Deuteronomy 25

Same story as yesterday, and probably the day before that. The particular laws that stand out in this chapter are as follows:

- The law that a childless widow must marry her dead husband's brother and bear an heir for the deceased man. I think in the time of the Israelites family lines were more important than they are today, or at least more important than they are in my mind.


- The command to wipe out the Amalekites as retribution for their attacks on the Israelites during the Exodus. I don't actually remember the initial story of this happening, but I'll have to be on the lookout for its fulfillment.

*NOTE* - Somehow it looks like I forgot to hit "post" on this last night; I realized it when I looked today and saw that though I was read chapter 26 the last post was about 24. I'm posting it now, an appologize for any confusion!
