“Eye for eye, tooth for tooth” – Deuteronomy’s Justice
“Ultimately God is the final Judge, and in the meantime, people can (and do!) break His commands and commit many unjust and evil acts. Likewise, many courts have been (and still are!) corrupt and the innocent are unfairly punished for the crimes of the guilty. However, Deuteronomy did provide one caveat which was intended to severely curb such behavior…”

“Changing God’s mind”??
I’m currently reading through Deuteronomy (and using Christopher Wright’s fantastic commentary as I go, which, if you don’t have it, I HIGHLY recommend!).
