Deuteronomy 21 General Notes
Special concepts in this chapter
Elders
Older men were required to lead the people of Israel and help to administer justice. These men would function as judges, which would later become a more official position. (See: rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/justice)
Peace in Israel
The rules and instructions in this chapter help to ensure peace in Israel. This is not a military peace. Instead, it is about establishing peace within Israel and among the people.
