Read the Bible in a Year
Today Read Exodus 21 and 22


The Law Is Simple


In the case of premeditated murder, the Law of Moses is simple in showing the Israelites what to do, 

14 But if a man acts with premeditation against his neighbor, to kill him with guile, you shall take him from My altar, that he may die (Exo. 21:14). 

There are no exceptions, and once there is a conviction, Israel carried out the sentence. Likewise, God knows why criminals do their wickedness and He will deal with them in simplicity. Man complicates matters, but not God. Rest assured that God will do justly. Therefore, let us resist personal vengeance and place matters in the hands of God.
