, a statute, directed toward Israel: &amp;quot;If men fight and hurt a pregnant woman so that she gives birth prematurely, and yet no harm follows, he shall be surely fined as much as the woman's husband demands and the judges allow. But if any harm follows, then you must take life for life, eye for eye, hand for hand, foot for foot, burning for burning, wound for wound, bruise for bruise.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

This law fits well with laws relating to {{:Translink|Category:Human Judicial Response}}.[[Category:Human Judicial Response]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This law contributes to an understanding of {{:Translink|Category:Murder}}, {{:Translink|Category:Capital Punishment}}, {{:Translink|Category:Lex Talionis}}, and {{:Translink|Category:Created Order}} (for its implications on the value of human life, what makes a human, etc, inasmuch as it pertains to a child in the womb).[[Category:Created Order]][[Category:Lex Talionis]][[Category:Capital Punishment]][[Category:Murder]]&lt;br /&gt;

=={{:NotesonInterpretationApplicationname/{{#var:pglang}}}}==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Abortion===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This verse plays a significant role in the argument that the Bible values life in and out of the womb equally, because it appears to apply the lex talionis and the death penalty for harm to people inside the womb, which is the same penalty applied for harm to people outside the womb. For this reason, people who hope to make the case that the Bible supports abortion or does not support the value of human life inside the womb are motivated to interpret this verse in a way suitable to their ideals. The argument often hinges on careful consideration for a few key clauses in the passage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====&amp;quot;So that she gives birth prematurely&amp;quot;====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Other translations render this phrase, &amp;quot;so that she miscarries&amp;quot;. The wording here is used by pro-abortion advocates to argue that this necessarily describes a deceased child, with the implication that there should be no penalty for harm done to a child in the womb, and so abortion would therefore be acceptable as far as this verse is concerned. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The argument by pro-abortion advocates here fails on analysis of the Hebrew word which is translated &amp;quot;miscarriage&amp;quot;. The Hebrew word here is &amp;quot;yatsa'&amp;quot;, and it simply means &amp;quot;come out&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;depart&amp;quot;. It is notably used to describe Noah exiting the ark (Genesis 8:16) and the live birth of Jacob and Esau (Genesis 25:25-26). The word does not in any way imply a still birth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====&amp;quot;if no harm follows...if there is harm&amp;quot;====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The passage does not specify whether or not &amp;quot;harm&amp;quot; applies directly to the woman or to the child, but plainly the word is being applied to one or both of them, since the woman received the blow and the child was affected. This nuance is used by pro-abortion advocates to argue that the word harm must only apply to the mother.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The argument by pro-abortion advocates here fails on consideration of the case at hand, and the reasons for taking one interpretation over another. For starters, the lex talions and &amp;quot;life for life&amp;quot; is already applied to adults in multiple passages elsewhere (see respective topics). This specific passage would be redundant except that it specifies that the victim was a pregnant woman who has given birth as a result of the incident. If the passage didn't exist, and any harm was done to the woman, the other passages prescribing the death penalty for murder and the lex talionis for harm would suffice to affect justice on behalf of the injured woman. The only reason, therefore, that this passage could exist with such (otherwise random and meaningless) detail is to make clear that the protection is offered also to the child. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, the argument on this point serves to illustrate a significant hermeneutic issue. Given the surrounding detail, the only reason for a pro-abortion advocate to draw on this perceived ambiguity (although there is really no ambiguity) is because that person has already decided what they wish the text to say, prior to reading the text. It is an inappropriately motivated interpretation.&lt;br /&gt;

This passage contains a series of statutes, directed toward Israel, prescribing proper penalty for an assault where the victim is incapacitated, but not killed. There are two scenarios: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Verse 19 gives the general rule: if a man is attacked and incapacitated for any period of time, the attacker shall pay for the loss of time and pay for all of his related medical expenses until he is fully healed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Verse 21 gives an exception: if the man who was attacked was the servant of the attacker, then the attacker is not punished, because the servant is his property. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Verse 20 qualifies the exception: if the servant is killed, the master shall be punished accordingly.&lt;br /&gt;

===&amp;quot;Because the slave is his property&amp;quot;===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The maximum term for Israelite slavery ends at the year of Jubilee (Per Deut 15:12). For this reason, the value of a slave is calculated from the point of sale until the year of Jubilee (Leviticus 25:50-52). This date of release is not adjusted for slaves who were injured during their service; whether on or off the job.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This means, if a master strikes his slave and incapacitates the slave, then the time during which the slave is incapacitated is lost income for the master. If the master had to make additional payment for the slave's time, it would be a redundant penalty.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As additional support for this interpretation, the Hebrew word which is here translated &amp;quot;property&amp;quot; is literally translated &amp;quot;silver&amp;quot;, prompting some translations to render this, &amp;quot;because the slave is his money&amp;quot;. The implication here is that an injured slave is already &amp;quot;lost money&amp;quot; for the master. &lt;br /&gt;

===What is a curse?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A brief examination of blessings and curses in the Bible finds that they are effective, and that they can impact the target person and his progeny for several generations. A prominent example is the curse on Ham, coupled with the blessings on Shem and Japheth in Genesis 9, which are understood to impact their role and lot for the rest of human history; Ham's descendants were Canaan, a target for annihilation by God's command. A curse on one's own parents is effectively a curse on one's own self and all of one's own children. It's a frightening expression of self-destruction.&lt;br /&gt;

===&amp;quot;Or if he is found in his hand&amp;quot;===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alternative translations render this, &amp;quot;whether the victim has been sold or is still in the kidnapper's possession.&amp;quot;, indicating that the verse refers only to the kidnapper. Others render it, &amp;quot;and anyone found in possession of him&amp;quot;, indicating that the verse applies the death penalty to anyone who comes into possession of a kidnapped man, whether or not they were the initial kidnappers. A more careful examination of the Hebrew should be conducted to identify which is proper.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The implication of this distinction may have bearing on whether a person who knowingly (or perhaps unknowingly) purchases stolen goods is subject to the same penalty as the thief.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A parallel passage for consideration is Deuteronomy 24:7, which says, {{#scripture: Matthew 5:17}}.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although this parallel refers specifically to instances where an Israelite steals a fellow Israelite, it more plainly prescribes the death penalty to the thief.&lt;br /&gt;

This command is a continuation and restatement of [[Exodus 21:12]], a followup on the qualifier given in [[Exodus 21:13]]. That is, the penalty for intentional and premeditated murder is death, but unintentional manslayers may flee to the appointed place (verse 13).&lt;br /&gt;

The death penalty for murder is understood to be an abiding rule for governments in the new covenant. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ultimate fulfillment for capital punishment is the ultimate death penalty, that is the second death (Romans 6:23, Revelation 21:8), which is received by all those who have not received Jesus Christ as the sacrifice for the propitiation of their sins. After the judgment in God's court, where all such individuals receive that penalty, God grants eternal life to those who have believed, and they go to a place where death is no more (Revelation 21:4). &lt;br /&gt;

It's possible that the word &amp;quot;altar&amp;quot; here refers to the &amp;quot;place where he shall flee&amp;quot; in verse 13. That is to say, in the results of an investigation, if a man is found to have committed premeditated murder, and if that same man has fled to a city of refuge as if it were unintentional, the man shall be removed from the city of refuge and put to death.&lt;br /&gt;

For lack of a passage describing the direct abrogation of this penalty in the New Covenant, this command is understood to impose a persistent obligation on modern government. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The command finds its ultimate fulfillment in the finished work of Jesus, such that when all history has finally run its course, everyone who has believed in Jesus will have eternal life (John 3:15). At that time, death itself will have been cast into eternal destruction and thus rendered unable to affect us (Rev 20:14).&lt;br /&gt;

Cities of refuge are an essential component of Biblical Civil Law pertaining to manslaughter, and appear therefore to have abiding necessity in the context of modern Biblical Government. The details of how this works in the modern context are derived in a more complex manner, since (among other things) the cities themselves were to be governed by Levites, and the Levitical order is certainly passed away.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
This command is a continuation and restatement of [[Exodus 21:12]], a followup on the qualifier given in [[Exodus 21:13]]. That is, the penalty for intentional and premeditated murder is death, but unintentional manslayers may flee to the appointed place (verse 13).&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;translate&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The death penalty for murder is understood to be an abiding rule for governments in the new covenant. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ultimate fulfillment for capital punishment is the ultimate death penalty, that is the second death (Romans 6:23, Revelation 21:8), which is received by all those who have not received Jesus Christ as the sacrifice for the propitiation of their sins. After the judgment in God's court, where all such individuals receive that penalty, God grants eternal life to those who have believed, and they go to a place where death is no more (Revelation 21:4). &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
It's possible that the word &amp;quot;altar&amp;quot; here refers to the &amp;quot;place where he shall flee&amp;quot; in verse 13. That is to say, in the results of an investigation, if a man is found to have committed premeditated murder, and if that same man has fled to a city of refuge as if it were unintentional, the man shall be removed from the city of refuge and put to death.&lt;br /&gt;

Cities of refuge are an essential component of Biblical Civil Law pertaining to manslaughter, and appear therefore to have abiding necessity in the context of modern Biblical Government. The details of how this works in the modern context are derived in a more complex manner, since (among other things) the cities themselves were to be governed by Levites, and the Levitical order is certainly passed away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For extended discussion about the extent to which laws pertaining to Cities of Refuge are obligatory for Modern Government, see {{:Translink|Category:Cities of Refuge}} and {{:Translink|Category:Land Use}}.[[Category:Land Use]]&lt;br /&gt;

===Coherence of the Law===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It's significant that this passage about the cities of refuge is given in Exodus, but the cities themselves, and their purpose, are not detailed until Numbers. This kind of forward reference evidences that Biblical Law is a coherent set from a single author, who planned or knew the entire law in advance of issuing its statutes; it is not a series of disjointed, loosely-related books written over a long period of time.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;translate&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This command fits with laws related to {{:Translink|Category:Retributive Justice}}. &lt;br /&gt;

==={{:Fulfillmentname/{{#var:pglang}}}}===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;translate&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
For lack of a passage describing the direct abrogation of this penalty in the New Covenant, this command is understood to impose a persistent obligation on modern government. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The command finds its ultimate fulfillment in the finished work of Jesus, such that when all history has finally run its course, everyone who has believed in Jesus will have eternal life (John 3:15). At that time, death itself will have been cast into eternal destruction and thus rendered unable to affect us (Rev 20:14).&lt;br /&gt;

This passage contains a '''positive''' command, directed toward Israel: &amp;quot;Anyone who strikes a man so that he dies shall surely be put to death&amp;quot;. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/translate&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;translate&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This command fits with laws related to {{:Translink|Category:Retributive Justice}}. &lt;br /&gt;

It prescribes {{:Translink|Category:Capital Punishment}} as response to {{:Translink|Category:Murder}}.[[Category:Capital Punishment]]&lt;br /&gt;

For lack of a passage describing the direct abrogation of this penalty in the New Covenant, this command is understood to impose a persistent obligation on modern government. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The command finds its ultimate fulfillment in the finished work of Jesus, such that when all history has finally run its course, everyone who has believed in Jesus will have eternal life (John 3:15). At that time, death itself will have been cast into eternal destruction and thus rendered unable to affect us (Rev 20:14).&lt;br /&gt;

Issue: there appear to be no civil penalties for failure to release slaves on the sabbath year. However, this law clearly moderates a civil transaction, as it involves an exchange of goods/services. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Proposed solution: Consider treating a slave's time as the property of the slave, which is subject to a business deal wherein the slave gives that time to the master. Under these terms, failure to release a slave in the sabbath year or year of jubilee (or when the slave's term is otherwise complete) would be equivalent to theft of that slave's time, and so it would invoke the civil penalty for theft at whatever rate was agreed upon for that enslavement, times the modifier for theft (7 times, right? Is it always 7 times, or only in certain circumstances? Is 7 fold the same as 7 times? Gotta look all that up.)&lt;br /&gt;

This passage contains a series of statutes, directed toward Israel, qualified by the introduction (verse 7): &amp;quot;If a man sells his daughter to be a female servant, she shall not go out as the male servants do.&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The conditions under which a sold daughter may cease to be a slave are:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# If she does not please her master, who has designated [some translations:betrothed or married] her for himself, then he shall let her be redeemed. &lt;br /&gt;
# If she marries the master's son, then she shall be as a daughter.&lt;br /&gt;
# If, having married into the master's family, her husband takes another wife for himself, and if he diminishes her food, clothing, or marital rights, then she may go free without any payment of money (debts forgiven).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Adjacent to the first requirement, a negative command is given:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [Her displeased master, who has designated her for himself] shall have no right to sell her to a foreign people, since he has broken faith with her.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;== Announcements ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*2020/09/02 - Notes working and added; support for many languages in the works. Much work still do be done in categorization.&lt;br /&gt;
*2020/08/07 - Adding translations now, more streamlining, and continuing to add content. Passages categorized up into Exodus 20.&lt;br /&gt;
*2020/07/21 - The Chapter and Passage pages have been streamlined significantly. Some features still under construction. Progressively sanctifying our design for the topic structure. Bare-bones passage categorizations added up through Exodus 14.&lt;br /&gt;
*2020/07/02 - Significant formatting upgrades in progress. We're up through Exodus 9 in parsing the scripture. More commands per chapter in Exodus, so progress will be slower from here on out. Getting close to Sinai, though! Excited to dive into the actual law soon!&lt;br /&gt;
*2020/06/24 - Transitioning to our new location, courtesy of the host of this domain. Many thanks! Glad to be free from Fandom's advertisements.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

===Marriage Between two Slaves, and Release of the Slave Bride===&lt;br /&gt;

Granting an argument to the effect that, wherever the prerogative of a woman to accept or refuse marriage is not mentioned, it is assumed that she retains that right (see {{:Translink|Category:Marriage}}), the phrasing of this law to the effect that the master &amp;quot;gives his manservant a wife&amp;quot; does not imply that the marriage is forcibly arranged by the master. Rather, the assumption is that the male and female slave chose the marriage, and the master (acting as head of household over the woman) gave her away in marriage, which is typically the duty of a father.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The fact that she does not go free with her husband does not imply that she shall never go free, but rather, (on account of her having been a slave prior to their marriage, or else it would not have been in the master's authority to give her in marriage as it says in this passage), that she must complete the terms of her slavery and gain her own freedom independently. Had she not been a slave, then she would go free with her husband as it says in verse 3. If she was sold by her father, then her terms of release are outlined in [[Exodus 21:7-11]]; and as those terms are framed as an exception to the normal rule, we can only assume that for any other woman, her terms of release are the same as a male slave.&lt;br /&gt;

This ordinance is generally understood to represent a continuing obligation for modern civil government.&lt;br /&gt;

Commands relating to slavery and the forgiveness of debts find their ultimate fulfillment in Christ, who forgave all our trespasses, and canceled the record of our debt to God by nailing it to the cross (Colossians 2:13-14).&lt;br /&gt;

===Marriage Between two Slaves, and Release of the Slave Bride===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Granting an argument to the effect that, wherever the prerogative of a woman to accept or refuse marriage is not mentioned, it is assumed that she retains that right (see {{:Translink|Category:Marriage}}, the phrasing of this law to the effect that the master &amp;quot;gives his manservant a wife&amp;quot; does not imply that the marriage is forcibly arranged by the master. Rather, the assumption is that the male and female slave chose the marriage, and the master (acting as head of household over the woman) gave her away in marriage, which is typically the duty of a father.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The fact that she does not go free with her husband does not imply that she shall never go free, but rather, (on account of her having been a slave prior to their marriage, or else it would not have been in the master's authority to give her in marriage as it says in this passage), that she must complete the terms of her slavery and gain her own freedom independently. Had she not been a slave, then she would go free with her husband as it says in verse 3. If she was sold by her father, then her terms of release are outlined in [[Exodus 21:7-11]]; and as those terms are framed as an exception to the normal rule, we can only assume that for any other woman, her terms of release are the same as a male slave.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Issue: there appear to be no civil penalties for failure to release slaves on the sabbath year. However, this law clearly moderates a civil transaction, as it involves an exchange of goods/services. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Proposed solution: Consider treating a slave's time as the property of the slave, which is subject to a business deal wherein the slave gives that time to the master. Under these terms, failure to release a slave in the sabbath year or year of jubilee (or when the slave's term is otherwise complete) would be equivalent to theft of that slave's time, and so it would invoke the civil penalty for theft at whatever rate was agreed upon for that enslavement, times the modifier for theft (7 times, right? Is it always 7 times, or only in certain circumstances? Is 7 fold the same as 7 times? Gotta look all that up.)&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

This passage contains a '''positive''' command, directed toward Israel: &amp;quot;If you buy a Hebrew servant, he shall serve six years, and in the seventh year he shall go free without paying anything&amp;quot;. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/translate&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==={{:Categoriesname/{{#var:pglang}}}}===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;translate&amp;gt;This command is part of the {{:Translink|Category:Civil/Judicial Law}}. [[Category:Civil/Judicial Law]]&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/translate&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;translate&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The command fits with laws relating to {{:Translink|Category:Loving one's Neighbor}} and to {{Translink|Category:Jew/Gentile Cultural Separation}}.[[Category:Loving one's Neighbor]][[Category:Jew/Gentile Cultural Separation]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This passage is relevant to an understanding of {{:Translink|Category:Slavery}}. In view of its parallels in Leviticus 25:39-46 and Deuteronomy 15:3,12-18, it is also relevant to an understanding of {{:Translink|Category:Citizenship}} because this release in the seventh year is afforded to Hebrew slaves in particular, to the {{:Translink|Sabbath:Sabbath}} because this relates to the Sabbath Year (or the &amp;quot;Year of Jubilee&amp;quot;).[[Category:Slavery]][[Category:Citizenship]][[Sabbath:Sabbath]]&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/translate&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==={{:Fulfillmentname/{{#var:pglang}}}}===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;translate&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The continuing application of this command requires further investigation, as there are various views about the abiding validity of &amp;quot;sabbaths&amp;quot;, whether or not all sabbaths are abrogated, or whether laws pertaining to the sabbath year are subject to different terms from laws pertaining to the sabbath day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The command to forgive debts, in particular, finds its ultimate fulfillment in Christ, who forgave all our trespasses, and canceled the record of our debt to God by nailing it to the cross (Colossians 2:13-14). &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/translate&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;translate&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This passage contains a '''positive''' command, directed toward Moses: &amp;quot;These are the commands you are to set before them:&amp;quot;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The command is phrased as with the assumption that Moses already intends to set these commands before Israel, and so it is offered here as an introduction to the set of commands which follow in the rest of the chapter. The understood imperative for Moses is to set the commands before Israel.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/translate&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==={{:Categoriesname/{{#var:pglang}}}}===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;translate&amp;gt;This command is part of the {{:Translink|Category:Principles and Definitions}}. It is a {{:Translink|Category:One-time Command}}.[[Category:Principles and Definitions]][[Category:One-time Command]]&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/translate&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;translate&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This passage contributes to an understanding of {{:Translink|Category:Prophecy}}; it introduces the law as being issued *by God* and *through Moses*.[[Category:Prophecy]]&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/translate&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==={{:Fulfillmentname/{{#var:pglang}}}}===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;translate&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The command saw immediate fulfillment when Moses issued the law to Israel in the following passages. The law was fulfilled in ultimate by Jesus Christ (see Matt 5:17).&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/translate&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
