Mishpatim Study Exodus 21:1 - 24:18

Shabbat Shalom-

I had a very busy week this week working, going out, and starting MCAT
teacher training so I decided to make this dvar a bit of a study
guide. Here's the question: What is the priority of the crimes of
this week's portion and what is its relation to the Decalogue of
Exodus 20 (and the tablets at 30:11 - 34:35)?

Write back with your thoughts.

Two clues:
1) The first situation in Exodus 21 may be considered the most
heinous, why?
2) The second tablets bear a resemblance to this portion, where and
why might that be?

The English for the second tablets is at

Good luck

See a Dvar Torah I liked on "Acts of God" in the Bible.

See another on living day to day (law) versus seeking a 'hedonistic'
spiritual high (revelation).
