Deuteronomy 21 - 23

More societal instructions are given to the nation.  Procedures for resolving unsolved murders are outlines, the proper handling of war prisoners, laws governing inheritances - even the steps to take with rebellious children are spelled out.  God did not desire for His people to live in ignorance of what He expected.  Moral codes were given in detail to ensure that proper relationships between the sexes were maintained.  Sanitation practices were given so that the health and well-being of the people would not be hindered.
