Text 10 Exodus 21-29

Exodus 21-29 http://biblehub.com/nlt/exodus/21.htm 

"The laws are patterned after ancient covenants known as "suzerainty treaties", where a conqueror made a treaty with the conquered in which he benefited them with his protection and care as long as they would abide by treaty stipulations. There are six parts to such covenants:
1. Preamble, which identifies the giver of the covenant ("the LORD your God," 20:2)
2. Prologue, which serves as a reminder of he relationship of the suzerain to the people ("who brought you out of Egypt", 20:2)
3. Stipulations, which are various laws/ obligations on the part of the people (20:3-23:19; 25:1-31:18)
4. Document clause, which provides for periodic readings and relearning of the covenant
5. Sanctions, which describes the blessings and curses as incentives for obedience
6. List of witnesses to the covenant."
