Deuteronomy 21:10-22:8 Laws Concerning the Preservation of Life (June 06, 2021 PM, Rev. Michael Grasso)

The sixth commandment, “You shall not murder”, entails more than simply refraining from killing another person.  In Deuteronomy 21:10-22:8 Moses expounds the sixth commandment to include preserving life for the vulnerable, those in one’s family, and even one’s enemies.  It is a violation of the sixth commandment to deprive another of the things needed for life.
