Deuteronomy 14 - 17

Moses recounts the laws of kosher, the differences between the clean and unclean animals. All the people must bring a tithe of their increase to the Lord, which goes to the Levites and priests for their living.

Debts are to be wiped out in the 7th year, and all who sold themselves into slavery to pay their debts will go free. The law concerning bond slaves is described in chapter 15, where a man can voluntarily choose to serve his master for the rest of his life, when he might have otherwise been freed.

The laws of Passover, and the 7 annual feasts of the Lord, are outlined again in chapter 16.

The laws of corporal punishment are called out for the good of the people, so that the nation will not become corrupted. God predicts that the people will eventually want a king to reign over them, and tells them in advance that He will choose who is to be king in Israel.
