vi. The Legislation of Deuteronomy. — Turning to the subject of the laws contained in Dt, we have only space to make the following general observations : —
(1) The laws are arranged upon a rough general plan, in which the order observed is that of (a) religious duties, clis. 12-16; (6) civil ordin- ances, ens. 17-20 ; (c) rules for social and domestic life, chs. 21-25. But the reader will notice that there is no strict aJlierence to orderly arrange- ment.
(2) The language in which the laws recorded in 12-20 are written is, as a rule, somewhat diffuse and hortatory ; but in 21-25 tliere are many pas- sages having a close resemblance to the style of Ex 21-23, terse, and evidently often reproJucing the precise terms of the ancient codes.
(3) The laws make no claim to be a new code. So far as they are peculiar to D, they ' have, with very few exceptions, the appearance either of being taken directly, with unessential modifica- tions of form, from older law-books (especially many of those in 2Ii"-25'9), or else of being accepted applications of long-established prin- ciples (as 17*"'^ ig'^'-i), or the formulation of ancient customs (as 21'"' 22"'^i 2o''i'') expressed in Deuteronomic phraseology. And such laws as are really new in Dt are but the logical and consistent development of Mosaic principles' ( Driver, ZJeutero- nomy, Introd. p. Ivi).
The following outline will serve as a rough analysis of the principal laws : —
