Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Deuteronomy 21:1-23

CRITICAL NOTES.—The reason for grouping these five laws, apparently so different from one another, as well as for attaching them to the previous regulations is found in the desire to bring out distinctly the sacredness of life and of personal rights from every point of view, and impress it upon the covenant nation.—(Keil).Deuteronomy 21:1-9.

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 21:1-23

Now in the 21st chapter.If you find a dead body out in the field and you don't know the circumstances of the death; here's a man; he's dead in the field.
