This post covers the last third of Moses' second address in Deuteronomy 21-26. In these chapters Moses talks about familial issues (such as marriage and parenting), murder, rape, tithes and fair business practices.

A look at the tenth commandment: thou shalt not covet. Coveting is more than just wanting; it involves jealousy and envy. Romans 7:7 tells us that lusting is to covet. From this we can gather that coveting goes beyond a mere want, erring toward obsession. Envy is something we feel when we aren't satisfied with what we have. Coveting is what we do when we become envious. An important distinction to make is the difference between wanting and coveting, and why God would tell us not to covet. We all want things, and wanting is one way of setting goals for ourselves.

A look at the ninth commandment: thou shalt bear false witness against thy neighbor.

A look at the eighth commandment: thou shalt not steal.

A look at the seventh commandment: thou shalt not commit adultery.

A look at the sixth commandment: thou shalt not kill.

The fifth commandment—Honor thy Father and thy Mother—is discussed.

Moses trains leaders to judge God's will and is given the Ten Commandments by God himself.
