Functional Categorization of the Law/zh

Rather than attempt to shoehorn our analysis of Biblical law into the traditional tripartite, exclusive divisions (see below), we propose the following set of non-exclusive, functional categories. We hope these help to distinguish the overlapping motives and purposes behind each law.

• Loving God
• Loving one's neighbor
• Family Regulations
• Human Judicial Response
  • Judicial Procedure
  • Restorative Justice
  • Retributive Justice
• Typological Function
  • Ritual Cleanness
  • Sacrificial Regulations
• Levitical Priesthood Regulations
• Israelite Land Regulations
• One-time Command

以上应视为非排他性的“类别”，而不是“部门”。 随着项目的进展，可以对这些类别进行修改，以更好地理解神的律法及其各个部分。
