Exodus 21 begins the “Book of the Covenant,” a collection of laws that elaborate on the Ten Commandments, specifically addressing civil and social justice. This chapter outlines regulations concerning Hebrew servants, capital offenses, personal injuries, and property damage. It reveals God's meticulous concern for justice, protection of the vulnerable, and the establishment of a righteous society, demonstrating how the covenant relationship with God was to be lived out in daily life among His people.
