Verse 4
Animals 25:4
God’s care for animals as His creatures lay behind this law. The Apostle Paul expounded the significance of this command (1 Corinthians 9:9; 1 Timothy 5:18).
"The purpose clearly was not only to provide for the ox itself but to make the point by a fortiori argument that if a mere animal was worthy of humane treatment, how much more so was a human being created as the image of God." [Note: Merrill, Deuteronomy, p. 325.]
