It looks like this section of Deuteronomy is full of laws, and this chapter is no exception. The particular instructions that stand out to me here are as follows:
- Laws concerning divorce and remarriage; apparently divorce was allowed for some limited reasons, and remarriage to another person as well, but not marrying the person you were divorced from again
- The separation of a child and parent in terms of responsibility for sins; while God would punish or bless descendants for their ancestors' sins the Israelites were not to
- The concept that one should not be too thorough in harvesting; the leftovers were to be left for the poor in the community
